Great Wholistic Guide for beginners

This is a great intro to all sides of Wicca for those who is curious or has some holes in knowledge:) The book is super easy to navigate and you can skip topics (chapters) that you are not interested in. Each chapter is independent (though system used logically) and author mentions previous chapters in the text if she uses terms mentioned earlier.

I personally had only an idea of what Wicca is, so when I decided to learn about Wicca I did not even know where to start. All other books I saw tonight about one tradition or another. This book is something like an intro, it talks about all, from history to different traditions, practices and elements of Wicca. Therefore I find this book a perfect starter.

Wicca dictionary is non existent.

unless you're studying a specific Wiccan practice or sect the terminology is all over the place.

Fine

Not as in depth as I would have liked. I also had some issues with the way they present Wicca as an ancient practice. Some good info if you are just starting.
