In the New Age book field, it is impossible to guess which book is going to be popular and which one is not. But when I looked at the manuscript to Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft I knew it was going to be something special! Few books have been as needed, and as anticipated as this one-it’s the first totally comprehensive, eclectic, and sensible guide to the art and the practice of modern Wicca!

I say “Wicca” rather than “Witchcraft” because it includes not only the Craft of the Wise but gives you a firm foundation for understanding the spiritual dimension that is the essence of this born again Old Religion for the Modern World.

There are so many Wiccan traditions today that it really doesn’t matter what we call it any more. What matters is that it is a real, growing, living religion filled with love of the gods, magick, divination, healing and much more. And Ray’s book has become the premier guide for all of those who wish to follow this spiritual path!Beside the breadth of information covered in this book, the real key to it is the design. It is a workbook. You can use it by yourself or you can use it as a text for a coven. In fact, we have heard from many covens that use this as the source of their secret Books of Shadows.Wicca, by nature, is a simple faith that has great depth. You can pick up this book and use it as a source for the external aspects of Wicca, or you can study it and plumb the magical depths of this spiritual path.

This book has become a key resource in the rebirth of the Craft. It is a must for your personal research and practice or for your coven’s library.
