Even though the thought of witch craft had intrigued me for a long time, I never seemed to pursue the interest. Until I saw this book. It's simplicity and beauty grabbed me and in a completly non-intimidating way brought me into the world of magic. It touched on the basics of so many of my questions, such as the history and differences of various forms of witch craft, the definitions and meanings of many elements of magic and a starting knowledge of the practicing wiccan. This wonderful book has left me actively and confidently pursuing more knowledge. I look forward to reading it again.
