If you are a beginner and are interested in Witchcraft, then do yourself a favor and stay away from ALL of Silver Ravenwolf's books. Would you want to study from a so-called Witch that doesn't even live by the Rede? She is a hypocrite and her books prove it! She goes on and on and on about how the Rede says "Harm none," yet she details a spell for a successful deer hunt! Wow, is hunting deer not harming it? Yes in fact the act of KILLING is indeed the act of HARMING! Ravenwolf is no different that the hypocritical christians that stand for hours in anti-abortion lines and then, when it's all over, they run to the nearest fast food restaurant for a quick burger! The only thing Ravenwolf's books are good for is kindling your fireplace!
