*Wonderful*
I have been studying Wicca for over 5 years now,but this wonderful book was one of my major stepping stones.
I don't actually remember how I got this book, but I have read it over and over.
S.RV is a brilliant witch, she includes her own stories, her attitudes and her intentions for you as a new witch, which is comforting when you are starting off in Wicca and everything seems a bit scary.
This book is fun, exciting, well written and extremely enjoyable.
I own everything she has ever written and would highly recommend it for new witches and first degree witches, I still go back to it when I am stuck or my memory has become a bit rusty!!
I am positve you will love it as much as I did (still do) :-)

Brilliant Guide To Witchcraft For New Generation Witches
This is an excellent book for beginners or skilled practioners because it offers all Wiccan ethics, tools of the trade, spells and celebrations- everything you need to know to get started or brush up on Witchcraft!I would you advice everything written by Silver Ravenwalf because she is simply a fabulous author, she also a mother so tells things how they are- not how others want you to see it and shows you how to create a magickal name and gives lists of suppliers and various pagan and Wiccan magazines and news letters available about the community. She explains everything so clearly and in such a humorous way you can't help but enjoy yourself during the reading. Buy a cheap notebook before starting to read this book because she asks you to buy one anyway and write down any personal views .eg. during the tools section she asks you to design an altar and design a magicakl name etc. A truly fantastic book, a definite buy for anyone serious about the craft and just right for the modern witch because she asks for down to earth things required during her spells and rituals .eg candles, scented oils and some simple gemstones and crystals (quartz, rose quartz, amethyst)- no over the top ingrediants like the fur or feathers of a rare or un-heard of animal. Shes gives list of herbs and what they are used for, what gemstones are needed for, how to cast the circle (and close it obviously), and recipes for holy water, florida water, thunder water etc. Everything a beginner needs. Blessed Be.

Not thorough enough
In this book, the first I've read by Mrs. RavenWolf, she cover lots of topics. Too bad they are not in depth. She skims by such topics as astral projection and reincarnation and as soon as you are interested, it's off to another subject. Also this is not a good book for anyone new the Craft. It gives a false introduction to Wicca by saying you can create an entire seperate human being to do things for you and that you can "bend" time. Maybe witches in Hollywood can do that but none that I know. A much much better book is Scott Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner"
