Customer Reviews

Long Overdue!!
Judy's book is an excellent resource for both the self-created as well as lineaged Coven leader.

Focusing on real-life concerns such as determining training outline content, group dynamics, fascilitating individual & group growth, *Wicca Covens* helps give the group leader workable tools to use to in helping them develop their own teaching style & more efficiently guide their own students towards their own goals.

Definately no "canned" training outlines here!

A must read for anyone either presently or soon-to-be running a training group.

Great job Judy!

A Wonderful Book by One Who Was There
This is a long-needed book about coven leadership - not Magic Power of Witchcraft, not spells to make you Goddess of the Office, and not another rehash of the Atlantean Grandmother Tradition of Sacred Memory.

What makes WICCA COVENS a particularly powerful book is that Judy was =there= almost from the very beginning of the New York NeoPagan scene. She speaks and writes from over two decades of experience as a priestess, healer, and facilitator. I am seriously looking forward to spending many many hours with this book, but I wanted to rave about it now. I'm convinced it will save a lot of people from making painful mistakes, both in seeking out a coven and in running one.

I guarentee this is one book that will be on Bast's reading list.

Should Become a Classic Text of Its Field
Wiccan High Priestess and professional counselor Judy Harrow has contributed a long-needed and valuable book for the Wiccan community. In a lucid, articulate style that makes her book a pleasure to read, she draws on her many years of expertise in both fields to provide a textbook for spiritual groups that operate within a small structure. Her grasp of the dynamics of group work is formidable, and explained in a format that is accessible to any non-professional. She offers many valuable pointers for group leaders--such as defining the important difference between pastoral and psychotherapeutic counseling, and how to avoid overlap--as well as defining possible pitfalls and offering commonsense solutions. The book is enriched by the voices of her students, many of them coven leaders today. I'm a professional counselor myself, and would highly recommend this book to anyone working with small groups of any kind. Bravo, Judy!
