Book Description

October 2001
Gone are the days of yore when secrets were handed down by word of mouth from witch to witch when those new to the practice were initiated by their elders! At least they were gone until now. Lady Raya’s unique book, with accompanying CD and access to her website, give new initiates feedback at every step in their learning process. Follow the 13 lessons here to learn the basics of Wicca history, belief, and ritual. Learn about sacraments and sabbats—holy days. Learn about spells and how to cast them. Learn chants, and songs, and prayers. Finally, on the completion of lesson 13, the student can—if he or she wishes—become a full initiate of Elijan Wicca. In these 13 lessons, Lady Raya directs the reader in how to discover—and use for greater good—inner truths, intuitive powers, and the blossoming of the divine within.

Wicca—and witches—are the subject of television shows, movies, and dozens, if not hundreds of books. But this is the first printed and interactive text to teach seekers step-by-step how to practice the old ways, how to incorporate their practice into their daily lives, and to bring them into the Elijan coven through 21st century technology. This witch’s primer presents a 13-part course in the tradition of Elijan Wicca. At the student works through each of the lessons, he or she may take an online test. In the virtual environment of the World Wide Web, the student can meet with other Elijan Wiccans.

1.0 out of 5 stars 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine: A Witch's Primer, September 16, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine: A Witch's Primer (Paperback)
Perhaps at one time this was a satisfactory set. It contains a book, a CD and a supposed password to get into Lady Raya's web site where you are supposed to go through the lessons and get teaching assistance online at this website and eventually become a priestess in Lady Raya's coven.

Unfortunately, this website no longer exists. The Lady Raya website is now just a lot of information about shopping, real estate, dating services, etc. It is owned by someone in Equatorial Africa and has absolutly nothing to do with Wicca, Witchcraft and the like.

The CD sounds like Wiccan rap music to me!

I made the profoundly stupid mistake of buying this book and now, not being able to use it or really sell or get rid of it. No wonder Mondazzi has it listed for $1.20!!!

PS: Amazon, you should alter your explanation of what this book is about. It has changed dramatically since its publication in 2001 due to the loss of the website where the lessons were to be taught.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up for Lady Raya, May 2, 2003
By 
Suzanne D. Wallace (Paducah, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine: A Witch's Primer (Paperback)
Lady Raya's book is one of the best that I have seen on the subject of Wicca and the "Old Religion". The CD was also a helpful additon that I have not ran across with any other book of this nature.

I completed the course and thouroughly enjoyed taking it even though Lady Raya's course made me actually have to stop and think for a change. Also, the book required that you do some real inner work that is not found in other books of this nature.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning both more about Wicca and themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Tradition..., January 3, 2002
This review is from: 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine: A Witch's Primer (Paperback)
Lady Raya brings us another tradition of Wicca with 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine and Book of Shadows and Dreams. Elijan Wicca .

13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine is a complete study course. Included are 13 lessons, Cd, Book of Shadows and Dreams that is a blank hard cover book for your writings. Also gain access through a secret code on her website for online interactive training.

Lady Raya begins 13 Lessons for Pleasing the Divine with her own personal story of how and when she found her path and her initation to High Priestess. From there you explore the history of the craft, learn the inner workings of rituals and the partaking of sacrament. Learn to use gematria to interpret your dreams, design and create your own intitation to the goddess.

If you are a beginner in Wicca, an adept seeking different traditions, or perhaps just curious, then 13 Lessons for the Divine may be just what you are looking for.
