5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent!!!!!, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diary of a Witch (Paperback)

i actually purchased this paperback second-hand many many years ago when i was a teen. i felt back then i wasnt ready for this book and couldnt get "into" it, yet i hung onto it because i knew i would want to read it one day(i am now in my mid-30's). i read it in a short span of a couple of days in spite of a busy schedule and found it refreshingly honest and open about the emotions Sybil Leek experienced growing up in a Witch household and all of the special people who touched her life and shaped her experiences in England and throughout the world. Her special friendship with Aleister Crowley from early childhood was especially endearing to read about and gave a great insight to his personality. its a wonderful and entertaining as well as informative auto-biographical story. i highly recommend it to all!

I wizzed through this borrowed copy of "Diary of a Witch" in one day this summer. This is a delightful book that is well written and easy to read. I too have never read anything about witches or thier relgion wicca. It dispells (no pun intended!) any preconcieved notions, most of which are negative, you may have about witchcraft. Sybil certainly lead a very interesting life or she's a great story teller. Which ever way you look at it, if you are open minded I am sure you'll enoy this book.

This review is from: Diary of a Witch (Hardcover)

Sybil Leek -- to generations that name means many things, yet, in fact, while many credit Gerald Gardener with the revitalisation of Wicca, Sybil Leek was the one to really bring the neo-Pagan arts to the masses, and to live her craft. I'm only allowed 1000 words here, and I can't even begin to say enough about her. I'd have paid a lot more for this book myself, and have searched for it for a few years. The Complete Art of Witchcraft, in whatever condition you can find it, is also a great read, and if anyone's got a copy of her book of Curses out there, put it up for sale, and I'll see what I can scrape together to give it a good home. Great witches never die, their words and actions live on and ensure them a place in the halls of immortality. May she and Mr. Hotfoot Jackson be reuinted in the Summerlands or beyond, and if that was not her last time around, may I meet her in this incarnation.
