5.0 out of 5 stars VERY USEFUL, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pocket Guide to Wicca (Crossing Press Pocket Guides) (Paperback)

This book is an EXCELENT resource!

Now it doesn't begin or attempt to give the material that "Wicca" or "Living Wicca" by Scott Cunningham provides.

I mark sections of this book that demonstrates "Why I am a Wiccan" and loan this little volume to friends when they want to learn a little about my beliefs. then I send the new would be Wiccans to the Scott Cunningham material mentioned earlier. or True Magick by Amber K.

"Pocket Guide to Wicca," by Paul Tuitean and Estelle Daniels, is an effective, user-friendly introduction to a diverse and growing religious movement. Practicing Wiccans themselves, Tuitean and Daniels share a wealth of data in a very readable style.

Despite its length of only 128 pages, the book covers a good range of subjects: the history of Wicca, Wiccan beliefs and practices, coven organization, festivals and rites of passage, ritual tools, etc. I was particularly fascinated by the brief history of Wicca, which covers the work of Gerald Gardner and other pioneers.

The authors describe Wicca as "a modern version of the original pre-Christian, European shamanic religious tradition." In addition to putting out basic information about Wicca, the authors also clearly mean to dispel "misunderstanding and. . . misconceptions" about this religion and its adherents.

Although I do not practice Wicca myself, I am a strong believer in religious tolerance and interfaith education. I thus salute Tuitean and Daniels for their work on this book. If "Pocket Guide to Wicca" helps to empower Wiccans and to dispel prejudice among non-Wiccans, then all people, regardless of religious identity, will benefit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very precise and to the point for beginning Wiccans., July 25, 1999

As a fast easy reference book, I found it to be very easy to use. It gives a brief history, but gets down to business with the actual information that you are seeking in order to accomplish your magick. Very good for beginners.
