I purchased this book as an amateur. I payed about $15 for it (but I also bought a nifty bookmark with it!) and I got every cent worth out of it. I wanted to read a little about the actual craft, wanting to know what I was getting myself into, and ended up getting history, culture, spells, potions, definitions, and more. I would TOTALLY suggest buying this book! It is great, even for an adult!

I got this book with a different cover and title to the one here (I think maybe it's the english version that I've got) But it was brilliant! I have about 7 books on Wicca but this is definitely my favourite. I would recommend it to anyone starting Wicca as a solitary and without guidance.

This was one of the first books i got on wicca and it is great. there's basic history, explanation of certain symbols like the pentagram, and vision exercises. which are really easy and fun. i recamend this book to any teenager who is starting out in wicca. Blessed Be.

Don't let the cover of this book fool you. I know it looks like a "fluff bunny" book, but it's not. She gives you a good history, visualizations, and pretty of excellent ways to celebrate the sabbats. The spells are good, but some of the stuff may be hard to acquire if you don't live near a new age shop. But it is a good book.

**This was a book report assignment I gave my 11 year old daughter. Instead it turned into a pretty well written review worthy enough to be shared here.

Do you ever wonder why witchcraft is really about? Well then you might want to pick up,"Spellbound: The Teenage Witch's Wiccan Handbook" by Teresa Moorey. Teresa explains the in's and the outs of witchcraft from her point view. The book is filled with fun quizzes and rituals including one called "Your First Ritual". In actuality though,properly named it should read "Your First Wiccan Ritual" because most of us have experienced "Sunday Ritual" and the whole church experience. She also includes simple spells here and there throughout the book making learning about the old times fun! The author even puts in two whole chapters devoted on the seasons and the celebrations associated with them.

The author removes the fantasy and misconceptions about witches. She desires that readers know that witches aren't evil and green faced old women who go about flying around on a broom and eating children as Ronald Dahl believes. (Although, I would find broom flying rather fun)Witches are just like everyone else except they are really connected to nature.

The truth is witches do not follow a patriarchal religion of the God of the bible and Jesus Christ but instead embrace the life affirming ideals of the Great Mother and look to Her divine presence in nature.

Near the end of the book, there is list of Goddesses and Gods with a paragraph of explanations for all them to help widen the young readers understanding of these divine figures. It's a great book that I would recommend to not only teens and pre-teens (like me) but to anyone who is very new and clueless about this wonderful nature loving path of the witch. It's a wonderful resource for the young and old.

I bought this book for my daughter and I found myself using it. Great for the teens and the teens in us all.

I thought this book was great the way it explained witchcraft but I thought Teresa could of gave more details for the spells.

I'm only 12 so I don't understand all of it but if your really a teen this book would be for you.
