4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but helps if one already has "the basics", September 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wicca 2000: Invocations, Prayers, and Rituals for the Magickal Millennium (Paperback)

As with many of Ms. Telesco's books, this one is another great one in her down-to-earth 'Kitchen Witch' style, without all the ceremonial hoo-haw. However, it is not to be considered, at least in my opinion, a beginner book. It does not give definitions or any background, or basic tenants of Wicca or anything that teaches the religion per-se. For example, the beginner reading at one point may go "Watchtowers?!? What is that and how do I do it?" An explanation is not included that I could see. And interestingly, there is also no bibliography or any references or appendices, something that I think every book on Wicca or Witchcraft should have for further study, to outline the sources used to write the book and give it credibility. Not that Ms. Telesco needs any here - I have many of her books and love them all, but it seemed odd to me that there was nothing, the book just starts and ends abruptly, period. However, aside from that I think my overall opinion is that it is really a great book for someone further down their Path, it's very uplifting and spiritual; wonderful and refreshing as we go into the next millenium continuing on our spiritual journey to keep spirituality and our Pagan religions alive in our lives and in this busy ever-changing world. It contains many, many good rituals, meditations, invocations, prayers and more for multiple situations such as for the earth, for yourself, for growth, etc. There are even children's prayers and meditations, something that I don't usually see in a book of this genre. I have to say that it is less about Wicca (since it is only referenced in passing, as in "as Wiccans, we feel...") and more about our spiritual growth and aspirations as Pagans as we prepare ourselves to move ahead and grow on the fast track to (and in) the year 2000 while trying to remain true to the Old Ways and the magick in everyday life. Would make a excellent supplemental to a more experienced Wiccan or Witch's library and is well rounded and pleasant to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Solitary Practitioners Guide & Reference, January 24, 2000

By 

"ladykimberlyn" (Salem) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wicca 2000: Invocations, Prayers, and Rituals for the Magickal Millennium (Paperback)

This book is definitely one of the easiest to understand.. Though it lacks history of what Wicca is and what it stands for.. it truly is a MUST READ for any Witch. Newbies to the craft may be left with some small questions.. so it would be wise if you know nothing about the craft, to have a dictionary near by.. there are wonderful "kitchen witch"(modern witch) spells, simple invocations, and a lot of easy to understand reading material.. the down side of this book though.. is that most of it seems to take on a view of a "white-light" witch's perspective.. it is IMPORTANT that people realize that all magic is equal.. and ALL spells have a consequence.. the 3x's law still applies.. This book is easy to read, easy to understand, and extremely helpful.. I have been a solitary witch for many years, and have found that this book is also better used as a Solitary Practitioner's Guide & Reference.. Coveners are not discuraged but I think most would agree that the spells suit a solitary witch rather than a coven or a group.. though I am sure you could write your own spells from the ideas given here..(The ice-cube spell is as simple as it is effective) Always remember to Thank the God & Goddess after a ritual.. Brightest Blessings & Blessed Be!

This review is from: Wicca 2000: Invocations, Prayers, and Rituals for the Magickal Millennium (Paperback)

Having just discovered wicca, I was advised to read as much as I could get my hands on. My local bookstore is small and this book was the only one I could find, I was not disappointed! It tells everything from prayers, spells, effective ways to meditate, to instructions on how to perform rituals. I found this book extremelly helpfull and recommend it to anyone interested in learning about Wicca.
