After borrowing this book from a close friend, I knew I had to get a copy for myself. From Doreen Valiente's last poem to Patricia Kennealy Morrison's retelling of her pagan past (and present) with deceased husband Jim Morrison of The Doors, this book is a great addition to any pagan library.
If your journey is just getting started in the craft, or your path is well traveled, these well known pagan leaders offer insight to their own lifestyle and spiritality, with common ground being an affinity with nature.
The photos that accompany the interviews are brillant, with sharpness and clarity. Note: the Horned God was VERY inviting.
Only drawback, would have like to have seen more pagan authors/leaders being interviewed.

It was an interesting read. I liked the insights into some of the more notable people in the craft.

This wonderful book is a collection of candid interviews with some of the biggest names in Wicca, including Doreen Valiente, Starhawk, Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, Judy Harrow, and Phyllis Curott. Writer and photographer Sally Griffyn reveals the vibrant diversity of Wicca with intimacy and a wealth of vivid photographs.

I find only one weakness in the book: the inclusion of an essay by a man who goes by the pseudonym Edmund. He claims to be a High Priest, a widely published and respected author and expert in the history of Paganism and Witchcraft for over 10 years. I question anyone who makes such claims from the broom closet. Additionally, he says that Wiccans can be atheists, which tells me he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.

Nevertheless, beginners will learn much from Wiccan Wisdomkeepers and more experienced practitioners can see all the different directions their practice can take. The lavish photographs are sure to inspire.
