5.0 out of 5 stars
Money well spent, December 2, 1999
This review is from: Witchcraft (Headway Guides for Beginners) (Paperback)
I used this book when I started out in the world of witchcraft, and it has been a wonderful help to me ever since. The author is reader-friendly and gives a warm and enthusiastic approach to the subject. This is the kind of book that one can read again and again.

Excellent for beginners!, May 16, 2000
This review is from: Witchcraft (Headway Guides for Beginners) (Paperback)
I was given this book by a friend. I found it to be the most helpful of all books in my library when it came to introducing initiates to Wicca. I have made this book a preliminary requirement before I begin teaching anything because of it's easy reading style and brief tactfulness. It covers many of the basics of the craft and is excellent for beginners. I wish I had come across it sooner in my journeys.

Practical and sensible guide, March 11, 2003
This review is from: Witchcraft (Headway Guides for Beginners) (Paperback)
Faced, today, with such a proliferation of books promising to Impart The Secrets Of The Craft, choosing who to listen to can be daunting, even impossible. Yet the aspiring Witch is unlikely to have a seasoned practitioner in easy reach from whom to seek advice; most of us have little option but to rely on books, at least to begin with.
In light of this, you can do a great deal worse than pick up a copy of Moorey's book, if you can find it. This remains one of the best short introductions to Witchcraft (and, to an extent, to many of the concepts of modern Paganism, too) out there: clearly-written, non-nonsense, filled with practical advice on how to celebrate and live your beliefs - rather than sitting around with a pentagram and a few joss sticks, feeling faintly cheated. For the poetically-challenged of us, there are also nicely-expressed suggested verses for sabbats and esbats.
At every stage it is practical, helpful, and (hurrah!) largely non-fluffy. Recommended.
