3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not what it seems, September 27, 1998
This review is from: Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed (Paperback)
I bought this book because of Doreen Valiente's supposed authorship, and was unpleasantly surprised to find that she wrote the introduction only--not the book. That little deception aside, Evan Jones writes a very interesting account of a little-known tradition of witchcraft, but it sounds suspiciously like the 18th Century Occult Revival, and not the ancient tradition he implies. The book is certainly an interesting version of English Craft practice, and a good account of the late occultist Robert Cochrane, but you may not care for the bait-and-switch technique of crediting Doreen Valiente as the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic and very interesting, December 2, 1999
This review is from: Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed (Paperback)
WOW this book is good. Although more aimed for coven witchcraft rather than hedge witchraft, it is still nevertheless a good read and gives lots of interesting viewpoints and insights into the older craft and not the more commercialised wicca.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Piece of the Puzzle, April 2, 2001
By 
Elderbear (Loma Linda, Aztlan) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed (Paperback)
Lots of garbage masquerades as "traditional" witchcraft. Much of the quality material can be traced back to Gardnerian roots. This book is a rare gem--a reliable and modern source for non-Gardnerian British Craft material. Doreen Valiente, an important figure in Wicca, wrote with Evan Jones about the practice of the Craft after Robert Cochrane's style.

While this book does not hold many "spell recipes" or "ritual scripts," it provides enough information to "produce" rituals in this style & to organize a coven. This begs the question, however, of whether or not the Craft may be handed down through books or not.

The Goddess knows Her own, and to Herself She will call them. Within these pages lie material that may be of great use to those so called. Five stars for laying out a tradition rarely written about and making it available to those called to "tradition," but not to the "Gardnerian" way of doing things.
