5.0 out of 5 stars The other point of veiw, June 25, 2001

By A Customer

For a solitary Witch like me, I found this book a very interesting and clear descripion of the coven tradition. I read it because I wanted to know what a coven was like, and now I have a much better understanding of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Farrar rehash, but better than most books out now, December 9, 2000

By A Customer

This book is basically a rehash/rewriting of the material in Farrar's Witch's Bible. It really only contains ritual material and very little theory. This isn't a great book but it is better than the Llewellyn insty-witch materials flooding the market these days.
