Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The most comprehensive and revealing work on the practices, rituals and beliefs of modern witchcraft since Gerald Gardner's influential but unpublished 'Book of Shadows' triggered the revival movement in the 1950s. The authors explain what Gardner's text actually was, how he used it, and, as far as possible, what his sources were. The book goes on to give in full the first, second and third degree initiation rites, the consecration rites, and the many non-ritual passages of the 'Book of Shadows'. The rest of the book explains what the Craft is all about, covering everything from the rationale of witchcraft to reincarnation; from ethics to sex; from symbolism to spells; from astral projection to psychic healing; from clairvoyance to witchcraft's place in today's world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The More Traditional Side of Wicca Revealed, April 3, 2000
This review is from: The Witches' Way: Principles, Rituals and Beliefs of Modern Witchcraft (Hardcover)
What a wonderful source of information! Janet and Stewart Farrar detail rituals, beliefs, including views on reincarnation, tools and religious myths of the two major traditions of modern Wicca, specifically Alexandrian and Gardnerian. The rituals and beliefs of these traditions have been guarded throughout the years, consequently, it's wonderful having all this great material all in one cover. They even detail the history of the Gardnerian Book of Shadows and point out the changes it underwent throughout the years. The initiation rituals are all included here - 1st degree through 3rd. There is even a self-dedication ritual for those who have not been able to find a teacher, do not belong to a coven, and want to began practicing wicca. This book has undoubtedly taken its stand among the greats of this genre. This couple has done much to increase the understanding of the science and religion of witchcraft. This book belongs in your personal library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but...., August 17, 2001
By GUILLERMO SAN ROMAN GARCIA (Queretaro, Queretaro Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Witches' Way: Principles, Rituals and Beliefs of Modern Witchcraft (Hardcover)
The book is fine, very informative but it you buy the "Witches Bible" also written by the Farrars you can get "The Witches Way" and "Eight Sabbats" all in one book!
