When it comes to the Farrars...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

When it comes to the Farrars, this is one of their best books (or, ought I say, their best two books bound together.) I am normally quite dismissive of a few of their other works, but this does have much to give, even if one is not an Alexandrian, such as myself. One of the more common whingeing by some is that the book is "dated" and "not progressive" .

I value the so-called dates books as they act as historical texts. On this score, some fuss pot actually complained about Gardner's "Witchcraft Today". How does one know where s/he is going on such a vehicle when they don't know where it's been? As for being written decades prior to progressive and "wokism", I say, "Thank the Gods!" But, this material * was* progressive for its day. I suppose what it comes down to is that this was my era, therefore, the root of my appreciation and worldview.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

Overall a great book (actually 2 books in 1) covering the 8 Pagan/Wiccan Sabbats in great detail in the first part and everything else related to Wicca (astral projection, healing, ritual, sex, tools, invocations, etc...) in the second. My only gripe, and it's a small one considering the time at which this book was written, is their take on "homosexuality." This book goes out of its way to emphasis the masculine and feminine polarity that they believe is important for having a successful coven. Initially the authors state they are not going to comment on gay covens because they are not equipped to do so but then what do they do? They comment on gay covens! One of the authors states that it's OK to have an all female coven (such as the Dianic Tradition) even consisting of lesbians but an all male coven would be wrong. The author goes on to say that if men want to engage in Occult practices together they should do so in a manner likened to the Golden Dawn (rather than as a coven). A little hypocritical don't you think? The authors also mention they have "gay" friends that are witches but they would be uncomfortable working in "that kind of coven." Again, this was written in a time when homosexuality was by and large viewed in a less than positive light. The good news is, no one has a monopoly on Wicca, not Gerald Gardner, not Janet and Stewart Farrar and everyone is free to honor Nature and Deity in a way that makes sense to them. Wicca is about acceptance and everyone has something special to bring to the table. Let's celebrate our craft together for all the great things we have in common so that we can help make Wicca the strong religion and beacon of light it deserves to be! Thank you, Waning Moon

Fantastic Reference

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

Disclaimer: In this review, I will be using the word "witch" and its derivatives to refer to practitioners of Wicca. At no point do I intend for the word to refer to non-Wiccan witches of any variety.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with the title of this book. To claim otherwise--and to give the book a poor review for it--is both ignorant and unfair. There is more than one definition of the word "bible." Bible (n): 4. (lowercase) any book, reference work, periodical, etc., accepted as authoritative, informative, or reliable: "He regarded that particular bird book as the birdwatchers' bible." So, yes. Witches DO have bibles. I'd also consider Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book ( Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (Llewellyn's Practical Magick) ) to be a witches' bible.

Now, to get past the cover and into the contents of the book: Are the contents outdated? Absolutely. Are they worth knowing, anyway? Absolutely. Wicca is a living religion, and it has evolved beyond what was taught and practiced in its early years, even if those "early years" were only 60 or so years ago. For it to continue to grow and change, its practitioners must first know their own past. Aside from that, the book is a valuable reference. Sometimes you WANT a ritual to feel old-fashioned and extremely formal. Sometimes you want to do things strictly by-the-book. This book gives you the tools to do that.

Will I use any or all of the considerable material in this book? Probably not. However, I have the information available to me, in case I ever find myself needing it. I would recommend this book to any other student of Wicca for the same reason.

This is the BEST book on witches and ancient traditionsIMHO

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Been a witch since 10 for sure but never thought much about it til now. I'm studying it more closely to learn the traditions n pageantry that goes with it. I've always had really Kewl powers but just figured everyone has them and then I found out there r powers out there WAY stronger n more intense than mine so I want to grow n learn, become ONE with Nature, the Gaia, n all the living entities here on our magnificent planet, and all the new ones to be.

This book so far has everything n more. If I understand, the author runs a coven n his trials, tribulations, n suggestions r the Best. I did not expect to like the book. My "soul" freaked a bit at the black cover ... I prefer to stay away from the Dark Side, has no appeal for me... But I got good vibes from the intro page onward. Truth n honesty n an innocent portrayal of the origins of religion, Wicca, and the Green religions are what lay ahead when you read this time ... You should love it. I recommend it highly to anyone with open mind n the desire to get back to what religion REALLY felt like before it got absorbed by mainstream commercialized religion. Feel what it was like to be in close proximity to the Creator Him/Her self in a time when u could witness firsthand the results of your prayers, in real time. Delivery was perfectly on time, and even though it claimed to be used it looks brand new to me. Very pleased I am.
