Wicca: Um Estilo de Vida, Religião e Arte by Raymond Buckland

4.0

This was the first time reading a work of Buckland and I actually liked his way of writing, it's very simple and accessible. The book itself is useful for those beginning and it shows an interesting way of work, more connected to traditional Wicca in covens (opposed to, for example, Scott Cunningham's books). This is a good book to whoever is starting in this path, I did find a bit annoying, in this specific translation, that Witchcraft is always synonym of Wicca, even though there are others paths within Witchcraft that aren't Wicca. I don't know if it was due to the translation or if it is something the author does since he is an elder member of Wicca and back then there really wasn't this distinction, but just though I would note it.
Overall the book is pretty good and I would recommended it, it has lots of resources and information, some you won't even usually find in regular beginners books such as explanations to Sex Magic, Sigils, Inactions, etc. Very interesting to see this content explained so simply and clear.
