The Elements of Ritual: Air, Fire, Water & Earth in the Wiccan Circle by Deborah Lipp

4.0

Lipp did a great job of analyzing each element of ritual thoroughly in this book. She makes sure to include options for adaptations, including noting ways to adapt a group ritual to a solitary witch, which as a primarily solitary practitioner, I appreciated greatly. I didn’t fully agree with every line of this book through my personal experience, but as stated in the beginning of this, Wicca is a subjective religion. Everyone honors it differently, and very few of the ways to honor it are intrinsically wrong. I thought The Elements of Ritual was very well written and a strong guide to ritual for anyone knew to leading them. Docked one star for my personal qualms with certain approaches, but this is one of the best religious texts I have read.
