Wicca for Beginners, Volume 2: A Guide to Wiccan Beliefs, Rituals, Magic & Witchcraft by Lisa Chamberlain
informative
medium-paced
5.0
This book is titled perfectly. It truly is a guide for beginners looking to learn more about Wicca. There is comprehensive information given without being overwhelming to someone who is new to the topic of Wicca. Topics include but are not limited to: history of Wicca, deities, core beliefs and holidays, practical and ritual magic, use of an altar and tools.
Wicca for Beginners was very well-written and gave me a lot of great information. It had a solid introduction to a lot of the foundational knowledge needed for a beginner, but also acknowledged that there are many other sources from which you can find information, even if it doesn't necessarily match up with the author's information. She even went so far as to provide additional sources for continued research.
It was evident that a lot of care went into making sure both the information in this book and the materials that Chamberlain (author) suggests for the aspiring Wiccan are accessible to many types of individuals. For example, the lack of assumption on gender of the practitioner (typically assumed female in witchcraft) also makes this book friendly to all readers. Additionally, the author tries to offer alternatives to obtaining materials rather than just assuming the reader could afford to buy everything mentioned in the book.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a beginners guide to Wicca. I will definitely be referencing this book as I move forward in my knowledge and practice of Wicca, and I plan to read more books by this author.
