liked it

this was a solid beginner book on wicca. I was surprised at how much I knew already so this really is an overview on the basic foundations of the practice. but man people were not kidding when they say cunningham is not a wordsmith. when I’m picking up a resource book I’m not exactly looking for prose but this was very dry to read.

I also can definitively say wicca is not the religion for me due to how 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 it is. I’m sure many wiccans have adapted the beliefs to fit their own view of gender but dividing all of nature into either The God or Goddess doesn’t fit with me personally. but I’m happy I read this since it’s such a staple resource for practitioners. maybe his other books will be more helpful for me.

I agree with you! I liked his “techniques for natural magick� books better, as they focus more on the witchcraft side of things and less on the Wicca aspects (from what I recall, anyway).
