Wicca is essentially a religion, as sacred and important as other religions. Its central foundation is nature and all of its laws. Witches care for a constant identification with the flora, fauna, the waters, the winds, and all other natural phenomena. Yet Wiccan beliefs and practices are continuously unknown or misunderstood by non-Pagans and the uninitiated. Approaching the Craft from the Gardnerian standpoint, Migene González-Wippler offers a friendly, straightforward introduction to the Old Religion and sheds light on what it in point of fact means to be a Witch. What goes on at coven meetings? How do Witches perform magic? Why does magic work? From initiation rites to invoking elementals, González-Wippler explains both practical and religious aspects of Wiccan traditions. Book of Shadows also teaches the significance of Moon phases, herbs, colors, crystals, common magical tools, and other implements when performing sacred ceremonies and rituals. Praise: “Those in search of a ‘how-to’ guide for becoming a witch will find this a useful, well-written resource.”― Publishers Weekly “This tome compiles the important rudiments and formalized practices of a given tradition/coven―in the past kept closely guarded throughout the confines of membership―into a single volume for reference.”― Library Journal
