Le Livre De La Wicca: Faites Entrer L'amour, La Guérison Et L'harmonie Dans Votre Vie Avec Le Pouvoir De La Magie
La Wicca - l'ancienne sorcellerie - est devenue très à le mode ces dernières années, car beaucoup de gens cherchent une nouvelle voie spirituelle pour leur voyage à travers la vie. La spiritualité de la Wicca est fondée sur le monde naturel : elle consiste dans le culte des déités européennes pré-chrétiennes, ainsi que dans la célébration des cycles et des rythmes et de la nature. Le dessein de la Wicca est de mettre l'individu en harmonie avec la nature par des moyens sacrés, psychiques et magiques. Sous cette forme simple, non dogmatique, la Wicca est devenue la réponse à la question centrale des milliers d'hommes et de femmes qui cherchent une nouvelle voie à l'écart de la religion orthodoxe. Ce livre explique tous les aspects de la Wicca, y compris l'utilisation des instruments magiques : épée, charrie, pentacle, encensoir, tracé d'un cercle magique... Il contient aussi beaucoup d'idées pour célébrer les fêtes saisonnières de la Wicca ainsi que quelques charmes plus simples : cierges pour attirer l'amour, poupées magiques... Magnifiquement illustré, Le Livre de la Wicca est l'introduction idéale à la bienveillante magie de la Sorcellerie Wiccaine.

Es un libro más bien introductorio. Da pinceladas muy amplias, generales, de lo que es la Wicca: iniciación, métodos de desarrollo de la mente "mágica", festividades, herramientas. Es interesante para familiarizarte con la terminología.
Tiene interesantes capítulos (círculo mágico, por ejemplo) pero realmente, hay unas indicaciones muy buenas y muy prácticas para la consagración de objetos, elaboración de incienso, crear tu propia túnica, entre otras.
Me gusta muchísimo el apartado de correspondencias. Viene todo perfectamente ordenado y claro.
Resumen: Para tirar del hilo de la wicca, no es un mal libro. En la bibliografía están todos los grandes del neo-paganismo, los cuales, todo aquel que se inicie debe tener o haber leído: Gardner, Cunningham, Buckland o Valiente.

With this book, Lucy Summers attempts to provide her reader with an extensive guide to the basics, history, beliefs, and instruments of the Wicca religion. The Book of Wicca contains nine chapters total, which include: (1) an introduction with a FAQ-section, (2) the principles of Wicca, (3) Wiccan instruments, (4) circle casting, (5) festivities and rites of passage, (6) spells, (7) a glossary, (8) index, and (9) recommended literature for further reading on the subject.
I have to admit that Summers does succeed in giving a somewhat solid introduction to the Wicca religion, but it really is for absolute beginners who know nothing of this nature religion, made evident by some of the questions and answers in the FAQ-section of the introduction (such as questions about worshipping the devil, dancing naked in circles, etc.). It provides those interested in Wicca with a nice framework of what the religion is, and what things are an important part of it. However, it is by no means extensive.
Summers seems to focus mostly on the outward aspects of the Wicca religion, giving much attention to spells, rituals, making an altar in one’s home, initiating instruments to be used magickally, etc. There’s little about the actual background philosophies and beliefs of Wiccans, which is usually only mentioned in passing and has usually something to do with a vague, unexplained concept of ‘nature is important’. The god and the goddess are briefly covered on a separate page in the FAQ-section, but that’s about it.
The Book of Wicca is not a bad book; it’s just not as extensive as it claims to be on the back cover. It looks quite appealing, and has a lovingly designed lay-out with plenty of illustrations and photographs that are all of high quality, and it does provide the reader with some basics on Wicca. However, this book should probably only be presented to an absolute layman’s audience, so to speak. Then it can be a wonderful introduction – I know it was to me when I read it when I was fifteen years old.
In conclusion, a pretty book that provides its reader with the absolute basics on Wicca religion, but does so in a sophisticated manner, accompanied by lovely illustrations and pictures. If it’s your first time looking into Wicca, or if you still consider yourself to be a true beginner, then this could be a book for you.

Duidelijk boek met veel plaatjes van rituelen en tools. Goed voor beginners, maar gaat niet echt diep in op eigen energie, shadow work of andere eclectische onderwerpen die (naar mijn mening) bij hekserij horen.

Heel basic dus dit was voor mij ideaal daar ik het wou lezen uit nieuwsgierigheid naar dit onderwerp.
De tekst is heel duidelijk geschreven en wordt ondersteund met mooie afbeeldingen.
