This is an older book a friend gifted to me. It is different from many books about Wicca.
One difference is the blend of Wiccan and Christian ways in this tradition. The author insists this is not always the case (such as in the chapter detailing the group's home chapel) but in other chapters, the author acknowledges this blend. The section on Co-creation Ceremonies and Practices is a case in point. While she says individuals are free to work with their own deities, the tradition follows a ten holiday system, rather than eight. The two 'extras' are the masses for the Eucharist and the Feast of the Blessed Virgin.
This book also focuses on some different tools as well. The Paten, Vessel of Creation, Rod of Authority and Aspergillum are some examples.
I found several interesting ideas in this book. The are quite a few meditations in this book, as well as outlines of several other paths; deities, rituals and instructions on how to make various tools mentioned in the text.
It is an excellent text showing how it is possible to blend paths and make your path truly your own.
