I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped me gain a lot of knowledge & I now know more things about wicca & gods. I really recommend it.

As someone who is interested in finding my own place in the spiritual world, it was worth a read to find out where I belonged and how I can combine by catholic upbringing with my connection to nature and the world around me. This book was informative with history, options, more information, and the typical spells one would imagine they would find in a book on Wiccan ways. It makes me want to research more in hopes that I one day find my divinity.

So I picked uo this book because I was tired of reading occult books that were overly mysterious and impossible to understand, and I figured if it was aimed at teens it'd have to be lower resding level, basic, watered down stuff.
I got what I expected, in that regard. I also got what I should have expected and didn't: spells aimed at all those teenage problems that kinda stop being problems after high school. I don't want to call the spells shallow, but they're intended for an audience I don't fall into.
What I did like was how simple and straightforward the spells were. Quite a few spells were basically just 'ok light this candle and say these words,' and that was it. No athame, no calling down four different dieties and drawing pentagrams on the bedroom floor and only being allowed to move in one direction and blah blah, blah blah, blah blah. It was so much more down to earth.
I'd recommend it for teens wanting to explore Wicca, but not to curious adults. It doesn't realy apply to adulthood.

This was the first book I read about Wicca and Witchcraft. It was definitely a nice start and taught my clueless brain all I needed to get started, but it's not everything.
It did give me some historical information, some starter spells, and a couple good lists of things like supplies and historical witches, but still, not enough...maybe that was the point, but that doesn't make that feeling any different.
It left holes in my brain where information on the topics she touched on should have been, and kinda dove right into spells (it is called the Teen Spell book though) when it probably should have at least suggested a good book to read before getting into this one, so that you know what you're doing, but besides that it was good, very good, as a starters guide.

I remember buying this and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
But then I actually started to study Wicca.
Only one spell in here has served me any purpose so far, but I keep it on the shelf for display, anyway.
