About the author

Raymond Buckland was a highly influential figure in the development of modern Wicca and the occult in the United States. Born in London, he became interested in the supernatural at an early age and was initiated into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition in 1963 by Monique Wilson, a high priestess appointed by Gerald Gardner. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Buckland introduced Gardnerian Wicca to the country, founding its first coven in New York in 1964. He later developed his own tradition, Seax-Wica, inspired by Anglo-Saxon paganism, and published The Tree: Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft to make it accessible to all.
In 1968, he established the first Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the U.S., which helped normalize and educate the public about Wicca. Over the course of his career, Buckland wrote more than sixty books on Wicca, divination, and the occult, including Witchcraft from the Inside and Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, both regarded as essential texts in Neopaganism.
Throughout his life, Buckland remained a prolific teacher, writer, and practitioner. He continued to write and teach until his death in 2017, leaving behind a lasting legacy that shaped the spiritual practices of countless Wiccans and Pagans worldwide.

Reviews

Let's just say that it's an interesting book. While I have read reviews on forums and such that no matter how wacky it sounds, it does work; I haven't tried any of the chants yet. What I found really interesting about the book though was the testimonials written in.
As a marketer, you read about testimonials time and time again, and you do use them in moderation to show social proof. You also see a lot of coaches use testimonials on their websites, and social channels. But the sheer percentage of testimonials and success stories in this book is crazy! Fun to read and observe how testimonials worked in 1978, nonetheless.

Pretty basic info if you've read a lot of these types of books, but the information was presented in a simple and tidy manner. Now, on to chanting for greener pastures.
