A really extensive guide to witchcraft for beginners, however, there are lots of typos which become somewhat distracting

I read this book because I thought, based on the title, that it was going to do what it said on the cover, give me a beginners guide to witchcraft. Although it was interesting to learn about the Wiccan religion and beliefs, as well as learn the different basic meditations to practice alongside those that I already do, I still didn't feel as though it was a true overview of witchcraft. Mainly it was just a guide to Wicca, and if you didn't know already, Wicca frowns upon just anyone performing witchcraft, and the book points this out constantly throughout until it becomes a little tiresome. Really, if you don't want just anyone to know about it, don't write a book and publish it.

It gets two stars because when I felt I wasn't being talked down to or told it wasn't for me because I'm not in a coven or have been for 20 years, the information and history was quite interesting.

When I bought Witchcraft – A Beginners Guide to Witchcraft I thought it would have been a fantasy YA novella. I was wrong. It is a practical guide on how to study and follow Wicca. Whilst it was all very interesting, it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I bought it.

It is a great practical guide for anyone considering following Pagan religion and rituals.

Witchcraft – A Beginners Guide to Witchcraft by Sophie Cornish is available now.

Not helpful for rituals spells and practices

This is a good book to get an overview of the philosophy of Wicca. It gives the back story to how Wicca has developed, and insight into rituals, mainly drawing your circle correctly. A new witch wishing to learn actual practices or spells will be disappointed.

Great overview

Despite the spelling and grammatical errors which were minor and I d not distract too much from the book, Witchcraft was a wonderful overview of Wicca for any beginner.

Full of very technical, practical information. Lots of charts and diagrams, which are helpful. But I wouldn’t say that this book is very “inviting” it reads as cold and exclusionary, but that does not disregard the actual information presented. Also, this is clearly a self published work and there are many, many typos that at times made it hard to understand what I was even reading (like numbers in the middle of words, etc). A copy editor was severely needed here.

This was a really great intro to Wicca and Witchcraft-a perfect October read. My only major criticism was the amount of editorial errors that I had to swallow...it was also my first “Kindle-read;” which was just ok. I definitely still prefer my paper copies.

Some interesting theories and initiations into the intriguing philosophies of witchcraft. Very easy to read and one to refer back to - only let down by the copious spelling and grammar mistakes throughout
