Timothy Roderick is a native southern Californian who lives in Los Angeles. Timothy has written five nonfiction titles including the COVR finalist Wicca: A Year and a Day (Llewellyn Publications, 2005), and Small Press Award Winner Dark Moon Mysteries (Llewellyn Publications, 1996), which was also a Time-Warner Book of the Month Club selection. He has also been featured in The Witches' Calendar, Llewellyn's Magical Almanac, The Encyclopedia of Wicca and Witchcraft (Llewellyn, 2000), and A Witch Like Me (New Page Books, 2001). Timothy's fictional works have received critical acclaim and a broad readership. His works include the folk horror novel Cornbones (2024), the paranormal/psychological thriller Nine Zero One Three (2023), the psychological thriller One Crooked Thing (2020), and the young adult fantasy, Briar Blackwood’s Grimmest of Fairytales (Lodestone, 2015).
Wicca: Another Year and a Day by Timothy Roderick is a thoughtful, immersive guide for those ready to deepen their practice and walk further along the path of the Craft. As a continuation of his earlier work, Roderick offers a carefully structured 366-day program that encourages not just study, but lived experience of Wiccan spirituality.
What makes this guide compelling is its balance of tradition and accessibility. Each day provides a practical step, meditation, or exercise that helps readers internalize the philosophy and techniques of the Old Ways while steadily advancing toward greater mastery. From refining magical skills to cultivating deeper spiritual awareness, this book becomes both mentor and companion, inviting practitioners to embrace the discipline and beauty of Wicca as an evolving journey rather than a destination.
Rich with insight yet grounded in daily practice, Wicca: Another Year and a Day is more than a manual it’s a roadmap for transformation through the Craft.
I mean, what can you say? It's your typical Neo-Wiccan material. Nothing special. Nothing unique; might be some stuff in here worth using to formulate your own year and a day if you're not Neo-Wiccan... But unless you're explicitly looking for Neo-Wiccan practices (especially as a newbie), it's just the same bland stuff as always.
