Simple Wicca

by Michele Morgan

Wicca is based on spiritual practices that honor the earth, nature, and the balance of male and female energies. Contrary to popular belief, this complex religion has nothing to do with black magic and everything to do with ancient wisdom, herbal healing, energy management, and becoming part of a nurturing community. In Simple Wicca, practitioner Michele Morgan dispels the many myths that surround this centuries-old tradition, explains its main tenets, and offers interested readers the basics of how to begin to practice. While other books have been written on Wicca, none are as straightforward and easy to follow. Simple Wicca offers not only practical guidance in the craft, but also an emotional and spiritual understanding of the practice.

Enlightening look at Wicca. I found it interesting that you can actually be a Christian/Muslim/whatever and Wicca at the same time based on their definition and practices. This book had a lot of information even though it wasn’t very long! I would say it’s more of a beginner’s guide than just informative non-fiction because it does tell you how to practice/find your way to practice Wicca.

Beautiful and simple little book. Would help anyone starting out with Wicca or anyone who has a need to better understand it.

[Pyrawen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely simple. A nice overview. Though I already had an awareness of much of what it covered, it has been several years since I have given any thought or research to witchcraft. So it worked well as a refresher. But you will not find much in-depth information here. That is not its function. It's good for what it is: a general introduction to a Wiccan flavor of witchcraft.

Though I study to be a witch, I am an atheist, not Wiccan, so I personally could not use the examples of spells and rituals as written, but they are still a good jumping off point, and would work well for one who does ascribe to the Wiccan god and goddess.

I feel like I connected with this book on another level. I got chills multiple times while reading it. I'm excited to have it as a tool while I look more into this wonderful journey. I feel as though it was a very good introduction into Wicca, for anyone who is interested in joining the craft or who is just looking to gain more information on the subject.

For such a small book it packed it a lot of information!

So far this is my favorite Wicca book that I've read so far... I know I'll come back to it again and again.

Oh how I love this little book, some of the rituals and things I still use, and will continue to use over the coming years. It's been helpful and informative, if you read it enjoy it. It goes on my 'to be forever read' list.

Simply beautiful

This book has wiccan basics, practical advice, and kind wisdom written in simple, elegant form. It is filled with hope and light. It's definitely a book I'll refer to over again as I transform my life.

I reread of numerous times.

When I forget what matters and what works for me. I pull this out to remind myself, reading chapter by chapter over a few Sundays.

Also, a very easy to read and understand fundamentals of Wicca if you're ever interested.

Very informative of the practice, and a great resource for all Witches, both new and old. I do find the book to be a bit dated as far as some simple practices covered, especially with how Witchcraft has evolved, but it is still an interesting read that I will cherish.

Simple Wicca, by Michele Morgan is a book that dispels many myths and gives great insight to the old religion of Wicca. Morgan explains how Wiccans practice in our times and does an excellent job explaining the basics of this nature based religion. This book is an easy read and enjoyable, it even teaches some simple spells and such things like the power of breath. I recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about witches, what is true and what is totally outrageous. If you always thought that witches are evil, they ride brooms and offer poisoned apples to beautiful princesses, then you must read this book to learn that none of those things are true. Here is an example: Silver signifies the Goddess, communication, intuition, dreams, astral travel and feminine power. Gold means wealth, winning, happiness, playfulness and the masculine power. Color magic is one of the simplest yet most effective methods to work with. If you feel tired, wear red. It will kick start your first chakra and infuse you with energy. Are you feeling shy and suffering from low self- confidence, then wear yellow. If you would like to learn more, then pick up Simple Wicca and devour it. it is full of tips that you can use in your everyday life, even if you are not a witch.

Purchased years ago when I had just started experimenting with my spiritual path, this is still a classic in my book. An easy to read, beautifully written introduction to the Craft of the Wise, Michele Morgan is sure to draw the curious into the magical world of Wicca without intimidation or information overload.

It was extremely helpful, I now know what I need to do, that fact that I don't have to have a wand to draw the circle or draw the circle with chalk on the floor (my mom would kill me). Along with several other books I have that are going to be read I will really know what I'm doing so things don't blow up in my face.

I've always been curious about Wicca. I've had this book for a couple of years and finally got around to reading it. Very easy to understand, that's the best part. After many years of exploring my spiritual path I think this is the most "user friendly" book I've read in a while.

This was an ok book.

[Kathleen Burket · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read, chocked full of information, lots of detail for the casual reader or novice Wiccan.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice overview with some good information for anyone interested in Wicca.

[Lindsey Mccomb]

i'd like to find a way to read it online.. thats for sure:)

[Patricia Woodruff · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good summary for any beginner looking into Wicca. Beginner basic.

[Courtney Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

To call it an over-simplified description of Wicca would be missing the point of why it was published. I would recommend this for anyone who needs a Cliff's Notes primer on the subject but would prefer not to use Google. I ended up skimming a lot of chapters due to the simplicity of the information. The author's personal prosaic descriptions add aesthetic, but also underpin a Euro/North centricity which may be historically contextual, but fails to reconcile the globalization of the modern era.
