Venus’s Reviews > Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner > Status Update

Once you get to the Book of Shadows, the tone of the book changes. The BOS half of the book seems more preachy and firm than the first half, which has a more more open, welcoming tone and spirit. So if you do not believe in the “Law of Three” or if you are not a traditional Wiccan following a strict “harm to none” practice, you will have some issues with the second half.

I like it so far! I thought I might not enjoy it since it’s Wicca-focused, but I actually like it a lot. Cunningham’s view of Wicca is more fluid than I expected and it’s a good refresher of witchcraft basics.

I enjoyed Cunningham’s herbalism books and found a used copy of this one. I’m glad I picked it up.
