Praise:
"A masterwork by one of the great Elders of the Craft. Raymond Buckland has presented a treasure trove of Wiccan lore. It is a legacy that will provide magic, beauty, and wisdom to future generations of those who seek the ancient paths of the Old Religion."--Ed Fitch, author of Magical Rites from the Crystal Well
"I read Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraftwith much pleasure. This book contains enough information and know-how for all approaches: the historical, the philosophical, and the pragmatic...quite entertaining, as much for the armchair enthusiast as for the practicing occultist."--Marion Zimmer Bradley, author ofThe Mists of Avalon
"Never in the history of the Craft has a single book educated as many people, spurred as many spiritual paths, or conjured as much personal possibility as Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft."--Dorothy Morrison, author of The Craft

While Buckland's (Wicca for Life) standard reference work dates from the 1980s, the subject of witchcraft is of perennial interest to library patrons. Students of Wicca and other earth-based religions will find here examples of how to employ various rituals and spells throughout the seasons, as well as tips on divination, herbology, and creating spiritual settings. A definite selling point for the guide is narrator Gildart Jackson, whose learned Britspeak elevates the material. This work is informative and fills a niche. -verdict Recommended for larger libraries.-Kelly Sinclair, Temple P.L., TX (c) Copyright 2014.
