If you want to learn Witchcraft and/or Magick this is Not the book, I don't no if she every practice a day of Witchcraft or Magick a day in her life! But she claims she has.
I've read a few other books regarding Wicca and the Wiccan religion known also as Witchcraft. This book was recommended by a friend and I found it to be a wonderful read.
This book was the best book I've found that great for beginnings. Simple but not too simple.
I bought this book several years ago, when it was still fairly new, about 2002 or so. It's a really good read.
I knew almost nothing about Wicca, witches, and the practice of witchcraft, so when I came across The Real Witches' Handbook it seemed like a good place to start research on this intriguing subject. Author Kate West (a High Priestess with over thirty years of Craft experience) does a great job of discussing the myths and reality of witchcraft, plus the Eight Sabbats.
