Book Description
Green Witches are deeply connected to the Earth and the cosmic balance of light and dark. They welcome the wisdom of the light and the shadow sides of nature, the self, and the Divine to grow more whole in magic and spirit.
In Green Witchcraft II, hereditary Witch Ann Moura reveals how to develop a balanced practice by incorporating the powerful, dark aspects of the Goddess and the God. Guided meditations, spells, and rituals enable you to invoke the energy of the dark powers and achieve your goals through magical workings.
"The Green Craft is what I learned from my mother, and she from her mother." Read the first page

Balance- what a relief!,
By Asheris (Rochester, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green Witchcraft II (Paperback)
A friend suggested this to me some time ago after I complained about how "fluffy" or severely dianic so many books in this area sometimes seem to be. I can't thank them enough! Finally, a book that talks about _balance_. Light and dark, male and female; she reminds you that energy itself isn't one or the other, but neutral. It's what you do with it that matters. Moura has a proper yet conversational writing style, which lets you absorb and think about the information presented without stumbling through bad grammar and awkward language. Though I'm not too sure about the faery stuff, much of the rest of what she has to say really hit home for me. Her listing of the basic "laws" of witchcraft is simple, clear, and to the point- probably the best phrasing I've seen. She suggests ways of dealing with your fears via visualization and meditation; offers basic information about ogham, tarot, creating ritual, and obviously, working with both "light" and "dark". She keeps a balance of male and female, leaving this book pleasantly neutral. A useful book for those looking for "something more" as they wade through the books available about paganism, witchcraft in particular. At the top of my recommendations list, along with Cunningham's "Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner".

Someone's finally addressing this...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Green Witchcraft II (Paperback)
I loved this, not for the content (which was marvellous), but BECAUSE of it. Very few serious books have been written on the dark aspect of paganism because they don't want people to think of it as "black magic," and many (most) that have been written are trashy, focusing only on teenagers who want to [tick] their parents off. It's a side that needs to be explained that's not usually included in 101 books, or anywhere else. I was just glad to see it. The book itself is worth reading, whether you agree with her or not, for another perspective that I believe is widely ignored.

Mixed feelings,
By "jemkat" (Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green Witchcraft II (Paperback)
Please don't misunderstand me even though I only gave Green Witchcraft II three stars - I do think it is an OK book, and badly needed as well. What with all the "pink sugar witchie" books appearing on the market lately, it's just great that someone dares to write about "the shadow side". My problems with this book didn't arise from that. No; I just expected it to be _all_ about what the title says: "Balancing Light & Shadow", i.e. understanding the Dark as well as the Light in a more general Craft context. Instead, about a half of the book seems to be information on Moura's own Craft tradition. No doubt the book is useful as a whole to those following that specific path, but personally I found no actual use for half of it. The meditations are excellent, though!Moura is also guilty of a very common slip-up - making a mess of Finnish names, Deities and folk beliefs. There were never any Finnish Gods called "Hiesi" and "Tunni"... Oh, but if you feel like buying this book, don't be discouraged by my review. GWII _is_ still a book worth its price, especially for those who were really into the first part of the series.
