4.0 out of 5 stars Forced to buy my own copy! Oct 23 2002
By "roxx33"
Format:Paperback
After about 6 months of looking at this book at a friend's house, I finally have a copy of my own. My friend told me she didn't want any of MY ju-ju on her study book, which I could totally understand. It isn't the first great work from Elen Hawke, she also wrote "The Sacred Round," and another personal favorite I've recently discovered called "Praise to the Moon." (But that's ANOTHER review!) This book is full of great lessons, but at the same time is very comfortable. The writing makes it hard to put down, it has ritual descriptions that are full of texture. I enjoy her questions, such as "What would the Goddess look like to a rat or a snail, or a being from another galaxy? Is she separate from ourselves?" In the Circle has a chapter describing sacred land in England, you'll never find info like this from a travel agent. It makes me want to plan a month there, magical tools in hand and power of the earth at my feet. This is a great study book that even lends encouragement to those wondering why their magic doesn't always work well the first time. Elen suggests patience and persistence, and this book has knowledge that will benefit anyone practicing either alone or in a group.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book July 3 2002
By DarkRaven
Format:Paperback
This is a great and "unusual" book because the author actually has chapters on how she celebrates Sabbats and the Moons. She talks about how she and her coven of four (with her husband)
celebrate different seasons of the year. I think that was a very "spiritual" part of the book.

This is basically a "Wicca 101" book with the authors personal expiriances. A great book if you are feeling down and need some spirituality to make you smile.

Read it slowly and it will help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully crafted. May 19 2002
By Archanon
Format:Paperback
This is a book that really makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. The author gets very personal, talking about her coven of four that are her best friends. There are chapters for all eight sabbats, and Elen Hawke goes into detail about how she celebrates them with her coven. There is also a chapter on working with the quarter moons, the full moon, the new moon, and also a nice section on candle magick as well as knot magick. I loved this book, it was fun to read, and I recommend it to everyone!

Blessed Be!

Elen Hawke writes very well, and if this is supposed in persons who write books, is not always followed by writers of books on this subject. Read more
