5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for the solitary witch.,
By Robin M Goffinet (Richmond, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Paperback)
This is a great book! It focuses more the religion of the wiccan way of life than spells and formulas. "Wicca" was about the craft and "Living Wicca" focuses more on the religion. This book is a must have on my magickal bookshelf.

Fantastic Book,
By Katsurina (NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Paperback)
This book truly makes wicca understandable for the solitary practitioner.In the first section of the book, Cunningham discusses many common perceptions of Wicca, as well as addresses some of the more commom criticisms of the book's predecessor: Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner. He makes it clear that he is not against group innitiation, simply that it is not necessary, and his suggestions for self-innitiation were designed for those who do not have the luxury of a teacher and coven to join. His references to "what feels right" are in regards to designing rituals and such details as wearing a robe, or going skyclad. He also discusses other practical matters like unprepared rituals, being too sick to perform a ritual, and what level or secrecy you should have about your practices. The second section is mainly how to pray to the god and goddess, and some information on rites and magic. In the 3rd section cunningham has outlined how to go about beginning your own tradition (something common for a solitary to do, by choice if not necessity) without losing sight of what wicca is. In the section on tools he stats that "If you created a tradition that never utilized any of these tools, it probably wouldn't be Wiccan." (p106) So it's very clear that he is mindful of what wicca is, and makes sure to be clear about how much originality is allowed before it stops being wicca. It even has advice on teaching and questions you should ask yourself before agreeing to teach someone. This book is very straight-forward about what wicca is and how to make wicca truly a part of your life, even without a coven. Coven members might find this an interesting read, with a few good ideas for covens to use, but the book is very clear that it is teaching those that have no teacher.

Better than "Wicca",
By Kelly Linde (CNY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Paperback)
Much has been said, so I'll keep it short. This secondary work to Wicca, a guide for the solitary practitioner is, in many ways, a better book than that first one. The book covers the MUCH NEEDED theology and beliefs of Wicca, and while a little goddess heavy, is focused much more on Wicca as a life decision than as the way to turn your boyfriend into a frog. It is, as the title suggests, living, breathing Wicca, the real stuff.
