About the Author
Although today many of us don't think about the power of words, sound, or touch, those who have gone before us knew that all these things carried an energy of their own, and to give that positive energy to another was a gift more precious than gold. Read the first page

I Love This Book,
By
This review is from: Solitary Witch: The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the New Generation (Paperback)
I'm a practicing teenage wiccan who got her start when given Teen Witch by Silver Ravenwolf. I have to say that 4 years and many books later Teen Witch has finally fallen to second place on my list of great additions to a witch's library, but only because Solitary Witch has taken first. This BOS is absolutely glorious. It's true that it's not the best resource for actual spells, but it's jam packed with other information. I mean, this book has background on EVERYTHING. It's wonderful for info on circle casting and rituals, astrology, auras, herbs, stones, elements, runes, healing, tarot, and so much more. I highly recommend you buy this. It's true that Silver does "dumb things down" but I have to say that I've been frustrated with other books when they didn't. I have never been frustrated by Silver's books. This is a perfect stepping stone if nothing else. Great for beginners. I think it's safe to say that you won't regret this purchase.

New age nonsense,
This review is from: Solitary Witch: The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the New Generation (Paperback)
I purchased this book to help study the foundations and history of the religion. I found it to be a mockary. I resented being talked down to and the inplication on almost everypage that all readers are between 13 and 16 years old. "...when your mother or father walks in and interupts your ritual..." "...your mom and dad may not understand..." "when your frustrated with your parents..." and it goes on. the book only lead readers to the understanding that the religion is a newage fix to all their emotional teenage struggles and that life and can simplified with spells. Witchcraft is not a get out of jail free card. It's a respect and a love for a way of life and a belief system that consists of more then just casting a spell to get a cute boy to ask you out. Do not purpetuate all the negitive views and misunderstandings that already exist by buying this book, and if you already own it, pray its not to late to return it.

If You've Read One, You've Read Them All...,

This review is from: Solitary Witch: The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the New Generation (Paperback)
Only this go around it's all on one book!I've had my issues with Silver RavenWolf in the past. One of my biggest complaints was her "Mama Silver" approach. That may be fine for the teenage witch market, but those of us who have been on the path for serveral years find it a bit annoying. In this particular volume, Silver manages to recap everything that she's written in the past few years (errors included) in a type of encyclopedia form. While some of the information is very detailed and well researched, other areas lack such attention. You can see here, yet again, Silver's marketing towards the teen witches in Spells she has included. I would also like to note that several of her spells are not Wiccan in format, they are more based on the Pow-Wow teachings. RavenWolf said it herself in the book's introduction: "How you use this book is entirely up to you. Feel free to skip over the parts that you already know, or read each section in alphabetical order - doesn't matter." ... "On the other hand, if you feel the information is too basic, I beg your indulgence - it isn't my desire to insult your intelligence, I'm simply trying to find a happy medium." I think overall she's done it.
