4.0 out of 5 stars This is THE book, Mar 4 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Wicca Covens (Paperback)

Harrow's book, together with Isaac Bonewit's Cult Danger Evaluation Form <www.neopagan.net/ABCDEF.html> helped me shape my incredibly difficult decision to leave my disfunctional coven.

Harrow gives us an excellent overview of what a coven member should expect in terms of ethics, and well-functioning group dynamics. It should be mandatory reading for every HP and HPS, and equally so for every wannabe.

If things aren't working for you in your Pagan circle or coven, read this book, and you can find tools to help it run better. Or to raise your consciousness about when it's time to hit the road.

You won't find practical magic or spells in this book. But you will find a well thought-out analysis of what makes Pagan groups work well together.

This review is from: Wicca Covens (Paperback)

There are a couple of good books on the market that deal with Wicca Covens, and in my opinion there are not enough.
While a lot of Covens cover within their own group their own rules and such regarding how their covens are structured and formed, those outside the coven structure are sadly lacking in the necessary teaching, information and skills needed to undertake such a project.
Judy Harrow presents here an in depth book dealing with the formation, principles and workings of a Coven. From starting a coven to dealing with individuals within the Coven group to deciding when to meet or how to perform ritual together, it is all discussed in a grown up manner with a common sense approach to the problems and day to day workings.
There are way too many people out there who are calling their group a "Coven" only to have someone realize they are nothing more than a working group. And there are those out there who really do want to create a working coven, and need a guide to help them put it all together. Many people do not know what a real coven should look and feel like. This book can help clarify a lot of these questions.
No one book will contain all the answers or have everything you need to be completely assured of a successful coven. But this book covers much ground in the practical approach to forming a Coven. If you are taking the first steps, or think you have a coven and are not sure, or looking for experiences from someone who has been in a coven, this book can certainly help you out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Salvation for any Witch., Feb 25 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wicca Covens (Paperback)

If you thought Scott Cunningham had his feet planted well on terra firma, watch out for Judy Harrow, hie female counterpart in the literary world of the Craft. Her pragmatism and leadership skills are staggering, and her anecdotes of personal experience invaluable. If there's considerations left out for anything, you'd never know it until you ran a coven yourself. But even if you are a solitary practitioner, this book can wisen you to all the methods of evaluating a coven to see if it's the right one for you.
