Praise: "A masterwork by one of the great Elders of the Craft. Raymond Buckland has presented a treasure trove of Wiccan lore. It is a legacy that will provide magic, beauty, and wisdom to future generations of those who seek the ancient paths of the Old Religion."—Ed Fitch, author of Magical Rites from the Crystal Well "I read Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft with much pleasure. This book contains enough information and know-how for all approaches: the historical, the philosophical, and the pragmatic . . . quite entertaining, as much for the armchair enthusiast as for the practicing occultist."—Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon "Never in the history of the Craft has a single book educated as many people, spurred as many spiritual paths, or conjured as much personal possibility as Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft."—Dorothy Morrison, author of The Craft

Riley

I do not recommend this for new witches, people considering taking up witchcraft, practitioners with gender or culture sensitivities, researchers studying ancient religion or middle history, or writers looking for background/sensitivity material when writing modern witches.

I do recommend it for traditional (by which I mean 1950s-2000s) Wiccans looking to validate their beliefs, and confident, experienced practitioners curious about the Wiccan approach.
