Summary: A Great Book for Beginners!
Review: This is the first book I read when I became interested in the Wiccan religion, and it was so good that it inspired me to read as much as possible about the topic. It's very informative, but doesn't give you so much information that you get confused about everything. If you're just starting out and just want a basic starting point, this is one of the books to read.

Summary: Exploring Wicca
Review: When I saw this on the shelf the first time, I must admit that I rolled my eyes. I thought, "Just what the community needs, an Idiot's Guide to religion."I was sorely mistaken. This book was much more than meets the eye. I find myself recommending this to friends who are just starting out as often as I do books such as "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham. This book starts the reader at the very beginning and presents the information in one of the most easy to understand formats I've found in a long time. The authors will take you on a journey through various facets of Wicca such as history, deities, magickal jargon, the basics of ritual as well as subjects like dream interpretation. What I really loved about this book was the authors ability to take complex ideas and theology and break it down piece by piece for people who haven't been praciticing for years. However, there are some omissions as well. The so called "darker" side of the Craft is not discussed. Some of the activities of covens (such as bindings, secret initiations) and such were not discussed and I feel that everyone needs to know these things before jumping right in. This tended to be a more of a "why" you would practice book rather than a comprehensive of "how" you practice. The ethics section left much to be desired in my opinion as well. But overall I was very impressed with this book. I would definately recommend this book to someone who wants a very general and basic overview of the facets of Wicca. I would suggest this as a starting point to finding out where your interests are beyond the basics. It's also a great refresher in the basics for those of us who get a little forgetful from time to time.
