Summary: Great for beginners
Review: This is a great book for all those beginners out there. We see more and more people getting interested in Wicca, and the teachers aren't nearly as many as there should be. So, the best way until a newbie finds a teacher is to read great books, and this is surely one of those.

Review: Scott Cunningham's book is practical and informative. A must read for anyone who is interested in Wicca, this book covers all the basics in Wicca today. Scott Cunningham guides, rather than preaches, solitary practice in a way that will reach anyone who is searching.

Summary: If your planning on being a solitary wiccan buy this book.
Review: Many of the techniques in this book can be used by a wiccan at any level. It is a extremely useful foundation builder, and is great source of information on wicca.

Summary: Excellent for the novice.
Review: This book gave not only excellent drawings of the "tools" used in Wiccan Practice to aid in visulization of the equipment, but further increased my study of the Wiccan belief. Cunningham, in understandable English, not mystical jargon, did not try to "show off" or impose his knowledge of the tradition onto the novice--and I admire that. He gave detailed instructions on the set-up of an altar, ritual, spell and so on. I recommend this book if you have curiostiy about the Wiccan tradition. Cunningham is quite thorough in description of the belief, the holidays, the titles of the goddess and god and many more interesting topics.

Summary: Good general sourcebook for solitary Wiccans
Review:
I'll admit, this was a good book to have when I was just starting out. Like Silver Ravenwolf's "To Ride a Silver Broomstick", it presents a broad overview of what Wicca is about, and is specially geared toward solitary practice. With the growing numbers of solitaries and plain ol' curiosity seekers springing up all over the U.S. these days, a beginning sourcebook is a definite plus.However, some of my criticisms of "Broomstick" hold here as well. Cunningham's bare-bones presentation leaves something to be desired, although it also encourages additional research, something that solitaries in particular should do anyway--in Wicca, there is no One Book that explains it all. In other words, I wouldn't recommend to anyone that you base your practice on this book alone, or elect to become a Wiccan based solely on the content of this book. Do some more reading first--Janet Thompson's "Of Witches", Janet and Stewart Farrar's "A Witches Bible", and some good history books, for example. "A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" has a lot to offer, but it doesn't offer everything. Even so, I still refer to it from time to time for basic information.

Summary: A wonderful, helpful resource
Review: Merry meet! I stumbled upon this book a long time ago, but didn't really think anything of it at the time. Several years later, I came across it again in a local bookstore and bought it. This single book has changed the way I live. It's a wonderful resource for any Wiccan, beginning or otherwise; a must for any Wiccan bookshelf! Blessed be..

Summary: Beautifully Written and Very Informative!
Review: As a beginner, this is the first book I read. I'm only 15 years old, but this book is so well layed out and beautifully articulated that anybody can follow it! I enjoyed this book thoroughly and will own it for years to come. One of the main points of this book is also one of the most important: don't think that you MUST copy spells and rituals verbatim, but feel free to change, write, and create your own to fit your likings. I have already recommended this book to a friend, also just learning, and would also recommend it to everyone and anyone interested in this beautiful religion! Good luck, and may the gods smile upon you! What are you waiting for? BUY THE BOOK!! Plus, you do save money from Amazon. I could've saved about 3 dollars! Have fun, and harm NONE!

Summary: A book for beginners who want more out of their practice.
Review: When I got this book as a present last summer, I started reading it and saw Cunningham's incredible ability to translate something considered to be so complex and narrowing it down to something even a 10th grader can understand!
