Summary: Mixed feelings.....
Review: I have mixed feelings about the Farrar's Witches Bible -- without it I probably would not be where I am today, and yet if you read the rituals contained within it becomes obvious that Oaths were broken to write the book. Moreover it is a good read with mostly sound information and good advice for anyone seeking to form a Coven "from scratch" (ie without any formal/Traditional training.) I must also add that some of the information contained within is not strictly "correct" and may get you a few raised eyebrows within the Traditional community (been there, done that, getting the "proper education" to correct the minor mistakes I've been perpetuating to my own Coven.) However I cannot NOT reccomend the book to anyone who does not have access to the Traditional Community, because, frankly without some guidence young Covens would be floundering all over the place and this is a very good place to start -- just know that the Witches Bible Complete is not truly complete (I don't think any book could be), nor is it the end all, be all of Wiccan practice.

Summary: This book is a must-read for all Wiccans and Pagans!
Review: "A Witches Bible" contains, in one volume, Janet and Stewart Farrar's two books, "Eight Sabbats for
Witches" and "The Witches' Way." These two books are classics in the genre of New Age literature and a necessary addition to the library of every Wiccan and Pagan. Together, these two books provide the best published manual on Wiccan practice ever printed.</P>
The first section describes the meanings, history and ceremonies of the Wiccan holidays. The eight Sabbats are described in detail just as they are practiced by the Farrar's coven. To the fragmentary rituals of Gerald Gardner's "Book of Shadows," the Farrar's have added their own material. Based on extensive research and practice, the result is a rich and powerful tradition rooted in the most ancient of lore.</P>
The second section deals with the rest of "The Book of Shadows." The Farrar's detail the initiation rituals, lunar rites and magickal workings which form the core of Witchcraft. Included is extensive material on divination, astral projection and healing. This book also gives important advice on working with others and on running a coven responsibly.</P>
The Farrar's have provided an informative work that is more than just a how-to. They have captured the spirit of "The Old Religion" and it's relevance in helping people to live in better harmony with nature and themselves. This classic helped to establish modern Witchcraft as a religion that focuses on the values of personal growth, sexual equality and love of Nature.</P>

Summary: A must for all would be Wiccans
Review: An excellent guide to Wicca written by two European witches. It helps to fully explain what witches do. An excellent guide for the beginner and the well informed. I was really moved by this work. It really shows the simplicity of our faith and its beauty. When this book first came out we had few complete works about our faith if any at all
Rating: 
Summary: Highly recommended reading for all students of the Craft.
Review: Superb book by the foremost writers on Alexandrian Wicca. Combines two earlier works, EIGHT SABBATS FOR WITCHES and
WHAT WITCHES DO, into one comprehensive volume. Easy to read and follow, this book provides information on all aspects of
Wiccan ritual and practice.
A must for anyone interested in Wicca, Witchraft or Neo-
Paganism.

Summary: A big meaty Gardnerian Tradition book
Review: Although I am not a practitioner of Gardnerian/Alexandrian Traditional Wicca, I purchased this book for reference. The Farrar's book is an in depth, well thought out, handbook for Gardnerian Wicca and includes many explanations and explorations of the various holidays, practices, tools, beliefs, and rituals of that faith. There are, I feel, some bad points to this work: The Farrars express a sugar coated hostility towards feminists and homosexuals which was prevalent in the early days of Wicca. They also express one of the major pitfalls of traditionalists, which is the insistance that their way is the only way to do something, and they also fail to fully examine some of the practices that Gardener included in his practice of the faith. For all it's many faults, the book is still an invaluable tool to traditionalists and ecclectics alike. I recommend it to non-traditionalists as a guide book on forming differing opinions to the traditional outlook, a sort of field guide into what to throw out the window.

Summary: Another work of garbage !!!!!!!!
Review: The only good part worth mentioning about this book are the naked chics. Unfortunately, if rituals of holding hands dancing around candles in order to appease some mystical power are your cup of tea then OMH(Office of Mental health) would love to hear from you !!!!!!! http://www.dhh.state.la.us/offices/?ID=62

Summary: Pretty Interesting I might Add
Review: From a mere educational standpoint , I think I made a wise choice purchashing this book. Although at first I did not think that when I first opened it up. I never read ANYTHING on witchcraft before procuring this book. I have always been curious and fasinated with witchcraft and magic (whatever spelling you seem to like magic(k). This was the first book I saw on the topic so I just grabbed it off the spot. One thing is for certain , I had to do additional/intensive research while reading this book because I'll admit it , this book was over my head to say the least. After forking over $23.00 for this book , I was bound and determined to understand what the authors were talking about. You know what??? I am glad I did. In just three months study utlizing this book , and books from other sources , the more this book started to make sense to me and the more enjoyable it has become to read. When one understands something , the more enjoyable it becomes. There really is deep discussion in this book. This is true. I enjoy reading it every night now. To all those one star reviews out there , I guess I can understand your point of view. After reading the book , the Wicca part I could do without , but the witchcraft/magic part will be on my study list for awhile. I dont know if I'll ever practice this stuff , but I will most likely keep educating myself on it. To me , witchcraft/magic is interesting and fun to study. The book is divided into two parts (2 books in one really). I really did not enjoy much of the first part of the book (mainly rituals) but the second part of the book was just amazing. Very interesting topics and intense verbiage. I never really knew how well rounded and how remarkable a witchs vocabulary could be. These authors can speak and express themselfs very well. I had to purchase a dictionary after getting this book. My vocabulary probably increased 10-15 percent after reading this book. Im sure that other books on this topic will be a cake walk after subjecting myself to this book. I'll sum it up in two words. "DEEP STUFF". However , with appropriate study though , you CAN and WILL get a great deal of interesting information from this book. I would have to say that I would indeed recommend it. Keep in mind , if you never read anything on witchcraft or magic before, this book is difficult to comprehend.

Summary: Gardenarian wicca would be a better title
Review: All I can say about this book is that it should have been called a wiccan bible complete not a witch's bible complete. There is a big difference between wiccan and witch and this book is all wicca. Wicca was created by gardner and is full of ceremony, circle work and initiations. If you are looking for books on witchcraft then go to HEALING WISE by Susun Weed, HERBAL RITUALS by Judith Berger, and LOVE IS IN THE EARTH by Melody, all of these books touch on natural non ceremonial witchcraft as daily life, not religion.
