Summary: if you like imbalance, this is your book
Review: This book is more of a platform for the feminist movement than it should be - it uses religion as a vehicle to speak this point. The general tone of the book is 'female and male are equal, but the female is more equal than the male' - WHAT? If you are a practitioner of wicca or witchcraft, than you know that there is total equality, not reverse sexism. I found the book useless.

Summary: "Bible" is Just the Name of It
Review: "The Witches' Bible" is one of my favorite books. No, it is not a bible. Witches do not have bibles, it is a combination of 2 really good books, put into one. It has a lot of information and that is why they call it a "bible". Someone else wrote that the reason they didn't like it, was because it didn't have any spells in it. Witchcraft is a religion. It is not all about spells. If you are just looking for spells, then you're right, don't read this book. If you like a book that has a lot of information about what real witches do, then read this book. It has beautiful rituals, and a lot of very good information. It is a book that emphasizes the Gardnerian tradition, and every witch should own it and read up on all the different traditions.

Summary: Blessed be Stewart! May the Goddess take care of you always
Review: This book was a wonderful, comprehensive look at witchcraft today. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I have used it in many instances to help teach younger witches to grow and follow the Goddess path. I want to wish Janet the best of luck and let her know that the Goddess will provide. Blessed be Stewart, may Herne make your trip pleasant. Take care all of you fellow witches. Blessed be, your sister in the Goddess.

Summary: A very good work
Review: Upon hearing of Mr.Farrar's death a month or so ago I read every book I could find by these two fine Witches. I have to say if I would have read their books when I first started it would have sped my training up greatly! May Our Lady bless Janet in these sad times, and embrace her beloved husband Stewart. Blessed Be!

Summary: Two for the price of one....
Review: This is one of the jewels of any pagan library. Being two separate novels in one it's a complete and excellent reference guide. This book is full of important and useful information on the practices and rituals of many pagans. The reader is able to quickly access information on everything from altar tools and positioning to sabbats and sacred texts. Definitly a must for any pagan library.

Summary: We get the point.
Review: People, stop beating up on this person because of the name. OBVIOUSLY its not a Bible, because noting related to the craft or anything is going to be a Bible. Consider the above review saying Bible only means "book". And if you're thick enough to be mislead by something saying Witche's Bible (which is an oxymoron), you're just not qualified to write a helpful review on this book.

Summary: It says "Witches Bible", but it's not
Review: I tought this book by it's title meant that I would find anything on spells, cast or whatever, but it wasn't the case. There's a lot of details on witches, the historic of it and how they do rituels, but none on how to cast a spell or how to write one or so. Though in the book they say that most people are interested in spells, they don't give you any information. They only explain basic fact of what is a good spell and what is a bad one. You know the kind you not suppose to use agains others... So, if your interested in history and want to know more about witches and how they do rituels, GO BUY the book, if not, DON'T BOTHER, because at the end,you'll just wonder if you can return it...

Summary: Good for advanced practitioners, teens may also read
Review: I read a review on this book, and I wanted to write one, saying something a bit otherwise, from what im going to write here. The review I read was a teen that found this book overwhelming, and not good for teens because of it. I am a teen, (now 15) and when I bought this book I was 13. I did not find this book overwhelming (im not saying others wont either, or even that they will). It is based primarily on how advanced you are in the craft and the reading level that you read on. I found this a good book, representing nature, the freedom and expression of skyclad ritual, and also a look at the Gardenarian tradition. I recommend this book to experienced readers out there looking for good information and knowledge.
Rating:
Summary: Informative, but overwhelming.
Review: This is an exelent book for an advancing adult practicioner. There is a plethora of information in it; perhaps too much information. As a teen studying the Craft of the Wise, I found this book to be a bit confusing and containing too much information. If you need notes for your BOS, or have LOTS of time and patience at your hands, pick it up! If you are perhaps younger, or don't have a ton of time to spare, I would sugest a Ravenwolf or Cunningham book instead.
Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Review: Although this book is pretty thick, you will find everything you need to know. Even a non-wiccian will find this enlightening. Part of the Book Of Shadows is found here as well. Must read!
