Summary: Reviewed by a 12 year old girl!
Review: I have been studying witch craft for 5 months. Now I am "doing it"! I have fun! It has been a year now, and I haved learned so much. I use my magic to HEAL! When I grow up, I want to be a vet so I have practise healing animals. My cat broke her leg and to make it feel better, it would cost me $75! So I healed it myself, and in 2 weeks, it was fine and it was walking! As I grow older, i'll get more experince and be smarter!
P.S. NEVER use your magic to HURT or KILL someone because one day, It will turn around and do the same to you!

Summary: Not Only For Beginners
Review: I love to read, especially about the craft, so I'm always looking for something different to add to my library. After practising for a number of years I hit a stage where I realized I wasn't doing many of the exercises I used to in my earlier years. I guess I got lazy. It showed in my magick.
I picked up this book because it was highly recommended by someone I trusted, and it was just what I needed. As one reviewer said, it is an excellent primer, but for those of getting lazy later on it is also a great resource for some essential meditational tools that can make or break your power as a witch. I'm not Wiccan per se, and usually avoid books with the word in the title, but this is one of my favorite books and as years pass it will always have a place on my shelf.
Some reviewers have said it's oversimplified, but if you know how to cook, you don't need more than a list of ingredients:) Highly recommended to all.

Summary: Nevermind her allusion to "Love Story"; this is a good book!
Review: I'm getting saturated with Wicca 101 books. They still fascinate me. But I need something new: something advanced to reach towards.

To my surprise, this book provides that!

At first, it seems no more than a well-written introduction to Wicca for the absolute beginner. Morrison gracefully covers the (for me) familiar ground of the God and Goddess, sun and moon, the elements, the correspondences of herbs and crystals and colors and astrological phases. She guides you through the acquisition and consecration of the ritual tools: athame, cup, wand, and pentacle. She explains the esbats and the sabbats. Throughout, she keeps a mild, humorous tone.

(I like how unpretentious she is. She clarifies that her own tradition -- Georgian -- is just one of many following the Wiccan path.)

Then her book really grabs my attention. She includes a 22-week lesson plan that seriously stretches your mind through hands-on exercises. You learn to focus, visualize, sharpen your physical senses, and to understand the ritual tools and their many-layered purposes at a deep symbolic level.

I just loved this. Finally -- something real to do! Something for the intelligent student of Wicca who's been around the block a few times studying some other religions. Too many Wicca 101 books ignore the importance of meditation and visualization and just provide you with some unrealistic sounding spells.

She also delighted me by going into the esbats in unusual detail. I think I have the sabbats down by now. But I didn't know about the different 13 full moons that cycle through the year, their names, their legends, and what to do for each.

Overall, I'd call this book an unusually good 101 introduction that carries the novice through the basics and into some intermediate territory. Put this one together with the Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft by Denise Zimmerman and you will have a brilliant start.

Summary: Morrison has a gift for writing beginners witchcraft books
Review: I'm just getting into the Craft, but this book almost got me out of it. It's really boring, simple, and goes over the same old thing again and again. Morrison has a gift for writing beginers witchcraft books. They are fluffy and fun, but I'd prefer reading books that say something about life and has some kind of meaning and message. Morrison would do well to take up writing children's books, but forget about writing more beginner's Wicca books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Begginers!!!
Review: If you're a begginer in Wicca--then you need to buy this book. Although it focuses more on magick--it still has some good information for begginers. I did like the first chapter and the chapters on the tools, and Wiccan celebrations. I also liked the chapter on meditation. All in all, a great book for begginers. Also, I wouldn't recommend that you waste your money on "The Craft Companion", it just isn't worth the money--"Everyday Magic" by the same author is a good one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for beginners, a must have!
Review: Ive read this book, cover to cover and its a great book for beginners!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: STRICTLY FOR BEGINNERS
Review: Like her other books, Dorothy's tone in this one is warm & welcoming. She encourages the reader to use their individuality in all aspects of wicca. She also covers all the basics, in a slow, easy, very thorough way. The only disclaimer I make about this book is that it is STRICTLY for beginners. If you are an intermediate practitioner, or an adept, you will find very little that's new in this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Rehash
