Rating: Summary: Wonderful book! Review: This was the first book that I purchased on my journey into Wicca. I read the whole thing cover to cover, and I have never read anything so informative as this. The spells are simple. The extra recipies are not only fun -- they work! Oh - and did I mention the fact that everything is explained in detail? I would recommend this book to any witchy person, it's a joy to read.
Rating: Summary: Violates every rule of responsible witchcraft! Review: What a load of tripe! Anyone who seriously uses this as a model is headed for heartache. This is a writer who has no trouble putting the Wiccan Rede on one page and a four page hex on the next! Full of "cutesy" chapter names, meaningless illustrations and decidedly nasty hexes, spells, and retribution this is an effort best consigned to the... We read this aloud at a Wiccan gathering and howled with laughter - until we realized that this was not a satirical piece and the author was serious.
Rating: Summary: Fiona Horne is the best WITCH!!! Review: Witch: A Magickal Journey- is just that, a journey, her journey. This book was such wonderfuly writen I cant specify enough about how good this book is. This truley is "HIP". Fiona Horne cover's about almost everything that she know's about the world of Witchcraft. From Hexing,Spells,going skyclad, to you name it, she cover's it all. I read it all in one day belive it or not. One thing I like about the book was that she dosnt have a feminist point of view. She makes sure that when she is useing she she alway's put /he or /him,ect. As a male Wiccan, I find it very conferting that she does that, because not that many Female Wiccan Author's do that these day's. To wrap it all up, Fiona Horne is a great and knowledgeable Witch, and im looking forward to buy her next book.
Rating: Summary: A hip guide to modern witchcraft Review: Without prejudice, I have found that Fiona's books seem to run on similar and in some cases exactly the same wordings, or are liftings of entire paragraphs and even titles as some llewellyn and other books, authors, and even a speaker I have met who used to associate with her.I have met her, observed her, and read her. I also ask you to consider, What real witch adds her photo to the cover of her books? I read her own quote in an Australian Esoteric Magazine long before she became www.witch.com. It quoted her saying that she "had never done any kind of witch craft or anything like this growing up, and even until that weekend" (a wiccan event in Sydney, Australia). It was a wiccan weekend away that she was invited to a few years ago. Then, a couple of years later, she claims to have been doing this since early teens. Nothing adds up correctly or is consistant in her responses on radio, t.v. or in newspapers, and I can't say it is in this or her other books either. We have been told that now Fiona Horne is now going to star in a reality tv show "Mad Mad House" in it a selected member of the public will be thrown into the house and locked away with the highly enthusiastic Fiona Horne (as witch), accompanied by a vampire, a voodoo practitioner and a shaman of some culture or other. The reality show will include sending the previously sane? person completely bonkers by living at length in closed quarters with the magical bunch whilst having no contact with the outside world. Once the person is sent completely troppo, the magical bunch will use their knowledge to 'cure' the person from their madness. HELLO? I wonder about the minds of the 'practitioners' who agreed to the concept. I wonder more about the mind of the person who thought it up, and is working to get it onto tv. So finally, I ask the question: What kind of white-witch knowingly part takes power-over type events like this? Answer: Not a one.
