Summary: Every teen seriouse witch needs one.
Review: Teen Witch is a great way to start your own magickal journy through Witchcraft. It covers all the basics about witchcraft that every teen witch should no before starting anything, and it has really great spells. It shows you how to cast a proper circle, celebrate the sabbats, what Wicca is and isn't.... and much more.
No personal library is complete with out this awsome handbook.

Summary: Yes and No
Review: I have actually had this book for a few years. I think I got it when I was 16. I am now 19 and I occasionally go back to it although not much. I found it a bit helpful three years ago, but it is something, you won't really need after you are past the beginner stage. It wasn't really bad or really good. It could have been better if it didn't have spells in it. I personally believe (as do many others) that you shouldn't even be practicing magic until you know more about it. I can't really tell you whether to get this book or not. There are more than likely two types of people looking at these reviews right now. Young teens and parents of young teens. To each of you, this is what I say: Young Teens: This is a good beginners book, there are better, but this book is good. Maybe you could borrow it off of someone or see if it's in the library. If you follow through with becoming a Pagan, you most likely won't need to refer back to it much later in life. Parents of Young teens: It is OKAY for your child to read this book. If you aren't sure, check out the look inside option first. Read it yourself first if you want to as well. Then buy him or her Wicca: a guide for the solitary practioner by Scott Cunningham. In addition to Teen Witch so that you child can see that there is more than one view about Witches and Pagans.

Summary: It swept me away.......
Review: Simply an extrodinary book. It clearly explains the dos and don't of the religion and practice of Wicca. It is a must for novices of any age. Even if your just curious about Wicca it is a wonderfully written book. It has an aura of no pressure while informing you with useful and wonderful knowledge. Silver has a gift for teaching and giving understanding. She has the ability to get in to her readers heads and know what they wish to ask with out a word t her. It is utterly and inexplicably amazing. I recomend it to all, no matter your faith.

Summary: Terrible at best.
Review: First of all Aradia is not the mother of Diana, second the frost giants are not my freinds or yours, third she talks aginst curses then gives an example of a nasty folk spell (toungue tying). If you are new DO NOT get this book. Read Cunningham or Galenorn but not this .

Summary: This is for teens?
Review: Ok, let's get some basic facts out of the way first. I am a teenager. An older teenager, to be sure, and a cut above the rest in intelligence, but a teenager all the same. The first real book I came across when I first began to study paganism was "To Ride..." I thought it was ok. Not outstanding, but ok. I read a few of Scott Cunningham's books, and then i come across this one. Upon seeing the title, my first reaction was, "Huh? I thought 'To Ride...' WAS written for teens!" And you know what? I still think it was, along with a lot of other books supposedly aimed at adults over 40. The problem with being a good reader is that not very many books challenge you into actually thinking. This one is on the opposite end of the spectrum. My advice is not to read this if you're over twelve, and not to read any of Silver's other books if you're over fifteen.

Summary: Please, Ms. Ravenwolf, give me a break
Review: When I first saw this book in the store, I laughed, and was utterly disappointed in what the occult section has to offer young readers. The "hoochies" on the cover really turned me off, and the fact that most of the book appealed to the "glamour of spell casting" and not what Wicca and Witchcraft really is. By enticing readers with "So you wanna be a witch?" doesn't prove anything and only increases stereotypes against Witches. I only have this book in my collection because someone bought it as a Samhain present. I laughed through half the book and was mad through the rest of the "do it my way" parts. The "Don't Call Me Spell" Is my absolute favorite part. She treats teens like stupid little kids who are succeptible to her brainwashings. Sadly, some are, and I pray for their ignorance. I HIGHLY recommend that if you want an introduction to teen/eclectic Wicca that you pick up "Where to Park Your Broomstick" By Lauren Manoy. She presents the information in a fun and teen way, unlike Ravenwolf. I laughed through a lot of the book, only because it is actually a funny book.(Maybe I'm biased because I think Silver Ravenwolf is a dumb name.)

Summary: The most famous Witch in America?
Review: I am sorry, how can anyone take a book serious when it starts by proclaiming that the author is the most famous Witch in America? Oh please, I would give it one star if it wasn't for the fact that someone was shrude enough to realize their is a huge market for teens. Unfortunately, the tone in the book seems to be to talk down to the reader as if they wont understand big words. If you are thinking about buying this book, please read Scott Cunningham's Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner first. Then read this one and you will know what I mean.

Summary: Could have been far better
Review: This book does have its merits, but its far from being the best intro to Wicca book out there. Ravenwolf presents all the information in way that makes you think that you have to do it her way. I found this to be slightly intimidating and was rather turned off by it. Most beginner Wicca books have more information then this and have the information presented in much friendly stlye.

Summary: I Had Some Problems With It
Review: First of all, I want to say that I'm a teen Wiccan (Very Eclectic), and I'm 15 years old now, and if you want a list of good Wicca 101 books, I would gladely send you a list and a link to my homepage "DarkRaven's Wicca For Teens." I would also recommend that you read "To Ride a Silver Broomstick" by the same author. (This is her BEST book so far.) If you are too tiered to e-mail me, then see my other reviews by clicking on my name. I am so glad that they had this book in the library, which stopped be from buying it! Now lets say some good stuff about this book before I start to bash it.The things I liked were: I liked the chapters on ritual and magick, I also liked the spells, but I feel that spells shouldn't be given to begginers, and it's much better if you write your own. The things I didn't like were: I didn't like her "Real Witches DO...Real Witches DON'T" section--it was VERY laughable. First of all who is to say what real Witches do. (It would be better if she used "Wiccans", but I guess she sees them as same things) In that section she kept saying how real Witches don't use blood in their rituals. But, some of them do. Some Witches (non-Wiccan) use their own blood to seal their spells, which majes their magick much more stronger--a good example of that would be "Embracing the Moon" by Yasmine Galenorn. If she just called it "Real Wiccans DO...Real Wiccans DON'T" Then I wouldn't have a problem with it. The coment she said about magick was also her own belief. She said something like "magick can not exist/work without a belief in a Divine (God)" This statment is tottaly wrong because magick can work without a belief in any God or Goddess, magick works by you believeing in it and yourself. And one more thing, you can NOT be a Wiccan and a Christian--you can practice magick and be a Christian, but Christianity and Wicca don't go together. I gave this book 3 stars because I'm a very genorous person, but I do wish that Silver would say in the introduction to teens that these are her opinions and her beliefs and that there are many authors out there who think differently. Also about the angels. Well, I don't work with angels because they were created by Christianity and there is no other proof that someone else created them, and using these beings in magick is kind of risky because they are not all that "fluffy." Angels are just another little thing that we Wiccans are getting laughed at and called "fluffy-bunnies." Wiccans believeing in angels is very new (like the fluffsters of New Age), and when Gardner created Wicca about 50 years ago, he didn't have angels in his closet. (Also, Gardner spelled Wicca like this: "Wica"...try to find some of his books.) All in all I would suggest that you better buy a few Wicca 101 books then this one. "The Craft" by Dorothy Morrison is a good one. And if you hear someone say "Ms. RavenWolf is like a cult leader, or something" then go to her website (remodeled) and read the things about "Teen Witch" and "Teen Witch Kit" to see why. I do believe that this author has some good book (I reviewed them here on Amazon.com), and I do plan to buy her new book "The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the Solitary Witch" (see her website for more information.) I'm done ranting now. You are better off with Wicca 101 books (that's how I started), even if they are for adults, they can help a lot.

Summary: hmm
Review: This is great book for a young person that knows nothing about Wicca or someone that's just getting started but a lot of what's in the book, you can find regurgitated on any "Wicca For Beginners" website. Something else I don't understand, what's up with this book (and everyone else for that matter) saying "no, we don't change our hair color in the blink of an eye" and "REAL WITCHES don't levitate objects." Why the heck shouldn't we?? I believe it's possible and I've seen people that can do that (no, not in the movie The Craft)
