Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner
Scott Cunningham
Synopsis
Here is a positive, practical introduction to the religion of Wicca. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today - a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. This book fulfills a need for a practical guide to solitary Wicca - a need which no previous book has fulfilled.
Wicca is a book of life, and how to live magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with Nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about Magic, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to acheive the much needed wholesome relationship with our Earth.
Wicca is a positive practical introduction to the religion of Wicca, designed so that any interested person can learn to practice the religion alone, anywhere in the world. It presents Wicca honestly and clearly, without the pseudo-history that permeates other books. It shows that Wicca is a vital, satisfying part of twentieth century life.
This book, based on the author's nearly two decades of Wiccan practice, presents an eclectic picture of various aspects of this religion. Exercises designed to develop magicl proficiency, a self-dedication ritual, herb, crystal and rune magic, recipes for Sabbat feasts, are included in this excellent book.
Praise for Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner
"Cunningham's latest, Wicca: A Guide for the Soliary Practitioner, not only serves its main purpose (to instruct solitary Wiccans) but in the process provides a good survey of Wiccan theory and practice for non-Wiccans who simply want to know what it is all about." - Dr. J. Gordon Melton, Director, Institute for the Study of American Religion
Review from amazon
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is the essential primer from one of the best known authors on Wicca. Focusing on the importance of individualism in your spiritual path, Cunningham explains the very basics of Sabbats (holy days), ceremonies, altars, and other nuts and bolts of Wicca that a solitary practitioner may have trouble finding elsewhere. While Wicca shouldn't be your sole point of reference when considering Wicca as your way of life, it is one of the best starting points. --Brian Patterson
