Product Description
Wicca is based on spiritual practices that honor the earth, nature, and the balance of male and female energies. Contrary to popular belief, this complex religion has nothing to do with black magic and everything to do with ancient wisdom, herbal healing, energy management, and becoming part of a nurturing community. In Simple Wicca, practitioner Michele Morgan dispels the many myths that surround this centuries-old tradition, explains its main tenets, and offers interested readers the basics of how to begin to practice. While other books have been written on Wicca, none are as straightforward and easy to follow. Simple Wicca offers not only practical guidance in the craft, but also an emotional and spiritual understanding of the practice.
I give Morgan props that she does her best to banish preconceived notions of Wicca in the minds of readers who are constantly told they’ll “go to hell” for following the religion, but for beginners, I would recommend Cunningham’s Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practicioner and Earth, Air, Fire and Water by Cunningham. I’m just starting out, but I can tell a credible resource by how much bias is in it, and Morgan seems to give mostly opinions.

I bought this for my coffee table for my Cowan friends to flip though. Then just recentley I picked it up and read through it. OK. For 10 years I’ve been practicing and some times I have occasionally goofed up but I was taught you always called the quarters first then the Gods. Other rituals I attend do this the same way so I was concerned to see this book laying out ritual in this matter. It is not to learn ritual from. The four quarters are our guardians. Why proceed to do ritual/magick with out their protection first? I know a lot of traditions but know none that don’t “Lay the red carpet out” first before calling the Gods. Know who and WHY you are calling! Magick happens! The other parts are nice but it’s too bad people are learing to do ritual this way.

My son worried me because he was dressing gothic and going to a resturant where the oners were wicca. It scared the wits out of me but I am trying to understand the things he is interested and improve my knowledge of them before I make any quick judgements. This book is very imformative. There are still some things I don’t belive in, but I continue to have an open mind and will continue to bye books on these subjects. If you are just learning this is a great starter book. To Michele Morgan, I say think you and wish I could have conversations with you to understand the things I do not. Thanks for being there.

I was looking for a book about wicca … just the basics. The author stated she did that. When I was reading the book I began to realize she wasn’t giving us a book about wicca as a whole but a book about her experience of wicca. The book gave me a ton of information and was well written and laid out. Currently reading Wicca: A guide got the solitary practitioner. This is more what I was looking for … a book describing wicca.
