Whether you are new to the Craft or have been practicing for some time, Witchcraft: Theory and Practice will impart wisdom that will fascinate and entice. You will be using this book for many years to come.
This is not true magick. it is a man made form. It is just another neo-paganism or wicca book.

Here is more of the “make it up as you go along” variety of Wicca. As with most books written today on Wicca, the author mixes up a batch of “instant Wicca lite” and serves it with a big ladle. Today Wicca seems to be whatever anyone feels it is at any particular time of day. This “blind leading the blind” approach to Wicca is very puzzling, but seems to be what people want.
So, if you don’t really care what Wicca is truly about, and want just another idea whipped up in someone’s backroom overnight, then this book is as “good” as any.

In here you will find the beliefs and practices of witchcraft. Though the title is an Aleister Crowley rip, I did find useful information in the old days when I disliked Wicca. But all the author did was talk about it.

The book begins with a discussion of the nature of witchcraft. Part of this section explains why women, by their weaker nature and inferior intellect, were supposedly naturally more prone to the lure of Satan. The book title itself has maleficarum, the female noun, and the writers (incorrectly) declare that the word femina (woman) is a derivation of fe+minus, faithless Satanis, or she devil with udders.
Has some good spells to turn people into rocks.

This book is great for explaining the basic concepts of Witchcraft, but much to confusing for the beginner. I would suggest an easier book for those of you just starting out as witches.
