Raymond Buckland has presented a treasure trove of Wiccan lore. It is a legacy that will provide magic, beauty, and wisdom to future generations of those who seek the ancient paths of the Old Religion."—Ed Fitch, author of Magical Rites from the Crystal Well "I read Bucklands Complete Book of Witchcraft with much pleasure. This book contains enough information and know-how for all approaches: the historical, the philosophical, and the pragmatic...quite entertaining, as much for the armchair enthusiast as for the practicing occultist."—Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon "Never in the history of the Craft has a single book educated as many people, spurred as many spiritual paths, or conjured as much personal possibility as Bucklands Complete Book of Witchcraft. More than just a treasured classic, it is the one book that no seeker should ever be without!"—Dorothy Morrison, author of The Craft "This book was one of the first to guide me on the path of my Craft. Detailed yet non-threatening, educational yet fun —I spent hours pouring over this book in my early days and still refer to it now sometimes for a refresher! I highly recommend this book as an important introduction to the Craft in this modern age."—Fiona Horne, author of Witch: A Magickal Journey "A huge work of excellent materials. Buckland has lifted the last thin veil about Witchcraft, releasing it back into the mainstream to be a folk religion as it used to be."—Z Budapest, author and activist "Based on Raymond Bucklands successful Seax-Wica Seminary course, this classic book is essential reading for all persons seriously interested in the art and religion of Witchcraft. The insight it provides is beneficial for solitaries and covens alike, making it well-deserving of a place in every Witchs personal library."—Gerina Dunwich, author of Wicca Craft and The Wicca Spell Book Review Text "A masterwork by one of the great Elders of the Craft.
