Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (Llewellyn's Practical Magick) Review
I highly recommend this book for a number of reasons:
1. It is an overall good read that covers the basics of the Craft.
2. It is by Buckland and his style of writing is very straight forward (not like trying to decipher a few of the works of Crowley -even though doing that is worth it!) and descript. He doesn't leave you guessing to very much. He presents a simple and direct view at what Wicca is and how to become a solitary witch. This is probably one of his greatest books of all time. Certainly the vast majority of wiccans and pagans in general will agree with me. It has introduced thousands upon thousands to the "craft of the wise".
3. Buckland has been around for years. He is one of the most knowledgable witches you will find and though this book is really an introduction to the craft, it has enough in it to start a person off and also live the wiccan life. It has some fairly advanced material within it also. Also the reviews at the end of each chapter are good to have -they ensure you are actually soaking in what is being taught, rather than simply skimming through it.
There are many more reasons I could list, but I am trumped on time! Blessed be to all and if you choose to buy this book, be prepared for a journey that will introduce you to a new spirituality and religion that is unrestrictive to individual growth and development. Bright blessings!

Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (Llewellyn's Practical Magick) Overview
Here is the most complete self-study course in modern Wicca available, written by the person who first went public with "The Old Religion" in the United States. For group or solitary use, it includes rituals; exercises for developing psychic talents; information on all major "sects" of the Craft; sections on tools, beliefs, dreams, meditations, divination, herbal lore, healing, ritual clothing; and much, much more.
Even those who have practiced Wicca for years find useful information in Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft, and many covens are using it as their textbook. Profusely illustrated and full of music and chants.

This 1986 classic is not only an excellent introduction to the Wiccan religion and earth-based religions in general, it's also a workbook that can take the serious student to the equivalent level of third-degree Gardnerian. Though Raymond Buckland was a student of the late great Gerald Gardner, this manual does not adhere to a specific branch or denomination of witchcraft, but rather seeks to teach the elements and philosophies common to all, whether Celtic, Saxon, Finnish, or what have you. Buckland is credited with bringing the "old religion" to the U.S., and covens and solitary witches practicing the craft in the U.S. today have him to thank for getting it out of the closet. While Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a must-have for any serious Wiccan practitioner, it is full of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom, which makes it a wonderful addition to the library of any broadminded seeker on the path toward the One. --P.
