Taking us beyond the currently popularized ideas and images of Wicca, the author of The Witches' Qabala and other books guides us to a deeper understanding of the lifestyle, mindset, and dedication to spiritual growth at the heart of this life-transforming practice. Reed tells of life in a coven, training, rituals, initiations, finding a teacher, and spell-casting, all in the tone of a personal conversation with a wise elder.
