Description
Wicca Magic is an essential guide to learn how the cycles of nature, the moon, and the elements work to connect you closer to the craft. Learn about the different types of Wicca:
- Garderian Wicca

In Wicca Magic, you will cast a circle, purify space and participants, call down to the guardians, and more! With the use of altars and rituals, magic is right at your fingertips.
Discover the origins of Wicca, types of witches, different deities, and Wiccan core beliefs while unearthing the truth about realms and portals. In addition to spells, spellcasting, rituals, and meditations, learn to make potions from the herbs and plants that are integral to the practice and how oils, incense, and candles can harness intentions.

This book began with a statement "No one is born Wiccan, even if they have Wiccan parents". I like this quote as a practitioner of the old ways, because it gives freedom to spiritual practices even in light of childhood. I also like the historical aspects of the language regarding pagans, and how those descriptors were used in the past, as well as their modern interpretations. The definition of magic or magick also piqued my interest, as it is left to the practitioner to decide. I liked the fact that the author discusses different lineages of Wicca, such as Gardnerian, Dianic, Celtic, and Alexandrian; eclectic and solitary Wiccans are explained, as well as covens. This book talks of Wiccan laws (crede and threefold) and belief systems as monotheistic, ditheistic, or polytheistic in relation to gods and goddesses. The author discusses in detail the seasonal ceremonies (esabats and sabbats) and rituals that are observed. The overall theme of this book is there is no one right or wrong way to celebrate paganism and the natural cycle of spiritual practices, including Wiccan. I found this book a great starter book for those just introduced to the Craft, and a good read for those of us who have practiced lifelong. I recommend it.
NetGalley Arc App review
This book has all the qualities I look for in a book of this nature, and then some. The author clearly has a great understanding of content yet still give facts, references, etc. sometimes even unbiased information allowing you to learn and grow into your own.
Great for anyone just starting out, and wants to hold honest values with honest teachings. Also just a fun read for those of us advanced practitioners.
Well rounded for teens. As most books of this nature aren’t always. **
Excellent book full of all the information anyone would need! I loved how this book went into just enough depth to not overwhelm but just open up the topic. I love the art throughout and how simple and cozy the entire piece is. I would highly recommend this one for someone who is interested in Wicca and wants a practical and easy to use introduction.
