Wicca: The Old Religion in the New Millennium
by Vivianne Crowley
Amazon Review:
I first read this some time ago when investigating Wicca. I still think it’s one of the most candid and accessible reads for the newcomer to the topic. Given the number of not-so-good, me-too books out there on the topic that we saw published in the 90s, it stands out even more.
Its strengths are a matter-of-fact style, a balanced and pretty unbiased portrayal that doesn’t try to make a political statement, and the large volume of information it offers. It is a sophisticated book that talks a lot about history, about initiatory experience, and about perceptions of divinity. The only flaw I can readily find is that it is a bit dry; just as its cover doesn’t look like Tinker Bell, neither is the style. I can hardly mark Crowley down for this, but it’s worth mentioning because it could affect the reader’s interest.
Will appeal most strongly to the serious seeker with mature tastes in reading who is looking to be informed rather than entertained.
