"Scott Cunningham has given a glorious gift to Solitaries and to existing covens. There is so much here, I don't know what to use first."
Ellen Cannon Reed, The Witches Tarot
Not enough can be said about Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. It's sold over a half-million copies since it was first published in 1988, and remains one the most highly-regarded and respected texts ever written on Wicca--the religion of Witches.
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is a positive, practical introduction to Wicca. Scott Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today--a gentle, earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. This book fulfills a need for a practical guide to solitary Wicca--a need which no previous book has fulfilled. Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner shows that Wicca is a vital, satisfying part of twentieth century life.
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is a book of life, and how to live magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with Nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about Magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth.
Before this guide, many persons desiring to learn this religion--some hundreds of miles from the nearest Wiccan--were either coerced into believing that they couldn't be Wiccan alone, or were forced to adapt published group rituals for solitary use. Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner broke these conventions. It presents the theory and practice of Wicca from an individual's perspective.
Based on Scott Cunningham's nearly two decades of Wiccan practice, Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner presents an eclectic picture of various aspects of this religion. Exercises designed to develop magickal proficiency, a self-dedication ritual, herb, crystal, and rune magic, recipes for Sabbat feasts, are all included in this classic book.
