A true Gem!! - Rated 
I was directed to buy this book when I first decided to follow the wiccan path. It is a wonderful book, well written, it seems like Scott Cunningham is speaking right to the reader (may he find peace and happiness in the Summerland). He was such a gifted writer, I will be collecting many more of his books!! A Must buy for anyone New to the faith!! Blessed Be
a must buy for the new witch - Rated 
If anyone were to ask me about wicca, whether for me to teach them, for them to simply need a few references on it, or simply for them just to learn about it, I would immediately recommend this book
This book covers so many topics, and for the beginner is absolutely indispencsable as an introductiobn to wicca. Scott's style is easy, informative and, due to his desire for perfection, absolutely full of useful information for a new witch.
Without this book I would not be on the path I am, and that thought does scare me; that I would never have found the Goddess and God and all the wonderful things that eneter your life once this discovery is made
I think that the world of wicca would not be where it is now if it wasn't for scott cunningham. I would highly recommend all of his encyclopedias, and the follow up to this book is just as relevant as this one.
a must buy for the new witch
My first book about Wicca - Rated 
This is a very inspiring book and is just perfect for a beginner. This was my first reading and it was NOT DISAPOINTING at all, on the contrary, it inspired me so much. After reading this book i started growing on Wicca's path. Scott puts things in such a simple but efective way... It's all there and you understand it all, seems all so simple, and it actualy is if you take one step at a time. Be patient and enjoy the way you grow.
Start here - then bloom and grow later - Rated 
I have read many books on the Craft in the last five years and when you're a beginner, it can all seem a little daunting.
This book may have its detractors (whether Wiccan hereditaries, covens or people that expect more) - but it softly eases you in to a very spiritual, honest and loving way of becoming a witch. He keeps it simple - because the religion is all about the individual having the chance to deal with the Gods and Goddesses one to one.
Cunningham reminds you once in a while to do what YOU feel and not to slavishly follow either his words or others. This is a beautiful and simple start.
There is more to Wicca than this.... BUT - Rated 
Ok, I usually stay away from writing reviews on Wiccan books. But I just wrote one for the excellent CIRCLE OF FIRE by UK authors Rankine & D'Este, so I thought, I am on a roll, why not continue on!
This book by Cunningham was one of the first I read on the subject. It introduced to me to many of the concepts within Wicca which seems to be inherent in the system. This is a good introductory book, so recommended to newcomers - but not newcomers to WICCA - newcomers to PAGANISM. For truly this book is about Paganism NOT wicca.
For Wicca - read books by Vivianne Crowley, Kate West, Patricia Crowther, Gerald Gardner, Rankine, Rainbird, D'Este, Lamond....
