An extremely well-written introduction to Wicca, especially for the Gardnerian/Alexandrian traditions. The Farrars know their stuff; they explain some of the history of Wicca and then explain the Sabbats and some rituals. There's even included pictures of them enacting the rituals, so that you can see exactly how they do them. The Farrars are definitely 2 of my favorite pagan writers out there. They are informative yet interesting.

The Witches' Bible is actually two of their books previously published combined into one book of 2 parts: Part I is Eight Sabbats for Witches and Part II is The Witches' Way. The Farrars belong on every Wiccan's bookshelf, imo, even if you're not into the Gardnerian/Alexandrian traditions. So much of Wicca stems from these traditions that knowing about them, if only for the historical context, is important.

I plan on wild releasing this on my way to Salem the night before Halloween.

Released on Thursday, October 30, 2003 at rest stop (not sure which one) in I-90, Massachusetts USA.

Releasing this tonight on my trip east and north to Salem, MA for a Halloween bacchanalia. :-)
