there's a lot that's been referred to me, but most of these I've read a lot of the works by the authors, and their stuff is well-researched and all. some of it's dry, some of it's really good.

Are you tired of all the Wicca 101 books that you find on the bookshelf?
This is NOT a Wicca 101 book.
This book is written with a casual style that is easy to read. It is very informative and touches on a lot of subjects that those who seek the path of Wicca should know. The chapters are more like guidelines, telling you thing your probably ought to know (about history, roots, anthropology, psychology, and a myriad more) but it never occured to you to learn. Not only after every chapter does it give recommended reading (and homework), she doesn't just - throw out a list of books. Each book is explained, it's Pros and Cons, and seems more meaningful than just throwing out a book list.
If you're past buying a lot of the '101' crap off of the 'new age' shelf, grab this one. It will take you further.
