I'll see if I can sit and read this guy at a local bookstore. I don't own it myself nor will I buy it just to read it once. whee

I have read Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft and I'll have to agree with you it does touch many of the basics in witchcraft. Its a pretty well rounded book.
The one thing I disliked about the book was that most of his information is coven based (wich isn't very helpful in my case) I also don't like that he is so strict with all his pratices (you can't do this or you have to do this way.) I guess I'm a little more flexable in my pratices.
Well that's why you read books from different authors so you get a well rounded information because you are not going to agree with everything someone says.

Ah, the reviewed book this issue (Pagan Spirituality) is among my favorites. It's very true that it is not a general appeal book and it is far from being 101 material. When I first picked up the book, I wasn't ready for it. It is, however, the ONLY book out there which seriously addresses spiritual development from a Neopagan perspective. While I found myself disagreeing with some of the paradigms they used, they're still useful tools for understanding things. This book would be of most use to people who are in a leadership position within the Neopagan community and serve as clergy to other individuals. It can also help jump-start your brain with ideas to enhance the spiritual core of personal practice. I know when I need that, I'll go back to this book. whee
