About this eBook
The Wicca Handbook is both a tutorial for new witches and an exceptionally well-organized reference book for experienced practitioners. It guides us through the first steps in becoming a witch and explores many Wiccan traditions, initiations, and magical practices. The Wiccan year-the eight Sabbats-along with many of its rituals and ceremonies are examined. Holland also provides the background of every facet of witchcraft, such as spells for every occasion, psychic protection, numerology, basic astrology, and the lore of stones, metals, candles, animals, and much more.
High Priestess Eileen Holland's helpful guide is rooted in practicality and intended as a working handbook, not a simple beginner's guide. The information is rich; clear directions are given, and its range of content is extensive. Spells, circles, crystals, and color magic, herbs, health, and healing are all covered with abundant direction on how to do it, when to do it, and suggestions for seeking guidance from the deities. Those who have been on their path for a few years will find this a great reference book to refer to time and again.

As the title suggests it is a handbook and offers great resources. I gave 4 stars because I feel that it could've been written in a different way with how things work. Felt there wasn't really and order to the arrangement but it is worth every penny.

For example, Eileen has no idea what the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle is. Also, she talks about Black and White Magic, um what? Ceremonial Magicians, not Wiccans, use the Black and White system. There were some good information as well. I liked her tone and the way she described various topics was decently done. I feel mixed but there are better books on the market for beginners, like Thea Sabin's Wicca for Beginners.
