Book
of Shadows : A Modern Woman's Journey into the Wisdom of
Witchcraft and the Magic of the Goddess by
Phyllis
Curott.
A "book of shadows" is a witch's
journal, her diary of spells and rituals, and a record of her
discoveries as she travels the Wiccan path. Book of Shadows
is an apt title for Curott's novel, which chronicles her journey
from the lawyer's world of facts and physical evidence to the
witch's world of imagination and magic. Her story is at times
more fantastic than "real life" should be--rather like
a Lifetime movie--not unbelievable, but with a combination of
the mundane and the magical that is intriguing enough to keep us
turning the pages to find out what her barbaric boss is going to
do next and watch her advance along the road to becoming a
witch. The autobiographical story makes the perfect vehicle for
the truth that witches don't kill cats, eat babies, or worship
Satan, but are actually women of different shapes, sizes,
attitudes, and cultures who are reawakening an ancient religion
that cares for its members without asking for a sacrifice in
return. --Brian Patterson.

"This is one of the best books on
witchcraft I have ever read. It gives the reader a wonderful
understanding of Wiccan practices, beliefs, and history. I love
this book to pieces, it's one I frequently return to. It dispels
so many myths, challenges so many perceptions, but sacrifices
none of the mystique so often associated with Wicca. I was
impressed by its beautiful style, it is very easy to read and
absorb, the words stay with you long after you have finished
reading them, which shouldn't take too long, because its one of
those books that's just so hard to put down you'll wonder where
your weekend went. I'd recommend it as a first book to anyone
interested in pursuing Wicca as a faith (or indeed to anyone
seeking an understanding of Wicca), because it doesn't fill the
readers head with notions that witchcraft is all about sticking
pins in things and messing around with noxious poisons. It shows
the reader an ancient and elegant form of worship to higher
powers- not a quick and easy way to get back at your ex-
illustrating the ethics of witchcraft (and the reasons getting
back at your ex isn't really such a good idea). The authors
don't style themselves as the only authorities on witchcraft,
and include a vast glossary of recommended reading, as well as
generous praise for other authors and witches they admire. The
witches bible offers a complete fundamental understanding of the
basic principles of witchcraft, and for this reason I consider
it very aptly named. It truly is a witches bible..." --
