To Ride a Silver Broomstick: New Generation Witchcraft by Silver RavenWolf
|
Silver RavenWolf is one of the most widely recognized names in circles of witchcraft, and with good reason; she has written some of the best guides to contemporary Witchcraft available. To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a handbook aimed at the beginner, and doesn’t get bogged down in history, dogma, or gender roles. It is a workbook for the individual, whether one is a solitary practitioner or part of a coven, that covers the basics of the craft–from useful vocabulary to setting up an altar–and briefly delves into more advanced concepts such as astral projection and telepathy.

The Sabbats, Esbats, corresspondences, divination, meditation, and many more are explored to the fullest, while other books provide only brief outlines. Among the other topics covered are: finding your magical name, spirit animals, reincarnation, magical alphabets, and choosing dieties and element energy to work with. Silver does her best to explain these subjects to the reader in an easily understandable way, without leaving too many questions in his/her mind. She also recommends books at the end of every chapter to help further your learning. If you have read other Craft-related books and are still left with many questions, perhaps this book will help. New students/worshipers will find this an excellent starting point for their studies. Although some readers have expressed dissapoinment in the un-elaborate writing style, this reviewer believes that a simple, un-flowery approach to writing is essential for a beginner book and only adds to the author’s charm. Everyone will find at least one thing in this book that is of help or interest to them. Few books on the subject are this informative." |
