Cons: Dogmatic, no historical background presented, suggested readings without description, sections glossed over

Pros: some useful information
Cons: some parts too advanced for beginners

The book To Ride a Silver Broomstick was recommended to me by an online group, and as I have quite enjoyed one or two other books by Silver RavenWolf, I decided I would purchase it. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the book as much as I thought I would.
...

Pros: Beginner-friendly, involves hands-on study.
Cons: It's a book. Some people don't use self-realization, and take the author's beliefs as "gospel".

Pros: Informative, Objective
Cons: Not My favorite author at ALL

Pros: a friendly, informative book for beginners
Cons: the cheesy cover

In my opinion, this book is THE BEST book to get started with-- it is truly Wicca “101”-- but it isn’t a baby step. Silver has a style that is very personable and yet knowledgable. She knows what she is talking about, and can explain complex concepts...
