Title: Wicca 101, Again
Product review: The Heart of Wicca: Wise Words from a Crone on the Path is an admonition to Wiccans to take Wicca seriously. More precisely, it defines "serious" Wicca as the traditions, rituals, and beliefs made up by a coven (as opposed to solitary practitioners), which is then forced upon any who wish to join the coven. The greatest part of this book is spent building and reiterating this theme, with a few chapters in the back devoted to a cursory discussion of rituals, Sabbats, gods/goddesses, etc. With so many excellent beginning Wicca books on the market, new practitioners should not waste their money on The Heart of Wicca. Those of us who have been around longer will not pick up new insights here, and will have long since made up our minds as to what constitutes serious Wiccan practice.
