Title: Proceed with Caution
Product review: Buckland was one of the first people to really bring awareness to the Craft in the United States. Unfortunately, he was also ludicrously egotistical. This book's "History" section is a lie from beginning to end---Craft practicioners need to realize that their religion is not thousands of years old or some secret handed-down tradition from generation to generation. We're new, folks. Deal with it.Buckland is also, if I may quote my good friend Sannion here, "nauseatingly self-referential". You'll find he quotes his own books far more often than any even remotely modest human being would, and he often goes into an extremely dismissive tone when talking about anything that isn't directly related to his interpretation of the craft.The herbal section might help you out, as could the rituals, but I recommend avoiding this thing like the plague if you've got a more than basic understanding of Wicca.
