Title: I liked the recipies, but her historical facts are suspect.
Review: If you know mythological, cultural and general history, you will not get confused by her disregard for verifiable historical facts. For beginners, I suggest Scott Cunningham's Solitary Practicioner (both books), the Farrar's Witches Bible Compleat, the Campanelli's Wheel of the Year, or Raymond Buckland's big blue witchcraft step-by step instructional (his wiccan history is fairly accurate too!). Also reading the Witches God/Goddess by the Farrar's is also a good suggestion for the cyclical nature of Wicca. Reading a book from the mythology or anthropology section of Amazon.com is preferable for an educational background. However, if you leave out the poor history, Ms.McCoy's ritual ideas and receipes are pretty good. I have her Maiden, Mother,Crone book and the meditations are excellent. Make wise and informed choices and always consider the source of the material you're reading (an old history student's mantra).Blessed Be, Denise
