I recently bought the book, "To Ride A Silver Broomstick", and I have  
loved every word. She writes for the new witch, or the 'thinking  
about it' person, which I was when I bought the book. She gives you  
all the interesting information in an almost textbook style format,  
and at the end of chapters she often has as assignment to write in  
your journal, which you are expected to keep up if you really want to  
study the craft. She is also open about the craft, giving all the  
different traditions and letting you look everything over so that you  
get a clear overview of the witchcraft, and can decide for yourself  
what most appeals to you. I found it a great tool in furthuring my  
spirituality. Even people who are not interested in Wicca per say,  
but in broadening their spirirtual life to include an emphasis on  
nature, and the God and Goddess, would do well to have this book. 

She covers topics such as making your own ritual, designing your own  
ceromony, what tools a witch uses in the craft, webweaving,  
spellcraft, tarot and divination tools, history and different  
traditions, and much more. She is an open person, and this comes out  
in her book. She emphasizes the idea that wicca is a personal  
religion, and what works for you is acceptable, as long as it follows  
the rule of, "And it harm none, do what thou will". 

	In short it was a wonderful intoduction to the Craft, as well  
as being a valuable tool and reference guide. I would reccomend it to  
anyone interested in the Craft, and to anyone already practicing that  
would like a good book to further there study and broaden their  
perspective.
