More Praise for Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft

“‘The Big Blue Book’ has earned the status of a true classic in the world of Witch-craft and Wicca. I use both words because Ray Buckland covers both the Craft and the religion with total comprehensiveness. The book evolved out of a successful correspondence course and remains a self-study course and a valid text of the art and science of practical magick.”

—Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
Publisher

“Raymond Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft is probably one of the clearest, direct presentations of all there is to Witchcraft. It is well done . . . in many ways, it takes the mystery out of an ancient belief, and Buckland is to be commended for having put it all together so well.”

—Hans Holzer
Writer/Producer

“If you want to start your own circle, this book will tell you how to begin and indicates paths to progress thereafter; if you’re already established and find yourself facing the training of newcomers, this book will remind you of all the things you’ve either forgotten or take so much for granted that it doesn’t occur to you to mention them. Heartily recommended.”

“This book was one of the first to guide me on the path of my Craft. Detailed yet non-threatening, educational yet fun—I spent hours pouring over this book in my early days and still refer to it now sometimes for a ‘refresher’! I highly recommend this book as an important introduction to the Craft in this modern age.

“Ray Buckland gives an integrated view of essential Witchcraft, synthesized by his very extensive knowledge and illuminated by the genial breadth of his own wisdom. Thus we have here not only an ample course on ‘how to be a Witch’ but also, incidentally, a sane and joyful exposition of life and how to live it.”

—Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips
Authors of Llewellyn’s Practical Guide series

“A master-work by one of the great Elders of the Craft. Raymond Buckland has presented a rich treasure-trove of Wiccan lore. It is a legacy that will provide magic, beauty, and wisdom to future generations of those who seek the ancient paths of the Old Religion.”
