review 1: What was I thinking buying this? I should have remembered that it was authors like him that were responsible for me leaving Wicca. Actually I'm not even mad at him. 1. He is dead. 2. A lot of this book is quotes from his old books 3. What's from his actual Book of Shadows isn't what annoyed me.I don't have the book with me right now. Anyways he brought up the burning times and how the "Wicca" suffered then. There were no "Wicca" back then. Yes he said "Wicca" instead of Wiccans. Anyways, Wicca is a modern religion. That doesn't make it any less of a religion. The people that were persecuted during the "burning times" were Christian and to call them Wiccan is spitting on their grave, because it goes against what they believe in.On the bright side I think this boo... morek might come in handy with all of the correspondences, but then again maybe not. I already had that stuff on hand.Oh I will be buying his encyclopedia of magical herbs. I miss that book.
review 2: How amazing to be blessed with a book almost twenty years after the man who penned it has passed from this life. To see snippets from his personal notes, his typewritten pages with handwritten asides, is to feel like I'm connecting with the man who brought me my religion. Wicca today wouldn't be what it is without his contributions! Having spent the entirety of my Wiccan path believing I would never be graced with another Cunningham book, it was a rush of elation to hear this Book of Shadows would be published. I thank the Goddess for this final gift from Scott; it's a great collection of rituals, recipes, and basic information on the religion. less
