Most of these books are just lists of meditations to try, that someone else has written. Sigh.
THIS one goes deep into the how-tos, the whys - Wildman gives instruction to people wanting to lead a group in trancework, instructions for having your own experience, how to deal with any problems that may come up, and lots more. This book is a wealth of information and instruction from someone who knows what she's talking about, a great read, and definitely something to keep on hand for reference. Highly recommended!
Wiccan Meditations is among the most solid books available to modern Witches, on either the subject of trancework or on group workings. Though the book is easily accessible to solitaries, the wealth of coven and group-oriented exercises and the wisdom of advice on altered states available in this book make it a "must-have" for every coven leader. And the careful, informative way the material here is presented will make it a terrific spiritual guide to solitaries, too. Not nearly enough has been said about the ways that visualization and trance work are a cornerstone of Wiccan spirituality--and no one has covered the ground in as practical and thorough a way as Laura Wildman does here.
I strongly recommend this book, to novice Pagans looking to understand what the experience of being Wiccan is really about, and to coven leaders looking to beef up their stock of spiritual and pschic development tools for their own covens.
