But not surprised that such a powerful book could create such controversy among its reviewers here. This is a great testament to its ability to arouse and inflame.

All of the reviewers who posted here were obviously moved by this book in one way or another. Living in San Francisco, I often forget that this country is full of such unenlightened prudes. And to think that some of these people recieved it as a gift! I can see why someone thought they needed it.

In the initial negative review, by Helen Le'Balnc, she expected the book to be "a cute and sexy entry into the annals of pagan publishing." Imagine how dissapointed she was when she realized this book would stand out and, Goddess forbid, create CONTROVERSY!

Of course this book will be too liberated for some. I feel a bit sorry for those people. But it is because of the pervading moralistic views in this country that this book is so necessary, and it being published in the first place a triumph for free speech. The negative reviewers here would be happiest if a book like this never got published in the first place. They are upset if paganism/wicca is portrayed as anything other than bland and impotent, "cute", nothing to worry about, nothing challenging. Thank goodness there are others who are willing to stand up to the mainstream, who are willing to "offend" and "disgust" and speak truth.

Before you make up your mind about this book, think on this: "Well-behaved women rarely make history." If these reactions are any example, this book is well on its way to making some history.

If you want a book about how to gaze at your crotch with a mirror, or advice to smell and taste your body secretions, (I KID YOU NOT!!!) this book is for you. If you want a serious book about Witchcraft, go somewhere else. This book is going in the trash bin.
