Nowadays, of course it's terribly unfashionable to be homophobic, and no self-respecting author who's made a lot of money from another book on witchcraft is going to admit it publicly, but Mr. V is just keeping up the original line of the 2nd generation Wiccans (the founder of Seax Wicca and the dude who helped make Mr. V famous). There may be a lot of new people interested in the Seax path who are unfamiliar with the stance towards homosexuality of it's founder, rapidly publicly changed to help shift books! Three cheers for honesty.

Mr. Ventimiglia started Catholic, spent a few years dabbling in other religions and when people in those other religions disagreed with him he returned to Catholicism. Read his own opinions on his personal web page at:

For a book on Wicca I would look for something written by someone serious about it and not some charismatic dabbler who was taking a few years off from Catholicism.
