What a horrible book!! Silver Ravenwolf does not know how to help teens who want to explore and become wiccans. Telling them to lie to their parents and how to trick them so that you can "become" a Wiccan is not something any responsible adult, parent, or wiccan should be doing. If you want a good beginner Wiccan book, read Scott Cunningham. He won't insult your intelligence or kill your relationship with your parents.

Fun and informative for teens.

Silver Ravenwolf is one of the foremost writers of Wiccan instruction. Her views are very mild and she gives instructions with both sides of the coin. I have even heard her called "fluff bunny" because she doesn't advocate the darker arts. This is a great start for girls who are in junior high or high school who don't want to do anything other than become informed about the path of Wicca. I don't advocate all of her methods, but as with anything you read, take what you need and toss the rest. Wicca is a path for responsible people, so she tries to write to that end. I would give it to my daughter if she were interested and of the above age.

With permission from a parent, I gave this to one of my students. I let the parent look at it first and she thought it was fine for her 10-year-old daughter. There are charms and recipes in this book. Even a candle "spell" that my student used. She really enjoyed the book since it's mostly poems and nothing negative.
