Raymond Buckland is one of the fathers of the modern Wiccan movement. Directed by Gerald Gardner himself to bring Wicca to the United States, Buckland rose to prominence as a leader in the movement. Still active and well-known in the Wiccan community, he is the author of many books about the Craft.
This book is 176 pages, measures 134mm x 210mm, and is an illustrated paperback. Written by one of the fathers of the modern Wiccan movement, this book covers the background and basics of Wicca, Saxon deities, rituals, spells and the old Saxon alphabet. Buckland outlines the practice of Wicca as either a solitary, with his oath of Self Dedication, or as part of a self-created coven, one shorn of the temptation to foster an abusive leadership. This is the perfect foundation or introduction to further study of Wicca.
 

Author: Raymond Buckland was initiated into Gardnerian Wicca which he introduced into the US in the 1960’s. With a vast list of books under his belt, including fiction and non-fiction, Buckland has been regarded as one of the leading experts in the Wiccan field, especially in neo paganism.
