Rating:  - Step Aside, Scott Cunningham....
I've collected many books on Paganism and Wicca over the past nine years, but this is the only one I have read that mirrors my personal feelings and beliefs; it's almost like the author was reading my mind while he was writing it.

It currently resides on my Favorites bookshelf, and travels with me wherever I go.
Rating:  - Gay friendly but nothing new

That being said, it's interesting to see Ford's ecclectic outlook, and most ... Read More
Rating: - Keeping Wicca Simple
I looked forward to thsi book as Michael Thomas Ford is a great writer and because I am interested in Wicca. He really focuses on the spiritual side rather than the ritualistic side that most authors lean toward. If you are looking for how to call a circle, elememntal guides, etc look elsewhere. Here he is more concerned with conecting with the divine and nature, reminding the reader that Wicca is a religion about living and love.
The gay male slant was also a bonus as we gay men really ... Read More
Rating:  - begone with ye
Rehashed, warmed-over pop Wicca with an unappealing separatist slant. Went straight into my resale pile.
