 What do you expect from a book with "Real Witches" in the title? December 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Oh, lighten up! It's a book with "real witches" in the title, in friendly font - it's pretty obvious it's for beginners.
I didn't find Kate West's style condescending, but rather, maternal. Her audience in this book is more for those taking baby steps into the craft, and I think her style (and some of the more practical advice throughout) will encourage plenty of readers to read on and grow in the craft in a healthy way. Too many books for beginning wiccans tend to be long on the author navelgazing about mist-crowned hills and faerieland and mysterious-sounding esoterica, but are short on practical advice for someone who wants to live as a wiccan in the here and now. This book definitely tips the balance a bit the other way.
It's a book for beginners, through and through, but there's plenty here for the more experienced as well. The recipes are terrific. However, if you are a more experienced wiccan, you might find yourself wading through a lot of the Noddy-style breakdown of ritual and sabbat.
In short - great for beginners, particularly young or nervous beginners, with hidden treasure and wisdom flashing through for the more experienced.
Nice book to read and have in my collection September 10, 2007

I think the only problem I have is alot of the Oil mixes contain some of the MOST expensive oils, they are also very hard to get ahold of. Other than that the book is very good.
another marvellous book by Kate West April 25, 2007

This is another very good book by Kate West. She writes in a very accessible manner, without patronising her reader. I found it most useful, and am working my way through the book. Sometimes it is hard to do some of the spell work because the city does not give you the space, time, or the ability to be close to nature, but... it is still one of those books that you really need if you are serious about the craft.
another great Kate West book March 24, 2007

Yet again Kate West delivers another superb book full of information on wicca and natural living. This one must be my favourite of her books and the recipes in this book are great for anyone who wants a try at making their own cosmetics. Highly recommended.
Perfect !! January 27, 2007

Yet again Kate West produces another piece of perfection. I am awaiting yet another of hers to arrive to add to my collection. Her books are great to have handy for quick reference. Mine are in the kitchen with the other cook books.
Kate's writing flows easily and is perfect for beginners and experienced wiccans alike. I cannot emphasize enough, how enjoyable her books are to read and practice
