The Learned Arts of Witches & Wizards: History and Traditions of White Magic

I love this book for its beautiful presentation, simplicity to read, fine layout and just the feeling of it. It holds a lot of memory for me and opened the door to Wicca for me. As other reviewers have stated, not all of the information in this book is accurate. This book should be taken for what it is, a beautiful book and some good information as long as you have another book like Wicca by Scott Cunningham or Witchcraft for Beginners by Teresa Moorey to read straight after it.

I have practiced white magick for almost 6 years now. I would highly recommend this book for beginners in witchcraft and white magick. It is also great for anyone who is just interested in reading about the craft because it uses easy to read terms and language. It discusses a little bit about everything from the history of witchcraft to how to performs spells to rituals and nature. It also has some very nice artwork and pictures to go along with it. Overall great presentation and explanations.

Even though the thought of witch craft had intrigued me for a long time, I never seemed to pursue the interest. Until I saw this book. It's simplicity and beauty grabbed me and in a completly non-intimidating way brought me into the world of magic. It touched on the basics of so many of my questions, such as the history and differences of various forms of witch craft, the definitions and meanings of many elements of magic and a starting knowledge of the practicing wiccan. This wonderful book has left me actively and confidently pursuing more knowledge. I look forward to reading it again.

This book is for people who want to find true beauty in being a witch. It (by just buying it) brings up self-esteem and makes learning about it fun. The pictures are beautiful and I have trusted this book to be factual and not made up. I recomened this book!

A must have for anyone seroius about anything having any remote similarity with the mystical. Get it. Now.
