Book Reviews of Power of the Witch: The Earth, the Moon, and the Magical Path to Enlightenment
Book Review: Describes a World which makes sense to the Witch!
Summary: 5 Stars
Laurie Cabot uses science and the latest developements in theoretical physics, and physics in general, (which are all proported by such illuminaries as Einstein, Niel Bhor and Stephen Hawking, etc...) to discuss how spells work. Her book describes a Universe which makes sense to the Witch! For this, alone, it is worth the purchase of the book! Her description of The Science Tradition of Witchcraft is fully grounded in fact, as revealed by her bibliography and such authors as Michael Talbot, Fritja Capra, F. David Peat, Itzhak Bentov, PhD. Fred Alan Wolfe and John Gribbin, etc... While her non-"Wiccan" history is certainly very well grounded in fact, her Wiccan history stummbles on the very odd occasion (only once, or maybe twice, as I can currently recall). She is always very well researched.
If you have ever wondered how/why spells work- I can't recommend this book highly enough! Also, if you've wished to explain how spells work to a student, using a logical, rational, left-brained approach, the same applies! extraordinary!
This book deserves 5-stars, and more!
Book Review: A good start
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the book that started me on the Pagan path, and although I'm now following the Heathen tradition, it left a great impact on me. She has to be taken with a grain of salt and a degree of thought. Opinions are strongly presented, and there is a great deal of material based purely on personal experience. Nevertheless, I feel it's still a better primer than many, if not most of the dross published about Paganism in general and Wicca in particular.
And it's still, after near enough eight years, the only meditation form I can use.
