Book Reviews of Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Includes Author's Book of Shadows)
Book Review: One of the three books on my recommended list for beginners.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved this book since before it was published. It gives new folks and solitaries all the information they need to get started and/or practice alone. If this were the only book Scott had written, he would have made a contribution we other writers would be hard pressed to matchBook Review: Solitary Practioner, a MUST on pagan/Wiccan bookshelf!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cunningham's Guide to the solitary practicioner is an absolute must. With this book and "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk any beginning Wicca or pagan can learn the essential basics of practicing non-christian traditional earth based religion.
This book clearly outlines the principles of practice, but leaves specific interpretation up to the reader. This is a must, as in pagan religions there is truly no "right way". The standing stones book of shadows is an excellent guide to creating your own solitary tradition. What is truly impressive about this book is that all of the information can easily be trnsformed into group or coven practice.
An excellent supplement text is "Incense,Oils, and Brews", also by Cunningham. It will help spur your creativity with wonderful recipes for all kinds of concoctions from alter oil to magical soaps and powders!
Whether you are an initiate/novice, or third level priestess, this book can offer you insite into the solitary practictioner's world. I can not praise this book highly enough. I have been practicing for many years, and no longer am I solitary. Yet, my dog eared copy of Solitary Practioner is always a welcome sight, comfort, and wealth of basic information.

Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for beginners and those who cannot find others in their area who share their beliefs. He presents his view, but leaves it up to you to decide for yourself how you want to worshipBook Review: The best book on the subject I've yet to find!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book for the beginner! It has information on everything from the very nature of magic to the ritual tools to reincarnation. Cunningham's style is very easy. He is aware that many of his readers are likely to be beginners and is careful not to try and force anything on his audience. His book is uplifting and informative! I give it my highest recommendation. It comes complete with charts, recipies, and a Book of Shadows in the backBook Review: Outstanding guide for the novice and expert alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
Scott Cunninghham's ability to relate the essence of Wicca to the reader is phenomenal. On a subject that can be full of catch phrases and repetitiveness the author manages to keep the reader well informed and interested at the same time. The book is user friendly, containing rituals that are simple and usable. This book is chocked full of useful information for the novice and the expert alike
