Living Wicca

I used to read a lot of books by Scott Cunningham back in the 90s. As I needed a refresher on certain subjects, I came back to his books. This book is another staple. It’s very useful for a beginner as well as someone who’s been doing this for a while. Scott’s books are easy to read and provide essential information. Definitely a must have in a practitioner’s library.

Love anything by Scott Cunningham. Ignore the negative reviews. There's to much hate in the world to be arguing over whose way is right or what's authentic. Scott's books are great especially for the new solitary witch. He covers everything you need to get started on your path. And, he explains it in really easy to understand language. He is the first pagan author I read over twenty years ago. I still have most of his books and continue to use them to this day.

I’ve read many of Scott Cunningham’s books, but “Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner” really helped to solidify my understanding of this religion. I really like how the author takes the readers step-by-step—not just to introduce readers to the various subjects within Wicca (he did that in his prior book “Wicca”), but really explains them in simple terms. As always, I appreciate Cunningham’s ethics, as a practitioner and as a teacher of others; he’s honest and open. The way that he writes, the reader feels like (or, at least I did) that he’s talking directly to the person reading. Cunningham encourages people to continue studying and reading, but above all, experiencing the world fully. His approach to Wicca is truly a gentle one.

I once read, so true, "No War Has Ever Been Waged In The Name of Wicca." I learned a lot by reading this book

to Cunningham's earlier work. He states as much in the book itself. This particular book is geared toward making Wicca a part of everyday life for the practitioner. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is the lack of explanation of the significance of the pentacle. This is the central religious symbol of Wicca and is rich in mystic symbolism that Cunningham failed to address. Other than that, this is a great book for deepening a person's understanding of Wicca and forming a practice for the solitary practitioner, including building a solitary tradition.

Hay muchas reseñas en inglés, así que prefiero hacer la mía en español; especialmente en caso de que alguna persona de habla hispana se presente por aquí y este interesado en este libro. Después de "Wicca, una guía para el practicante solitario" este libro es el que más esperaba leer de Cunningham, es un excelente libro y lo recomiendo mucho a cualquier persona que practique Wicca, ya sea un nuevo practicante o alguien que ya lleva tiempo en el sendero. Es un libro que trae muchas sugerencias, lecturas recomendadas, observaciones y consejos que te pueden ayudar a mejorar tu práctica como wiccan y vivir tu (nuestra) religión día con día. Este es uno de esos libros que te impulsan a leer más y más, a cuestionarte lo que lees y sobre todo a llevarlo a la práctica. Definitivamente "Living Wicca" se ha convertido en uno de mis libros favoritos, y lo recomiendo ampliamente, así que si pueden ponerle la mano encima, no lo duden. Creo que el único "pero" que puedo encontrar es el hecho de que no se encuentre traducido al español, ya que eso lo hace más inaccesible a aquellos paganos de habla hispana; aún así puedo decir que el estilo de escritura de Cunningham es muy sencillo, fácil de entender y no creo que presente mayor dificultad para entenderlo, aún si no dominan el idioma al 100%.

This was my first book on Wicca when I became interested in it, and its easy, approachable style made learning about this wonderful religion a real pleasure. I have re-read it several times over the years and always try to remember the author's respect and clear joy in his faith, as well as his reminders that humor and fun do not have to be checked at the door (something so lacking in a great many other religions these days). If you are interested in Wicca, but not necessarily in joining a coven, this is a great place to start.

I never got to read this book all the way through without a good portion of my collection being destroyed. I will say this though. Anything that Cunningham puts out, I love. Through his writing you can tell he is a very gentle and caring man who is passionate about the Craft. He never gets dogmatic and he never speaks down to the reader. He is your best friend and teacher from cover to cover. He always has been and always will be my favorite writer when it comes to the Craft. I wish I could have met him while he was still alive. Rest in peace my friend.

This book is being really helpful for me that I’m just becoming part of Wicca

I wanted this so excited to read it

Scott Cunningham is fantastic! This book is one of the very best on Wiccan practice. He gives the practitioner tons of useful advice, while also allowing them to have freedom of thought and express in their practice. He gives down to earth, practical information on Wicca, while keeping it lovingly magical. Very easy to read and to apply.

Un buen libro para todas aquellas personas que no tienen acceso a un coven de una tradición determinada. Que lastima que no esté publicado en español, a ver si alguna editorial se anima a publicarlo. No todo el mundo habla inglés. Todos los libros de Scott Canningham son geniales.

A splendid book that has a Magic of ist own. Easy to read from an incredible writer in best english... Thanking you! Blessed be
