Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good for teensA good one to recommend to anyone interested in Wicca, and suitable for the teen-market, this book contains a good mix of common sense and magical recipes. Basic Wiccan concepts are explained, alongside motherly advice on hygiene and diet. The lists of colour and scent correspondences which will remain useful even once the reader has done further reading, and activities such as the making of charm-bags and candles will allow the reader to begin making magic at once. There are also recipes and suggested menus for each of the Wiccan festivals. Rating:  - Wonderful book!As a parent who is interested in witchcraft this book has become a true jewell. It gave me great suggestions on how to celebrate Halloween and we in our family ended up having a smashing Halloween that was rounded off with a great feast. This book gives such good ideas on what to do and what not to when you have kids and still want to be true to your believes and cook a treat, or to just do a ritual, or play a game with your kids. Mostly this isn't a cookery book for parents, as mainly it has lots of other ideas in it, but being a mother the sections where it does have something aimed for us parents I take great notice of them and appreaciate them greatly. It's a great book for the whole year around, ideas for things to cook, how to celebrate sabbats, or for gifts to make in your own kitchen for Christmas or birthdays. I've had so much use of this book and it's so easy to use too. Rating: - What do you expect from a book with "Real Witches" in the title?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. Rating: - Nice book to read and have in my collectionI 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. Rating: - another marvellous book by Kate WestThis 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.
