Story
First published in 2008, this is a revised and expanded second edition of the author's well-received book on modern Cornish traditional witchcraft. As Gemma Gary says in her new preface, there is no 'set in stone' organised witch tradition in Cornwall, and folk magic practices have always been unique to their individual practitioners. However, in this excellent book she has managed to expertly draw together a workable new tradition from historical sources and the surviving rites, charms, and folk customs of Cornwall and the West Country.

Scott Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick but also about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much-needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Cunningham's own Book of Shadows.

Very Basic
I was interested in what this book offered based on the description but after reading it I see that it is more of an extended Wikipedia entry very basic information that anyone interested in this topic most likely already knows would only recommend for people who have absolutely no introduction to this topic.

More history than practice, poor audio
only 22 minutes of actual practical application info. pretty much all history and opinion, which is not what I expected by the title.
the audio is not good quality, and has terrible edited bits where it gets loud and the voice is different, lile it was rerecorded and poorly added in... did not enjoy that. the actual narrator is ok

I really enjoyed this book and her neutral approach to the many branches she details.
The narrator left the transitions between sections a bit short and the splicing of other recordings to correct mistakes were very noticeable.

not happy with this audio book at all
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
a better person reading the book !
What do you think your next listen will be?
not sure yet
How could the performance have been better?
she was terrible ! her voice was so flat it was hard to not zone completely out while she talked but then suddenly her voice and become louder .. it sounded like she had recorded the same paragraph a few times and someone mashed them all together with no flow at all ! also she has extremely long pauses between paragraphs i actually checked to see if my phone had died or something. Im glad i did not waste my money on this book sadly i did waste a free credit
What character would you cut from Witchcraft for Beginners?
the book has no characters
Any additional comments?
I wasn't actually very pleased with the contents of the book its self but that is just my person opinion on her topics
