Wicca For One
by Raymond Buckland
(Citadel Press; 2005) 278 pages

After reading this totally redundant offering, you have to ask yourself, “Is Ray Buckland, one of the most celebrated Wiccan authors, hurting for money?” This book really had a hard time keeping my interest. It’s got a pretty cover and that’s about it as far as I’m concerned.

This is just a shortened form of his classic big blue covered “Compleat Book of Witchcraft” adopted for a singular individual. Whoopee. Definitely NOT worth the price of fourteen dollars and ninety-five cents in my opinion.

The chapterson Magic were culled from his previous works such as “Practical Color Magic” and his candle magic book. Gods Ray, with all your years of practice and your lifetime of study, can’t you offer something more to bite on than this pathetic piece???

This shows me that even big name authors lack the balls to delve deeper into the mysteries OR are too damn stingy to share anything deeper than surface knowledge that can be found anywhere else. For instance both Marian Green and Scotty Cunningham both wrote excellent books on the solitary path years ago. Fine time for Mr.Ray to jump on the bandwagon long after the fact.

All in all, I rate this book 1 star out of a possible 5 and I’m being MORE than fair here. If I didn’t respect Mr. Buckland so much, I’d be calling for him to be drawn and quartered. Save your money and spend it elsewhere. If you already bought this book, give it away to some newbie.
