Wicca for Beginners

Wicca for Beginners, by Thea Sabin, Fundamentals of Philosophy and Practice series, published by Llewellyn Publications, 2022 (9780738707518 pbk).

Due to the sheer number of Wicca 101 books on the market, many newcomers to the Craft find themselves piecing together their Wiccan education by reading a chapter from one book, a few pages from another. Rather than depending on snippets of wisdom to build a new faith, Wicca for Beginners provides a solid foundation to Wicca without limiting the reader to one tradition or path.

Embracing both the spiritual and the practical, Wicca for Beginners is a primer on the philosophies, culture, and beliefs behind the religion that does not lose the mystery that draws many students to want to learn.  This book details practices, such as grounding, raising energy, visualization, and meditation, and offers exercises for core techniques before launching into more complicated rituals and spellwork.

This book was a finalist for the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Wiccan/Pagan Book.
