Which Witch is Which?
Patricia Telesco
(Reviewer - Rev. Marie D. Jones)
2004 New Page Books
ISBN: 1564147541
A Concise Guide to Wiccan & Neo-Pagan Paths & Traditions.
Associate Reviewer Rev. Marie D. Jones writes:
For those seeking to follow the earth-based traditions of Wicca, witchcraft & neo-paganism, the sheer number of different groups out there today can not only intimidate but confuse. Which Witch is Which? is a comprehensive “field guide” for both solitary & group practitioners of these fast-growing spiritual traditions that can help pinpoint the beliefs, rituals & common goals of the most popular groups available.
Patricia Telesco, author of An Enchanted Life: An Adept's Guide to Masterful Magick & Kitchen Witch's Guide to Divination, as well as over 50 metaphysical books, edited & compiled this listing of traditions that includes the groups origins, histories, practices, requirements for neophytes & even some actual descriptions provided by members of each tradition. All of this combines to create the perfect reference tool for anyone who may want to find a spiritual path that uniquely fits their own personal needs.
Which Witch is Which? features plenty of resources for further contact, including email & website addresses, & also offers advice & contributions from some of the most well-known authors & practitioners of these traditions: Raven Grimassi, Selena Fox & Ashleen O'Gaea among them.
Those already familiar with Wiccan/Pagan traditions will find this a priceless guide to understanding other traditions, & those who are just now exploring their options will find a path that calls to them specifically from this insider's guide. There is also plenty of information on choosing a mixed tradition that appeals to those who like to create their own paths not yet taken by others.
Which Witch is Which? is also a great book for people of other religious traditions who wish to understand the true nature of earth-based philosophies, & who often only get a “Christianized” view, & a terribly false view, from the media & news.
Understanding the spiritual beliefs of others helps bring tolerance to a world that desperately needs it. With wonderful resource tools like Which Witch is Which?, that understanding is only a page or two away.
