This was a very Interesting read, considering it was written during a time when topics such as these were taboo... Cunningham had a way of writing that expanded the reader's confidence to trust in themselves and their personal discoveries. His writings were NOT - "follow my way as the only way." No, he believed in having readers ask questions within themselves and search for what feels right to them..

Another GREAT book in his collection!Not only easy to read but so honest in his writings and a real joy to read!If your interested in Wicca, Pagan, Spells or just spirituality... read this book!Enjoy it you shall!

I'd somehow forgotten how utterly approachable Cunningham's writing style makes his books. He's non-threatening and friendly, two excellent traits for someone who wrote a lot of introductory books for wicca. Even though it's supposed to be a "further guide", a lot of the stuff is the same from his first book "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner". He does expand on some concepts and adds in things like creating your own tradition, but a lot of it seems repetitive. Also the longer I read

A short and illuminating read for the lovers of spiritual practices.

I'm not a Wiccan but Scott Cunningham's books are an integral part of my understanding of (my own branch of) Paganism and spirituality in general. What this man has done for all of Paganism cannot be measured or explained with mere words. I appreciate especially his consistency, open-mindedness, and daring to approach subject matters from different/"non-traditional" angles. This further guide for the solitary practitioner completes his "Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner" quite nicely,...

I would recommend this book over the Wicca: a Solitary Guide because of its chapter on creating your own tradition. I think being able to create your own spiritual tradition and walk your own path is something very important and useful for those new to Paganism as a whole, not just Wicca. Great read.

Rating: 4.6 / 5I think everyone's first question for this book is the same as my own "What does this have that Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner did not have?"Well, the truth is, just to state this right away, there is quite a bit of repeat in this from Cunningham's first publication, as mentioned above. So no, it's not 100% new information or anything like that. Rather, it's building up on the information that he already set down in his previous work. Wicca is the foundation and intr...

A much better read on Wicca than many others that I have encountered. Though shorter than many books I have read on the subject, I feel as though I learned more about the history and legends of the God and Goddess.The author shuns the use of harmful magic and repeats "harm no one" in this book. A solid rule that many religions have but few parishioners follow. Though I am not a practitioner of Wicca, I found there to be several instances of a self-help lesson to be learned within these chapters,...

A great resource for solitary wiccans. I found Part III of this book to be extremely helpful and a great resource for those still learning/ in the beginning stages of wicca. The book of shadows section is great for those wanting to create a BOS but don't knowing where to start or what to include.

Much less informative than his previous book. This one definitely emphasizes more of the religious aspects of wicca and seems to only scratch surface level topics, such as meditating, praying regularly to the god and goddess. While I loved his first book, this one seemed so shallow.

This book is rather helpful to those of us that are new to the craft and want to have a more basic daily practice where we can have a much more intimate relationship with the God and the Goddess. It answers a lot of questions that none of the books out there go into detail about. Most of the books basically just assume that you use your own common sense when it comes to certain aspects of daily practice. But this book on the other hand actually gives you insight into things that you never though...

I came across this book some years (6 I think) after "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" (by Cunningham also) had been published, which was the book that put me on my chosen path. By then I had had the chance to read work from other prolific Wiccan and/or Pagan authors, past & present, but by far Cunningham's writing style, information and how he relays it to his captive audience and also his passion for the subject makes him hands down my favourite author to date. Basically it is a

This is a brilliant sequel to Cunningham's 1st book and still has more basic info, but not as much as the 1st.I like the way he encourages you to create your "own tradition" in Witchcraft, whilst also creating your own spells and deciding which rituals to follow etc.Remember this is just The beginning of The journey and any new Witch/wiccan needs to read and study many books before deciding what tradition, if any? To practice? The first 2 BASIC Scott Cunningham's books aré a great place for anyo...

I found this book to be a very good follow up to Cunningham's "Wicca. A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner". It is more than just expanded information on the previous book. One of the aspects of this book that I like best is that it deals more with the validity of solitary practice, telling the reader not to feel let down if coven wiccans don't accept you right away as wiccan. It's a very informative, enjoyable, and easy to read book.

4.5 stars

Scott Cunningham was not only a luminary for Wicca but in my humble opinion he was a luminary for spirituality in general. Ask any magical person and all they have is praise for Scott Cunningham. That is very rare.Scott Cunningham was versed in all sorts of magic. His specialty was Wicca. This book continues were his book "Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner" left off. since many Wiccan and magical practitioners in fact have no access to an actual coven are reliant upon self teaching. The solita...

Difficulty Level: BeginnerThis is kind of like a workbook to go with the book A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (let's call it AGFTSP). It reviews some of the concepts from AGFTSP but walks you through them step-by-step, breaking them down into bite-sized pieces. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to create your own Wiccan tradition and a Book of Shadows to go with it.While my first thought was that experienced practitioners would be the ones creating our own traditions, this book

A pretty nice complementary novel that touches on subjects most Wicca books don't mention.

As always the author writes so wonderfully simple that anyone can grasp what he's saying and that's what first pulled me into his work because he was easy for the newbie that I was to understand. Now I read his work because I enjoy it. I loved the prayers in this book and the stuff on the Sabbats. I love what he says about the God and Goddess. My favorite part of this book is how he says to do what feels best to you. Which I like, because not everything in Wicca will fit every single person so I...

Wicca has always interested me. I am not a solitary practitioner of Wicca. However, I do think that this book would serve as good reference, supplementary reading for people who are interested in learning more about becoming solitary practitioners of Wicca. This book assumes that the reader has already learned the basics of Wiccan beliefs and practices, not a sufficient instructional guide to becoming a solitary practitioner on its own, but, as its subtitle reads, a further guide for the solitar...
