Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham
3.0
A weird book to listen to instead of read. I would definitely need a print copy in order to put any of this into practice, but it was good for getting a broad overview/introduction. Hearing how to pronounce all the words was helpful.
I didn't feel particularly drawn to his overall practice, but not put off by it either. Some of the ideas (and recipes, etc.) sounded interesting enough to incorporate and I might go back and revisit it.
One problem I had was though he sometimes emphasized that everyone's practice is unique, at other times he made generalized statements that made it seem like "all wiccans believe ____". Some of his ideas seemed out of date or not in line with witches I know or whose blogs I follow, etc.
Overall, it seems like a decent place to start, without too much detail to overwhelm a beginner.
