This is certainly a book intended for people who are absolute beginners, but there are much better, more comprehensive beginning witchcraft books out there. This one is simplistic to the point of inaccuracy and strangely prescriptive - especially since it seems to be trying to be very general and not focus on a particular path. An example: "The pentacle should be present when a spell is performed." In fact, not everyone embraces the pentacle, and that's not a problem in eclectic witchcraft. The book has a decidedly Wiccan bent, and I was confused about whether it is about Wicca or not. The author seems to think that Wicca is just a word for witchcraft, which is decidedly NOT the case. I would guess that a large percentage of 21st century witches do not identify as Wiccan. If it is about Wicca, the title should be A Little Book of Wicca. A book about witchcraft should at least address the existence of other paths.

This isn't a bad book, but I don't think that it knows who its audience is. It's misleading for beginners and irritating for those who aren't beginners.

A fun, easy to read, very basic primer on the history and practice of witchcraft. I would've liked information on the Witch's Year celebrations and holidays, and more details on why the moon is seen as such an important influence. But I liked the list of resources - additional books and websites, and I think this is a neat introduction book.

I really enjoyed this cute little book. It had a bit of information about witchcraft, performing spells safely, and information about crystals and other things a white witch could hopefully learn as a beginner.

If you want to start looking into being a white witch, this will definitely help you understand some things.
