About this ebook
“A great reference that explains the ins and outs of one of the oldest recognized traditions in Wicca . . . a marvelous find” (Hermetic Library).
Everything is here in this most comprehensive and revealing work on the principles, rituals and beliefs of modern witchcraft, including: The Sabbats, Casting & Banishing the Magic Circle, The Complete Book of Shadows, The Great Rite, Initiation Rites, Consecration Rites, Spells, Witches’ Tools, Witchcraft & Sex, Running a Coven, Clairvoyance, and Astral Projection.
A Witches’ Bible is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.
“A very good overview and outline of how formal covens work, the structure behind them and a basic framework for these Rites within Gardnerian Wicca . . . this book alone can help those interested in this Path in completely avoiding the mass produced, watered down dreck that passes for mainstream witchcraft books.” —ombre-portee.com

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Reasonable resource on rituals, spellwork, Sabbats, and related topics from well-known Alexandrian initiates. Incomplete, as these kinds of books tend to be, but useful. It's geared toward coven work, though solitary practitioners may find it useful too. Better than most comparable titles on the market, though admittedly that's not saying much.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This isn't my favourite book on the topic of witchcraft, though I still keep it on my bookshelf as it can be handy reference for Sabbats and other pagan topics. Perhaps the book would be more suited to those who identify as Wicca and/or do coven work.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is pretty much the most complete published work on Alexandrian Wicca around (or at least of which I am aware). Unfortunately, that doesn't make it good, considering the fact that the information is extremely incomplete, and the lore is extremely flawed.
