I was really disappointed with "Wicca" by Anastasia Greywolf. While I was initially intrigued by the subject matter, I found the book to be lacking in substance. The information provided was vague and repetitive, and it felt like a lot of the content was simply copied and pasted from other sources. Additionally, there were several grammatical errors and typos throughout the book, which made it difficult to take seriously. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about Wicca.
2. John - 1/5
As someone who was curious about Wicca, I decided to give "Wicca" by Anastasia Greywolf a try, and boy, was I disappointed. The book is nothing more than a shallow introduction to the subject, lacking any depth or real understanding. The author's writing style felt amateurish, and I found it difficult to stay engaged with the material. It seemed like the book was rushed and not well-researched, as the information provided was often contradictory and inconsistent. Save your money and look for a more authoritative guide if you're truly interested in Wicca.

I had high hopes for "Wicca" by Anastasia Greywolf, as I wanted to learn more about this ancient practice. However, the book left me feeling underwhelmed. The information provided was rudimentary and lacked the detail I was hoping for. It felt like the author was skimming the surface and didn't provide enough depth to truly understand Wicca. Additionally, the book seemed disorganized and jumped from one topic to another without a clear structure. Overall, this book did not meet my expectations and I would not recommend it to those seeking a comprehensive guide to Wicca.
