Reddit reviews The Wicca Handbook

That's hilarious. I did the same thing but with some fluffy Wicca book I found at a library book sale. I went through it page by page and corrected all the errors, assumptions, and outright lies. I will admit I was also quite liberal with my critiques of the author.

The passage in particular that prompted this was were she gave the cliche railing against "black magick" and then spent a few pages on the usual diatribes about balance and how "everyone has a dark side". Then she proceeded to gloat about how her dark side is a terrifying sight to behold and how those who crossed her paid for it. Ooh, scary!

In another one she gave suggestions on how to hide your altar and tools from those who might persecute you. She used a stint in Egypt and how she hid her tools from her servants as an example. The portrait she painted of the servants is nothing less than what you'd expect from an overly-privileged asshole.

The final one of was her treatise on "sexual healing". She basically describes it as fucking people because you feel bad for them. Much like every other topic she covered, this ended with a personal anecdote about how awesome she was and how many dude's had become obsessed with her because of her magick vagina or something.

I then dropped it off at the book-share shelf at a local coffee shop. I really hope someone out there enjoyed my effort, lol.

I don't practice anymore but when I did, this book really helped me out in the beginning.
