"Wicca Demystified" is a clear guide through one of the most talked-about and fastest-growing religious movements in the world. With Wicca's rapid rise has come a torrent of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and untruths about Wiccan beliefs and practices. Longtime Wiccan high priest Bryan Lankford explains the history, beliefs, and practices of Wicca in a context everyone can understand. Among the topics he covers are why Wiccans worship a goddess as well as a god; how Wiccans celebrate holidays; the Wiccan view of death, birth, and the nature of deity; right and wrong from a Wiccan perspective; witch stereotypes and nasty rumors about Wiccans; the Wiccan sacred text; and much more. "Wicca Demystified" goes beyond the simple mechanics of Wiccan worship to provide a glimpse into the heart and soul of the religion.
