darkbooks.org began in early 2008 I am happy to donate my time to providing you this resource, I would also like to note, that, although I try, I do not always have enough time to deal with the site, including, unfortunately, I do not always have time to answer all letters, because I have to earn money for a living. If you can financially help me, it would free me from the worries of earning money for living, perhaps partially, but ideally completely, then all 100% of my time could be devoted to the site. Also I do pay monthly web server/files storage and hosting costs to keep this site on the air. Please consider making a donation to help me continue this activity and devote more time to it or at least offset the cost of paying for storage/hosting. Even a small contribution helps!

Wicca Revealed is a complete course in the fundamentals of Wicca. While there are a lot of books that claim to do this, Wicca Revealed does it in a different way. Most of the books that are out there are designed to be worked through in a few weeks. Some offer bits and pieces of Wicca and allow the students to make up a great deal on their own.

Initiatory covens, on the other hand will usually require an individual spend a year or so studying the particular tradition, acquiring knowledge of the various rituals and seasonal celebrations.

Wicca Revealed stands somewhere between these two methods. It's possible to read the book in a short amount of time, but to work through it as designed, it is a full year course.

For those that are interested, this book goes hand-in-hand with the online course at Magicka School, but could work quite well as a self-study course, or as a text-book for an eclectic coven.

Wicca Revealed consists of twelve chapters, designed to be worked through one chapter per month. The chapters include:

* General Beliefs, Practices and History.

* The Goddess and God of the Witches

* Ceremonial Basics

* Magical Tools and Garb

* The Art of Magic

* Esbats and Moon Magic

* The Lesser Sabbats, Part one: The Solstices

* The Lesser Sabbats, Part Two: The Equinox

* The Greater Sabbats, Part One: Imbolc and Beltane

* The Greater Sabbats, Part Two: Lughnassadh and Samhain

* Wiccan Beliefs about the Levels of Being

* Self Dedication, Initiation and some Final Thoughts

Each chapter includes exercises and research projects designed to improve the student's knowledge and experience. It's expected that the student should spend real time with these projects and not simply and quickly push something out. There are a variety of meditations designed to allow the student to experience Wicca rather than merely experience book learning.

The attributions and notes section of each chapter are an important tool in their own right and will permit any serious student of Wicca to build an admirable occult library. I wouldn't recommend that anyone work through Wicca Revealed without consulting what resources are outlined in the notes that they have access to. The texts referenced in the notes are some of the most important and well-written literature in Paganism.

Wicca Revealed does one thing that I've not seen in most other books about Wicca. It presents challenges to Wicca that one who wishes to practice this religion is likely to encounter. It challenges the student to understand these criticisms and to consider them. It's in facing these criticisms that one is best able to determine if Wicca, indeed, is the path one truly wishes to follow.

Wicca Revealed is not a text for the casual student. It's not a book for those who have watched "The Craft" and want to be witches. It's not light reading, but it's not unapproachable. It should be easy to understand by anyone with a legitimate high-school education. Wicca Revealed is a bit more challenging than Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" and far more in depth than Ravenwolf's "To Ride a Silver Broomstick". Then again, it fulfills a different purpose than either of these.

Pino Longchild seems to have done something that I've not seen in other books on Wicca. He's managed to put into print the essence of an initiatory form of Wicca something that offers the substance of an initiatory coven's training to those who may not have access to a teaching coven.

If you are going to use this book as intended, I would only recommend one diversion from the way it is laid out. I would do chapters 1-6 in order. With Chapters 7-10, however, unless you are working through the program online, I would try to celebrate the Sabbats at the appropriate times. If one of these is approaching while you are working through the first six chapters, read ahead a bit and do what you can to celebrate these at their appointed time. You can always leave the exercises for when you actually work the particular chapter, but during your first year, it's important to at least try to celebrate the festivals when they come about.

That, perhaps is the greatest difference between this book and working in a coven. Many covens will have a student start their period of study at a specific point during the year and learn the craft in a certain order. With Wicca Revealed, the author does not know when an individual is beginning, so it's impossible to describe the Sabbats in such an order. So, when they come about, and if you've got the book, skip ahead a little and understand what it is that is being celebrated during your first year of study.

To sum up, if you're looking for a marvelous self-study introduction to Wicca Wicca Revealed certainly will fit the bill. Being marketed through Lulu, you can purchase the book for a very reasonable fee, or you can download it in the even less-expensive electronic format. And while the book itself is a marvelous work, if you're at all able to do use it, the online course, through the interaction with other students on the message boards can bring you as close to a coven-based course of study that you can get without being an actual member of a coven.
