Green Witchcraft III: The Manual Reviews
-
Basically this book is a review of the first two with little homework assignments with each chapter. It was fairly good but it seem very repetitive of the first two books. I wonder if this book was really necessary to make due to the repetitive information.

I need to obtain the companion book with the herb guide, what i was mainly after...

Part 3 of her Green Witchcraft series. While I enjoy reading with her books, I don't always agree with everything she writes, particularly when she relates some information but doesn't give an explanation as to why. For instance she relates how her mother and other's have told her that no one should work with opals unless it was their birthstone. She did give a list of alternative stones/gems to use. But WHY is not allowed unless its one's birthstone? I would have liked the background story as to why. I have always been one to challenge the 'why's' of established and commonly accepted practices and cultural norms. Aside from that, I feel she does a good job at presenting the reader with a variety of information. You may not like or agree with everything she writes but you can still gleam some valuable knowledge within these pages be it the basics like altars, tools of the craft to divination to creating elixirs or working with gems to circle casting. There's a smattering of numerous topics. I consider it well worth reading. Mind you, even books most people love to hate, I am always able to sift through the pages and find some value within. It comes down to a matter of perspective. I've never regretted buying this series.

I didn’t realise that this book was meant to be like a course accompaniment to the first and second ones and yet, I liked that about it. The book has some tasks and assignments to do in between chapters to solidify what was spoken about in the first two books and this one. It wasn’t as chock full of information as the other two, but that was to be expected because it introduces itself as a companion instead of the third in a series. Overall, I still feel like these three books should make their way into my witchcraft book collection because they are fantastic introductions and references.

There's something about Moura's sensibility that I like but overall this wasn't a terribly useful book for me.

Another enjoyable read.

Part of a series.

I reread these books all the time and have many tabbed pages. I liked the way Ann Moura allowed for flexibility in ritual.
She helped me to see that simply lighting a candle and some incense could be spiritual. -
Her scholarship is questionable, but Ann Moura was my introduction to Paganism, and her work will always have a special place in my heart. Be aware that this is not Secular Witchcraft, it's very much Wicca. As 101 Wicca books go, you could probably do worse, just keep a skeptical eye.

the book was good but to me it was just a re-hash of the first two in the series and really ddin't need to be read if you read the first two
