A new Book of Shadows that is somehow still old, "Back to the Beginnings" draws on today’s best scholarship of the ancient world. The result is a system of Wicca with a firm knowledge of where it comes from and with the ability to touch ancient sources. Each part of the book is explained, both as to its source and as to its meaning, making this a book for those new to Wicca and those who have practiced it for years.
