Until fairly recently, centuries of suppression of the Old Religion meant that Wiccans and other Witches had to maintain strict secrecy about their practices. Thankfully, we have entered a much more enlightened age, with resources like Wicca for Beginners to help dispel the old misconceptions about Witchcraft and magic. By the end of the book you will have a solid sense for the basics of Wicca and Witchcraft, and, I hope, a stronger desire to pursue this path.
