A very interesting post that I want to explore more. I don't know much about her but I'm not impressed with some of the quotes I see, however, they could always be taken out of context. I'm very intrigued . . .
ReplyDeleteYes I felt the same.

I see she has a blog - and her website will be up and running soon - I couldn't find much on her so looking forward to reading her website/blog
ReplyDeletei personally met her when i lived in P.A. and she is an awesome person and i have read all her books and went to her lectures and i dont know what everyone is talking bad about her???
ReplyDeleteI guess we can't judge until you walk a mile in their shoes?? sorry had to say my peace!!
I know that this is an old post, but I just want to state for the record that this author gets a lot of hate for reasons that are frankly, laughable. I mean seriously, just because she doesn't place a full fledged Bornless Rite in her books or go on a meandering treatise on Lucifer or some obscure angelic entity that's supposedly for advanced practitioners doesn't mean that she is a hack. I find that she has a lot of wisdom that shines through, and clearly her ritual and spell work actually works. If it didn't, I doubt that she would have lasted as long as she has with all the haters who seem to think that they are the *real* wiccans (never mind the fact that hosts of polytheists and magick practitioners from other paths would deride all Wiccans as magickal hacks!). Her works are gateway books, and are introductions to Wicca. If it doesn't work for you, then don't use it. If it does, keep it and move on! There are so many different ways of working magic or referencing deity, that honestly the only limits are your imagination and willpower. As for her scholarship, look, she might not get some things right, but that's true of all sorts of authors, some that many of you would burn at the stake, defending! Wicca is in and of itself a disputed religious path, even in the pagan communities so really, can anyone here cast stones at her? I think not.
