Thank you so much for sharing that. I really enjoyed what he had to say about the way we are heading and what we need to accomplish. I long for that as well.

Thanks! That was really interesting.

hmmph i agree with alot of the sentiment. Never really thought much of Ol Ray, but i guess hes just as disgusted as i am.

Buckland's 'big blue book' (Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft) was my first introduction to formalized Wiccan rituals. I appreciated how he included a solitary self-dedication ritual in it. I followed his guidelines faithfully for several years & then ended up taking an in-depth class that used the Witches' Bible Compleat by the Farrars & I found it very hard to switch to a mindset of a twin God (not to mention calling the Goddess Aradia from that chap book by Leland).

I always suggest Buckland's book to people looking for an introduction to Wicca - and he's got a decent guide to mediumship out there, too (The Spirit Book).
