Well, Silver RavenWolf has stuffed Teen Witch with enough basic material on Wicca to give anyone a good start to understanding the craft.

    Bleh, look elsewhere if you want an actually good book
    I like the new cover but one star is too good for this pile of yuck.
    I first bought this book back in 1998 when I first got into Wicca, I’m surprised I kept it this…

    Too fluffy and too preteen
    This product is 1 not really very much about wicca, 2 geared for preteens instead of teens 3 its difficulty level is mismatched and 4 its not very well researched.

    allays any fears that might arise
    What does it mean to be a Witch? Is it wearing wicked clothes or being outrageously “out there”? Does it mean doing something that you know your parents forbid?
