Despite what opinions people may have towards the author of this book, I consider this book to be a staple when learning about the art of witchcraft. This book does highlight many Wiccan concepts, specifically referencing Seax-Wica which was founded by the author. Although not everyone is Wiccan, this book does offer a lot of insight into Witchcraft such as sigil work, ritual formation, herbalism, divination, healing, and other forms of magick.
The book is split into fifteen interactive lessons which delve into different subjects. Each lesson has a self-reflection and mini quiz to test your prior knowledge and to see what you’ve learned from your readings. In certain lessons, the author gives outlines of rituals and meditations that can be done as a solitary or as a coven. One aspect that I really enjoyed while reading this book is that it is very easy to comprehend. The author also takes time, such as with his section over sigils, to give multiple interpretations so that the reader may choose which way works best for them.
Another aspect that I was delighted to see was the consideration the author took in stating that their views were only one way of looking at the bigger picture. I strongly believe this way of thinking encourages beginners along their path as it puts them at ease with their own beliefs and way of creating magick. I particularly enjoyed the mini reference guides incorporated into this book with herbs, crystals, and runes. When one can’t afford to buy multiple books for certain subjects, this book can be used as a handy guide in those subject areas.
Even though the book is titled Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, the author states that this book does not cover everything in regards to Wicca and Witchcraft. It does, however, cover a lot of material that one may come to find when exploring the Craft. It is always best to read as many books as you can and to continue your studies for as long as you can in order to become more adept.

Although the book I received is black and not blue lol I Absolutely love it so far! If you’re new or even been in it for a while this book is a must have. It’s a work book so it makes it much easier to see where your retaining the information and where your struggling. I’m not new to the craft BUT I have never actually sat down to study it and go into depth with it. Very glad I came across this book.

I have been very excited about this book, and I didn’t want to leave a review until I first started reading it. It arrived faster than it was expected, (: and in great condition. It seems like a new book even though it says used. It has an appendix that leads you to different wicca/pagan/witch covens and or groups. It gives you contact information to get in touch with them. (I’m not sure if the addresses are still relevant, but I thought that was a really cool addition). The book is by lessons and not by chapters, it has work questions for you to answer at the end of each lesson. He incourages the reader to not move on until they know the first lesson truly and answers the questions. He claims that by the end of all the lessons you will have the knowledge (if not more ) of a 3rd degree witch. So far this is a very imformative book, and is easy to read. My husband has even started reading it with great interest. I am very happy with this book. It is a great read and lesson for the beginning practician or a brush up for the experienced witch. I would highly recommend it. Great book for a great price (over $25 in occult stores) I’m going to look into buying all of Raymond bucklands books (: bright blessings.

As a male reader exploring the world of witchcraft, I found Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft to be an incredibly valuable and enlightening resource. Raymond Buckland delivers a well-structured, practical guide that’s both thorough and accessible, making it perfect for beginners and a solid reference for seasoned practitioners alike.
What sets this book apart is its traditional approach—it honors the roots of Wiccan practice while offering clear instructions, exercises, and rituals that anyone can follow. Each chapter builds on the last, and the workbook format really helped me stay engaged and reflect on my journey.
Whether you’re curious about the craft or seeking to deepen your spiritual path, this book is a classic for a reason. Highly recommend to all readers, regardless of gender—this is a must-have for anyone interested in the serious study of witchcraft.

Carina –
Great compilation of information. For more picky buyers, the cover is quite flimsy
Jatavius Clark –
Be mindful- The title should be Wicca instead of Witchcraft. Wiccans do not practice the same as all Witches. If you are leaning towards Wicca this is a must have! Very informative and a wealth of knowledge on Wicca. Raymond gives you a framework- whether forming your own coven, joining a coven and even some solitary translation. This with Scott Cunningham’s Solitary books are excellent if you want to start solo dolo in WICCA.
