The name of Scott Cunningham is widely known in Wicca circles around the world. Many modern Wiccans have been taught from his writings on Nature Magic. One of his most popular books, Wiccan Magic: A Modern Witch's Handbook, is a great guide for those who decide to study magic on their own to create their own individual style of work. Here you will find everything a beginner witch needs to know about the "craft": learn the basic principles of Wicca, discover the secrets of magical techniques, learn how to work with magical tools and create your own rituals and spells.
The author's Book of Shadows is included in a separate section. It contains ritual schemes, spell texts, as well as various magical information: the properties of herbs and essential oils, recipes for elixirs and incense, methods for making runes and their meanings, etc. You can use the author's achievements in your practice, and then create own Book of Shadows.
