Overview
Due to the sheer number of Wicca 101 books on the market, many newcomers to the Craft find themselves piecing together their Wiccan education by reading a chapter from one book and a few pages from another. Rather than depending on snippets of wisdom to build a new faith, Wicca for Beginners provides a solid foundation to Wicca without limiting the listener to one tradition or path. Embracing both the spiritual and the practical, Wicca for Beginners is a primer on the philosophies, culture, and beliefs behind the religion without losing the mystery that draws many students to want to learn. Detailing practices such as grounding, raising energy, visualization, and meditation, this book offers exercises for core techniques before launching into more complicated rituals and spellwork.

Author Information
Thea Sabin, a practicing Wiccan since her teens, is a professional editor and writer whose work has appeared in numerous publications, both pagan and nonpagan. She also is a former newspaper astrology columnist. She holds a master's degree in education and has taught a variety of subjects-including writing, editing, high school English and theater, gardening, cooking, crafts, Wicca, and astrology-off and on for more than two decades. She wrote Teaching Wicca and Paganism in the hope that it would help other teachers find the confidence to teach Paganism and get a better start than she did. Thea lives in the Pacific Northwest. A native New Englander, Karyn O'Bryant is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and also has a degree in English literature. She combines these two disciplines in her audiobook narration, where she gets to play with her many voices and dialects. Among her audiobooks are The Mote in Andrea's Eye by David Niall Wilson, The Map of Lost Memories by Kim Fay, and Desire by Amy Wallace. Karyn has several television appearances to her credit, as well as over twenty-five years of experience in stage productions in New England, Germany, and Los Angeles, where she currently resides.
