A Witch Alone: The Essential Guide for the Solo Practitioner of the Magical Arts Paperback – 1 Nov. 2009

Good starting point for those interested in the Craft of the Wise.

This second hand book was in excellent condition, so good it looked as though it hadn't been read.

Beautifully and poetically written. As a long time solo hedgewitch I find that she articulates very well things I have been aware of my entire life. I am reading this with a group. She had divided the chapters into short topics to be read from new moon to new moon and has exercises at the end of each chapter. I am not bothering with the exercises, though they are good for someone new to the path. The book is a joy to read.

This book is one of the best I have read. In a clear and concise style Marian Green presents a number of practical ways that meaningful rituals can be created from a basic no-nonsense style. Green does not promise miracles and makes the point that magic and connection with non-ordinary entities only comes with hard work and preparation, and these include taking a more nature-focused and allowing the mind to escape from the clock driven driven aspects of modern life. From where I live it is very difficult to find others to embark upon magical workings, instead it is essential that one is prepared to work alone towards greater connection with spirit entities. Green's book helps the reader to stop and contemplate the world around them, and to seek methods that can actually help increase one's own way to cope with the stresses of consumer society life. This well written book is in a prominent place in my collection and one which I refer to again and again. An excellent read and knowledgeably written.

I love this book. Perfect for the solitary practitioner. She is not only a great writer but she is extremely knowledgeable in this field. There were many things in the book I plan to implement in my life. I will continue to look for this author in the future.

EXCELLENT read!!! This book is fantastic for the beginner solitary practitioner. From history of the tradition to exercises to practice with..extremely informative and easy to comprehend.

Well... I opened the book and was astonished. This book speaks. Really. I saw the sentences, the textes coming out of the book.. talking. It was like magic. So far, so good. The book is very informative, well written and there is nothing wrong to say about it (for this it deserves really 5 stars), but just one thing: I don't like when writers, or fellow pagans, act if like paganism or magic were reserved for only few initiates. She talks down, from time to time, to the readers, as if only she knew what magic is about. It sounds arrogant. I can't say if this was her purpose, but I can say, I didn't like it. The path of Druidry, or even the path of paganism, should not a path of deprivation, where struggles and hard times have to be mastered. If I would have be a martyr, I would have lived as a Christian. Life is challenging, whatever religion or spiritual path you choose. This book gave me the feeling of being wrong by thinking, that life is something you can form yourself. This is quite unfortunate for the great value of the things she writes in her book.
