Lora Hates Spam

by Cyndi Brannen

My first impression of this book was that it was similar to many beginning books on Wicca, but the introduction explains that it's meant to be a training course, practiced over a year and a day, for a solitary self-initiation dedicated to Hecate. After I read the first exercise, I did see a different slant arising.

The lessons, while not offering anything really new, would be good for someone new to this path and the choice of Hecate as a patron goddess is as good as any other. It's a good choice for someone who wants to learn self-development and overcome limitations in their life.

Mostly it felt like the author's personal path, but could be followed as if being guided by a personal teacher. Not a bad choice for someone who is new to Wicca or who wants to become familiar with genuine study rather than television depictions of the path.
