   Additional Information  
 
  From traditional notions such as the idea that a mirror facing a door is a magical portal, to contemporary ideas like the construction of a magical collage from magazine clippings, Galenorn successfully combines the old with the new in this accessible guide to witchcraft. Emphasis on witchcraft, because from the start, Galenorn firmly states that she is a witch, not Wiccan, and while she has nothing against Wicca, she strongly feels the two are not the same. While this viewpoint may consternate some readers, she has a point. Compared to the methods of most covens, her work is much less formal, which many beginners or solitary practitioners will find attractive and which also makes this a good book to read if you find yourself in a magical rut.
