A Wiccan Bible: Exploring the Mysteries of the Craft From Birth to Summerland

A.J. Drew presents a reference work on Wicca organized around three life stages: Maiden and Master (covering creation, wiccaning, and self-dedication); Mother and Father (initiation, handfasting/handparting, and the Wheel of the Year); and Crone and Sage (community, the world, and death). Drew does not attempt to dictate religious dogma or routine. He notes that the title deliberately does not begin with "the," emphasizing that this is one approach among others. The book addresses issues that a person's religion should consider and shows how Drew has found answers through modern Wiccan practice based on ancient principles. The work combines mythology and science, presenting a life journey into a religion that integrates old world ritual with new world science. It explores both the joyful aspects of a religious path and its capacity to help practitioners accept and manage sorrow. The book explains ritual practice and its role in everyday life, demonstrating how Wicca addresses various life issues and the solutions Drew has discovered within the tradition.
