Whoops. I finished this book and forgot to post the review!
Book Title and Author: The Elements of Ritual by Deborah Lipp
Status? : Finished
My overall rating of the book : 8/10
How does this book relate to my magickal practice? This is a wonderful book with all you need to know about writing your own Wiccan rituals.
My personal thoughts/opinions: I wish I had this book way back in the 90’s when I first started reading Wiccan books. It has everything you need to figure out how to do a Wiccan ritual. Which I don’t do much myself, but I like knowing how to do it.
I especially liked the chapter on The Center. It gave me wonderful ideas and understanding on the Gods and how I connect to them!
An interesting quote from the book: "As humans, we can come to know our oneness with all life without in any way invalidating or diminishing our individuality. We can come to know our sisterhood with all women, or our brotherhood with all men, or our queer relations, without thinking we are nothing more than that commonality. And we can also perceive the gods in this way—as a complex combination of one, two, and many.”

All in all, would I recommend this book?: Yes, especially for new people to the Craft!
