[QUOTE="Star*, post: 440507, member: 4964"] Wicca and Witchcraft for Dummies - I found it at a yardsale and it's actually been a slow read - but it's interesting to see the history behind other religions. There are a LOT of things in this book that I think JK Rowling loosely borrowed in terms for the HP series. Some of the words and ceremonial rites dating back thousands of years have a familiar ring to a lot of other movies too, which I never had a clue where they came from, and now? I do. I just figured she took a lot of Latin words and transformed them for her own "magickal" use - not so. A lot of it is really historically based. Not my typical read, but never hurts to expand your mind about other's faiths and ways of life. Whether you agree or not isn't the point, being able to agree to disagree - much better plan. Being afraid of things you don't understand - never good. [/QUOTE]
