This was my first look at Wicca and the contemporary Pagan experience of religion. It broadened my view of the world.
Adler's thorough study of neopagan and wiccan groups highlights the breadth and vibrancy of the movements. It was fundamental to my understanding of modern wicca. The book is lengthy, but a reader should feel free to skip to the sections that will enlighten them the most, as much of the book is long case studies of various groups.
One of the first books I read as I began paganism. It was invaluable to me in understanding the diversity of neo-paganism.

I'm still filing this in my favourite vampire shelf though, because the first part was that good. But overall the rating must be three stars.
