Over the past few years, Hekate has gained increasing popularity around the world. While there are books written about the historical Hekate, there is a lack of information applying this knowledge for personal development and practicing witchcraft. Keeping Her Keys blends the "keys" of personal development, magick, and the ancient goddess, Hekate, together. Topics include the power of prayer, how to create sacred space, and guidance on spell-crafting. In the final chapter, listeners can perform an optional self-initiation to become a Keeper of Her Keys.

Scott Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick but also about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much-needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Cunningham's own Book of Shadows.

There are some books on magick that teach it purely as spiritual advancement. There are others that teach it as a form of psychological self-help that effects only inner change. While magick can and should be both of these, it is something more. The Sorcerer's Secrets is about success in practical magick; it is a book that aims at change in both the outer and inner worlds. Beyond a mere spell book or training course, The Sorcerer's Secrets is a field manual on successful sorcery written by a professional sorcerer.

Great book
I had this book a little over 10 years ago. It was my first when I was starting to learn. Glad to have found it on audible. It had helped me greatly and I do definitely recommend it to newbies and experienced. Some of the reviews say that the chapters aren't labeled and that is true but I found that to be the case for most of the audiobooks I have downloaded.
Edit* I wish the directions for making that short staff were included in the PDF.

Good info, though not ideal for an audiobook
I'll start out by saying that this is an encyclopedic type reference book, as opposed to a chaptered nonfiction book. So while the information provided is interesting, it wouldn't necessarily be something you sit down and read start to finish. The topics are alphabetized, which is great while flipping through a reference book for your desired topic, but it seems disjointed while listening to the audio version of the book.
The author states in the foreword that it is geared towards beginners so I'm not sure why the other reviewers seemed surprised by that or felt that it's condescending, though it could be another result of it being an encyclopedic book.
All in all I would pass on this book in audio form, but definitely look for it as a physical book to reference as needed. The author noted several other beginner witchcraft books and I think I'll be looking into those as audiobooks instead of continuing on with this one.

this is the first book I have listened/read by this author. I felt that it was directed to a very very young person. I think if I were I the 11-14 year old range I may have connected.

What an awful dissapointment
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
if people exist who would enjoy this book, i dont know who they are, nor do i care to.
What was most disappointing about Silver RavenWolf’s story?
Wow... where oh where to begin? to start i will say, i got to somewhere in the 39th chapter before the relentless preachiness actually brought vomit to the back of my throat. in that time i can honestly say in the very rare moments when this book is not giving useless sarcasm, and an ironic feel of being judged by a christian ministers wife, there were a few moments where some interesting points of wiccan/pagan history/folklore was shared. as for any of the specific majik offered in this... um... well, i will not, not due to my lack in the subject, but considering the source, this is no opinion i will ever recommend following.
What didn’t you like about Pam Ward’s performance?
the only thing i have to say about pams performance is that i got the feeling she actually identified with the judgmental tone of the author. so if she was just doing her job, reading this piece of trash for a buck, then i cant blame her.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Solitary Witch?
if you remove all of the nonsense, i feel like theres a really decent pamphlets worth of pagan history in there.
Any additional comments?
listen at your own risk... youve been warned.

Made for Teens
I'm very new to Wicca and Paganism, I'm also an adult. This book started off alright but it was very clearly geared towards teenagers. I felt the author wanted this book to reach teens and people my age but I felt myself getting very frustrated. A lot of examples are like "What if your parents won't let you go to the movies?" or "Make sure you ask your parents if you are allowed to have candles before you light them!" No thank you!

Wow so much information. Unfortunately the audio sounds off (garbled robot) compared to other audio books I’ve bought. Also there are a lot of chapters, when I select a chapter to play they often start mid subject.

Really thorough overview
After listening to this audiobook I'm really mad that I avoided her for so long. I met a lot of snobs really early on that turned me off her as being too "fluffy bunny" when she actually isn't. i realised while listening to this that the actual reason she is dismissed so soundly is because a lot of her work specifically targets teen girls. and if you've ever been a teen girl you know that pretty much everything for teen girls is derided to the point that even we as teen girls dont even want to identify as teen girls for fear of backlash for existing. the misogyny against women is started early and dismissing or refusing to take anything seriously that is geared to teen girls is a very serious layer of this misogyny, so if you've avoided any Silver books because "they're just fluff" let me assure you this book is not fluff at all.
there is a ton of info in here from spells, to history, to mythology, to astrology, to even herbology. each section is broken into parts and themes that make sense and everything ties back together. its a little dense for an audio book so I recommend having the physical book as well, especially for all the charts and diagrams.
the one issue I did take with this work is that it is very pro-cop, very pro-military and pro "war on crime" which I dont like due to the overt racist policies and violence against poc of this natuon that have been perpetrated by cops in the so called war on drugs and war on crime. the last part of the last chapter is blatantly this which left me on a bit of a sour note and like "ugh, did you have to white lady so hard in thos bit?". if shed just mentioned blessing your military and talking about her daughter that went into the army that would have been fine but she added the war on crime stuff and I was just totally turned off.
overall i would read another book by her, I dont think I could restrict myself to only these books but I like her style and I like that she centers teens because not many authors do.

Phenomenal! Love Pam Ward's dictation as well!
I'm not a teenager by any means but this book contains so much information that relates to my life as a beginner into witchcraft & the wise & old ways of religion & beliefs with the spells & ceremonies. I lived it so much I actually bought a hard copy for myself as a reference/study guide.
Only downfall to audible version is the book refers to PDF Files that aren't provided.
