Summary: Best Book Ever on THE ART OF WITCHCRAFT!
Comment: This is my all time favorite!! Unlike any other book on Witchcraft since! This was one of the very first books on Witchcraft I bought and devoured as a teenager over 30 years ago when I first decided to begin my studies in the "Black Arts". Huson not only explores both the Light & Dark side of the Craft but also teaches you how to succesfully work both aspects of Magick. (Unfortunantly lacking in modern Wicca today!) Not a "Fluffy, New Age, Femi-Nazi" Wiccan-Religion book! This book definitely defines what WITCHCRAFT is as an ART! I only wish that alot more books of True Witchcraft like this were available for many would-be Witches and "Wiccan" students today who often fall victim to all the "Witchcrap, Bandwagon" books that are being cranked out today and aren't worth the price for a cup of coffee. Perhaps then we would have a lot more quality practitioners in the public eye than the crap that is being passed off as Witchcraft/Wicca today! Huson shows what being a True Witch is all about!!

Summary: My absolute favorite book on witchcraft.
Comment: This book has nothing to do with Wicca or the Craft as it is supposedly practiced today. It is pieced together from bits of the Key of Solomon, Gerald Gardner, and other sources I can't readily identify. It is, however, exactly what you'd want in a book about witchcraft: witchy spell verses (bubble, bubble, toil and trouble), nifty recipes, cool tools, etc. All of this is beautifully complemented by Huson's lively writing style and magnificently bewitching drawings. The chapter on the history of witchcraft is a little confusing, but every chapter that follows is so much fun to read. Oddly, there is no chapter on money spells. I love this book so much, I often wonder if Paul Huson is still alive and what he is doing now... Thank you, Mr. Huson for an absolutely fabulous book!
BTW, I don't believe at all in magic or witchcraft -- I just like Huson's creation

Summary: Must have for any occultist
Comment: Mastering witchcraft is an excellent book on many different aspects of witchcraft. There's a few disclaimers, however. As has been said *many* times before by other reviewers, this is not really a book on wicca, or spirituality/religion. Period. It *is* a book on pragmatic magical work. It's not precisely anti-wiccan, it's simply non-wiccan, and says precisely what it means. Also the book neglects a few popular types of spells: healing, success, money, and generic spell format. I would have also enjoyed it much more if it included more pragmatic information on summoning various types of entities (outside of vassago). I also found the history section to border between interesting and amusing.
However, not many books can compete with this book. It covers a lot of topics lightly, and in laymen's terms. It plainly lays open a lot of valuable/thought provoking subjects (albeit, if one is truly interested in a type of magic, nothing can replace hardcore research into said subject). However, it's an excellent starter book for magic/k, as it doesn't try to force one to swallow a set of beliefs and ethics, and covers a wide range of material in a thoughtful, concise, and interesting, albeit dated, way.
I would suggest that any occultist read this book. Regardless of one's religion, spirtuality, or ethical code, it is still a worthwhile book to read.
