Summary: Glad I Only Read This Out Of Curiousity...
Comment: Hmmm...Where to start. Can't say I cared much for this book. The parts where she describes the postulant being naked, blindfolded and bound, not to mention being scourged, sound more to me like bondage and S and M, NOT A RELIGOUS PRACTICE!
And there's the ritual where Death scourges the High Priestess and she falls in love with Death, after he beats [...] out of her!
I also find her claim that this stuff is ancient to be somewhat suspect! It's pretty much been proven that Wicca is a new religion! She also uses the word "warlock!" That word is an insult to male Witches, since it means oath-breaker!
Some of the other things I found objectionable was one of the so-called Laws where it states that men should rule womyn![...]
As I said, I'm glad I only read this book out of curiosity. It is interesting and the parts I like are the different rhyming spells she has. I'll probably make use of some of the rhymes.
To sum it up, my objections to this book are it's sexist and degrading attitude towards womyn and her claim that Wicca is an ancient religion.

Summary: Not For Beginners
Comment: "The Grimoire of Lady Sheba" wasn't the first book I've read about Wicca, and I'm very happy that it wasn't.
The book doesn't really explain about the Craft and it's holidays etc. but just gives rituals and spells.
There are a lot of print errors in it.
The first thing I've noticed when I just went over the book briefly was that the dates of the Sabbats were incorrect, when I read the book thoroughly I so that many of Lady Sheba's spells were spells to control and manipulate people, which is wrong according to Wicca.
I think that people who are completely new to Wicca shouldn't read this book first, if they want to they should read it after reading some good books so they'll see the difference and know the true meaning...
Also there are a few nice ideas in the book that can be "borrowed" to rituals and spells in the correct manner.
