Author: Coughlin, John J.

With all the aspects of Wicca that have been misunderstood, ethics has been one aspect which has moved to the forefront, sometimes taken to the point of fundamentalism.

Yet for all the attention, it seems that few really understand or appreciate the depth and complexity of Wiccan ethics today.

This book hopes to encourage a better understanding and appreciation for Wiccan ethics and encourage ethical thinking.
