This book offers an ethnographic study of the initiation ritual practiced by one coven of Witches located in Ohio. Nikki Bado-Fralick's analysis of the Wiccan initiation ceremony offers an important challenge to the commonly accepted anthropological model of 'rites of passage.' As a High Priestess within the coven as well as a scholar of religion, Bado-Fralick is in a unique position to contribute to our understanding of this ceremony and the tradition to which it belongs.
