The Frosts and their Adolescent Rite of Passage (church, pagan)

[bflydad]

Has anyone read The Good Witch's Bible (GWB) by Gavin and Yvonne Frost?

I believe they are the first to get a Church of Wicca recognized by the IRS and started the first online Wiccan school. I am currently reading Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler (2006 ed) and her position seems to be that they are well-regarded by most of the Wiccan community although they have made "questionable statements about sex" including "descriptions of the use of artificial phalli".

However, when I read a review of GWB on Amazon (and I have read similar statements elsewhere), it seems to indicate the Frost's were endorsing incest as part of their rite of passage. I realize an easy way would be to read the book myself but I am not anywhere where I can read it locally without purchasing it and I don't want to endorse it by purchasing it if the reviewer is telling the truth. Can anyone help clear up my confusion?

Thanks

I would suggest looking for a PDF version of the book, small sample sections of it can be found on google if you look, also, look at any and all reviews of the book, compare them to get a more clear view on it. and this part is a bit off topic, but bflydad, I noticed you are not a member of any groups, why don'tcha join the pagan group? just go to User CP and click "group memberships" and join the pagan one and any otherone you feel you would like. not tryin to force ya, just saying there is quite a bit of helpful info in that group, that you might not find in the public pagan forums.

BFD_Zayl, thanks for the suggestions. I'm just learning RF and wasn't familiar with the group memberships. I've joined the Pagan group. What exactly does that do?

Thanks
