520 1  "Coming to the Edge of the Circle offers an ethnographic 
       study of the initiation ritual practiced by one coven of 
       witches located in Ohio. As a high priestess within the 
       coven as well as a scholar of religion, Nikki Bado-Fralick
       is in a unique position to contribute to our understanding
       of this ceremony and the tradition to which it belongs. 
       Bado-Fralick's analysis of this coven's initiation 
       ceremony offers an important challenge to the commonly 
       accepted model of "rites of passage." Rather than a single
       linear event, initiation is deeply embedded within a total
       process of becoming a witch in practice and in community 
       with others." "Coming to the Edge of the Circle expands 
       our concept of initiation while giving us insight into one
       coven's practice of Wicca. An important addition to ritual
       studies, it also introduces readers to the contemporary 
       nature religion variously called Wicca, Witchcraft, the 
       Old Religion, or the Craft."--Jacket.
