obviously I'd think so-but I am also a solitary practioner, and if I feel that I need insight, I pray and chant, as I am a solitary practioner-initially, 12yrs. ago, I referred to several books about Wicca(mostly Celtic and Nordic) in order to understand it-however, now that I'm grown, am able to seek advice from my guide, and "travel" to the astral plane, I do not seek insight or advice from "men", cuz who kno's if Gardener was right?! not one person in my opinion, n u also have ppl that used manipultion in order to to "create" what they wished to happen(I'm speaking of Aleister Crowley, just for example-there have been others that do that as well, but Crowley is most well known to most ppl)-tho, at this point in time(for bout 12yrs. now) this is my chosen path, so I do recognize that I'm biased
