The Wiccan Web: Surfing the Magic on the Internet is a 2001 book byPatricia Telesco andSirona Knight published by Citadel Press, an imprint ofKensington Publishing. The book focuses on onlineWiccan culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and is structured as a how-to guide for users new to technology. It discusses topics such as finding Wicca-related websites, interacting with onlineneopagan communities, and integrating Wiccan spells and rituals with technology.
