The Wiccan Web: Surfing the Magic on the Internet is a 2001 book by Patricia Telesco and Sirona Knight published by Citadel Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing. The book focuses on online Wiccan 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 online neopagan communities, and integrating Wiccan spells and rituals with technology.
Critical reception for The Wiccan Web was negative. Reviewers described the book as unintentionally comedic, criticising its understanding of neopagan practice, its rewrites of existing Wiccan creeds, and its unusual spells. The book was published during a period of rapid growth of online communities dedicated to new religious movements; it received attention as a summary of neopagan online culture and a symbol of its increasing cultural importance.
