potent mystical beverages, with witchy wisdom from author Shawn
Engel and expertly crafted cocktails from mixologist Steven
Nichols. For thousands of years, witches young and old have
concocted mysterious potions to heal, to divine the future, to get
in touch with the energies of the planet-and just to have fun. In
this enchanting compendium of 40 drink recipes, mystical maven
Shawn Engel shares her thoughts on what to imbibe for power,
energy, and amusement. Written in tandem with the award-winning
cocktail writer and developer Steven Nichols, this collection
presents a broad range of drinks for every purpose. Whether it's a
trio of beverages celebrating the energies of the maiden, mother,
and crone (with notes of pomegranate, fig, and smoke respectively),
or an eminently sippable mint-based money magick brew for
prosperity, this book is a party with a purpose. Not only are these
drinks fun and shareable, they also contain ingredients with
ancient magickal significance. For example, the 'Keep it Hexy' is
not only a delicious vodka-based cocktail perfect for kick-starting
a memorable evening, it also contains black pepper to return a hex
to sender, sage to cleanse an evil eye, and blackberries for
protection. All recipes include energetic properties and plenty of
information about magickal ingredients and why they've been used to
address certain ills for millennia; some even come with invocations
and rituals to amplify their power.

Rae Beth, author of the bestselling Hedge Witch, here blends the
ancient traditions of hedge witchcraft with our modern concerns for
the natural world. Working in liminal places and with wild spirits,
she shows how we can both help to heal the human relationship with
the natural world and cast spells of increase for threatened
species. The Green Hedge Witch is based in the knowledge that we
are part of nature, not apart from Her and that this gives us our
power and potential as well as our responsibilities. And therefore,
by the use of rites, spirit journeys and elven help, we can work
heartfelt healing magic. This is a book for the budding spellcaster
as well as the experienced hedge witch.
Kim Krans's NEW YORK TIMES bestseller THE WILD UNKNOWN TAROT (375K
copies sold) launched a culture-shifting brand that redefined tarot
for the twenty-first century. Now comes Krans's next deck in her
bestselling series, THE WILD UNKNOWN ALCHEMY DECK AND GUIDEBOOK.
This stunning oracle deck reveals insights into the ancient
mysteries of alchemy: the metaphorical process of turning lead
(unconsciousness) into gold (enlightenment). Alchemy is the doorway
to the imagination and self-discovery. You do not need to be an
expert in metals, symbols, astrology, or Latin to become an
alchemist. Whether a baker, mechanic, surgeon, seamstress, or
surfer-those who become masters of their materials are all
alchemists. The magic of Alchemy is available to anyone who is
willing to explore, observe, and invoke transformation. Paired with
a 224-page, hand-lettered, fully illustrated guidebook written and
designed by Kim Krans, THE WILD UNKNOWN ALCHEMY DECK includes 71
beautiful, easy-to-shuffle hexagon cards divided into six suits:
The Cosmic Forces, The Colors, The Seasons, The Materials, The
Mysteries, and The Operations. Illustrated in Krans's iconic style
of elegant line art and lush watercolor painting, each full-color
card offers a tool for self-study and exploration, expressed
through symbol, image, and language. The unique shape of the cards
allows edges to meet and images to meld and transform, with all-new
connecting spreads, including readings for revealing energetic and
emotional blockages, identifying what is serving and what is
draining, and much more. Through this profound experience of
observing image, color, and materials with an alchemical
perspective, new gifts and discoveries are revealed. This deck is a
journey to awakening and reuniting us with what may be dormant or
unseen as we begin to weave together the physical and mystical
aspects of our lives.
Village wisewomen and men, the community's witches, have always
helped to heal wounded lives. When disaster strikes, such as
serious illness or some kind of abuse or loss, or when we're
struggling through things such as divorce or family conflict,
today's hedge witchcraft can still give us the means to help
ourselves or others. There are, for example, spells to banish the
spirits of cruelty or injustice. There are ways of countering the
ill effects of spiteful thoughts which others may hold about us. We
can rebuild our sense of ourselves by magic that holds us true to
our real life purpose, throughout any crisis. What is presented
here is not superficial and not a shortcut. Rather, it is a
powerful process, a method which can be adapted to any situation
where help may be needed.

Magic is all around us - in stones, flowers, stars, the dawn wind
and the sunset cloud. All we need is the ability to see it,
understand it, and apply it. Natural Magic explains how to practise
the age-old white magic that village wise women have used for
centuries. It deals with the magic of herbs and flowers, of the
four elements, of numbers and colours, amulets and talismans, how
to read cards, how to interpret dreams, and much more. There are
chapters on the secrets of sex magic, and on the use of traditional
spells. If you want to learn to charm warts, to cast a love spell,
or to plant a magical garden, this book will tell you how. An
essentially practical treatise, which sets out to show how magic
can be for everyone, and how, indeed, it has always been inherent
in human life and nature. Both those who are new to the practice of
magic and those with experience will find it delightful reading and
an informative handbook for use in daily life.
