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.
Did you know that the father of psychoanalysis believed in ghosts,
or that Frederick Engels attended seances? Ghosts: Deconstruction,
Psychoanalysis, History is the first collection of theoretical
essays to evaluate these facts and consider the importance of the
metaphor of haunting as it has appeared in literature, culture, and
philosophy. Haunting is considered as both a literal and figurative
term that encapsulates social anxieties and concerns. The
collection includes discussions of nineteenth-century spiritualism,
gothic and postcolonial ghost stories, and popular film, with
essays on important theoretical writers including Freud, Derrida,
Adorno, and Walter Benjamin.
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.
