"An Introduction to Wiccan Spells" allows the interested individual
and the skeptics as well to understand exactly what the practice of
Wicca is. It allows persons to realize what the myths are and what
the facts are, that surround this unique religion. Wicca is
something that has been around for quite a while and suffice it to
say that it is not understood by many individuals. Any individual
that acquires this text can learn all that Wicca has to offer and
more including how it started in the first place.
The past century has born witness to a growing interest in the
belief systems of ancient Europe, with an array of contemporary
Pagan groups claiming to revive these old ways for the needs of the
modern world. By far the largest and best known of these Paganisms
has been Wicca, a new religious movement that can now count
hundreds of thousands of adherents worldwide. Emerging from the
occult milieu of mid twentieth-century Britain, Wicca was first
presented as the survival of an ancient pre-Christian Witch-Cult,
whose participants assembled in covens to venerate their Horned God
and Mother Goddess, to celebrate seasonal festivities, and to cast
spells by the light of the full moon. Spreading to North America,
where it diversified under the impact of environmentalism,
feminism, and the 1960s counter-culture, Wicca came to be presented
as a Goddess-centred nature religion, in which form it was
popularised by a number of best-selling authors and fictional
television shows. Today, Wicca is a maturing religious movement
replete with its own distinct world-view, unique culture, and
internal divisions. This book represents the first published
academic introduction to be exclusively devoted to this fascinating
faith, exploring how this Witches' Craft developed, what its
participants believe and practice, and what the Wiccan community
actually looks like. In doing so it sweeps away widely-held
misconceptions and offers a comprehensive overview of this religion
in all of its varied forms. Drawing upon the work of historians,
anthropologists, sociologists, and scholars of religious studies,
as well as the writings of Wiccans themselves, it provides an
original synthesis that will be invaluable for anyone seeking to
learn about the blossoming religion of modern Pagan Witchcraft.
"Ethics and the Craft; The History, Evolution, and Practice of
Wiccan Ethics" provides ground breaking research into the history
of ethics in the Wiccan religion and how they have propagated and
changed over time.
This is the 20th Anniversary edition of the book which contains new
material by Lon Milo DuQuette! The book gives the student immediate
access to the world's most powerful yet misunderstood system of
Magick. Crowley's work on the Enochian system was originally
published in The Equinox, his 10-voulme journal of Scientific
Illuminism. It was the launching pad for all that followed.
Originally published in 1912, it rent the veil of the Inner Order
of the Golden Dawn and revealed its most precious jewel for all to
see. Lon Milo DuQuette is a recognised expert on Enochian Magick
who brings four decades of practical experience in the field to
show you how to start using this powerful system right now. It is
the aim of this book to offer in a practical format, Liber LXXXIV
vel Chanokh, Crowley's original presentation of basic Enochiana,
and make it immediately useful for the student who wishes to make
use of it now. This coupled with Israel Regardie's fine Enochian
Dictionary and pronunciation guide provides the reader with the
minimum material necessary to get started. For the advanced student
it offers practical instructions and the opportunity to re-evaluate
the original information that the greatest magician of the 20th
Century felt was most necessary to master first. This second
revised edition of the book was edited by David Cherubim.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1831 Edition.
This is my final book. This is a powerful way of looking at the
world- if you feel you should buy it then do.
