Rebel Witch reminds witches of the wondrous opportunity to jump
into experimentation and invent something wild and individual, a
practice shaped by their individual personality and life journey,
rather than allowing themselves to be spoon-fed. It challenges
witches to design a nurturing practice that is truly theirs.
There's information about all the elements of the craft, from
energy raising, sacred space creation and receiving signs to
casting spells, holding rituals, scrying, potions and much more ...
crucially, in each case the topic is discussed from an exciting
contemporary perspective. So, when Kelly-Ann talks about sacred
texts, she stresses that you can choose the texts that resonate
with you - so why not Alice in Wonderland or Narnia? Maybe you want
to move away from the traditional Wheel of the Year and create your
own divisions? Instead of honouring a traditional deity, why not
construct your own, choosing elements from rock stars, movie icons
or fictional heroes? Or embody magical signs in your clothing and
jewellery? Creativity and experimentation are encouraged, with tips
to help the reader to be inventive. A curious reader with a desire
to create an inspired, deeply personal path and free themselves
from conformity will finish the book ready to take action and make
magick happen!
Some twenty years ago, anthropologist, Carlos Castaneda,
electrified millions of readers by describing his initiation -
under the Yaqui Indian brujo, Don Juan - into an alternate reality.
Now Taisha Abelar, who was taught by the female members of Don
Juan's group, recounts her own "crossing" in this arresting book.
While travelling in Mexico, Abelar became involved with a group of
sorcerers and began a rigorous physical and mental training process
designed to enable her to breach the limits of ordinary perception.
THE SORCERERS CROSSING details that process, giving us a highly
practical sense of the responsibilities and perils that face a
woman sorcerer. Abelar's enthralling story is invaluable as a
virtual "sorcerers manual", as anthropology and as a provocative
work of women's spirituality.
Perfect for Witches who are ready to dive into the paranormal, this
book helps you understand how hauntings work and prepares you for
eerie situations you might encounter. As a Witch, your ability to
manipulate energy allows you to interact with ghosts in ways that
other investigators can't. You can use this skill to identify and
resolve the four main classes of haunting residual, poltergeist,
human earthbound, and inhuman entity. J. Allen Cross covers haunted
homes, paranormal investigation, psychic senses, mediumship,
protection techniques, and the nature of matter. You will learn how
to craft a seal, open and close portals, perform an exorcism, and
help spirits cross over. This book shows you how to make the most
of your talents so you can bring peace to restless spirits and
those they haunt.
As one of the fastest growing Pagan traditions, Feminist Wicca
appeals to many through its emphasis on the deep interconnectedness
of life and its focus on the woman's religious experience. In
Hidden Circles in the Web, scholar and practitioner Constance Wise
explores Feminist Wicca through the lens of process thought,
developing a new theaology of feminist spirituality that can enrich
and deepen the religious practice. Although the twentieth-century
philosophy of process thought is often portrayed as a complex and
inaccessible system, Wise explains its concepts in simple language
and illustrates her points with accessible examples from life. Wise
invites readers into the hidden wisdom of Feminist Wicca and
process thought, proposing statements of Feminist Wiccan beliefs
and practices in six areas: history, anthropology, epistemology,
ethics, cosmology, and theaology. While the focus of the book is on
Feminist Wicca, her insights into process thought apply to an array
of traditions and will interest a range of practitioners and
scholars across the religious spectrum.
Featuring nearly 500 samples of folklore, including stories,
artifacts, rituals, and beliefs, New World Witchery is one of the
most comprehensive collections of witchcraft and folk magic ever
written. This treasure trove of witchery is designed to help you
integrate folk traditions into your life and deepen your
understanding of magic. Folklore expert Cory Thomas Hutcheson
guides you to the crossroads of folk magic, where you ll learn
about different practices and try them for yourself. Explore
chapters on magical heritage, divination, flying, familiars,
magical protection, spirit communication, and more. This in-depth,
accessible book also provides brief profiles of significant folk
magicians, healers, and seers, so you can both meet the
practitioners and experience their craft.
The field of witchcraft studies is continually over-turning new
information and research about traditional witchcraft practices and
their meanings. A Deed Without a Name seeks to weave together some
of this cutting-edge research with insider information and
practical know-how. Utilising her own decades of experience in
witchcraft and core-shamanism Lee Morgan pulls together information
from trial records, folklore and modern testimonials to deepen our
understanding of the ecstatic and visionary substrata of
Traditional Witchcraft. Those who identify themselves as
'Traditional' tend to read a lot of scholarly texts on the subject
and yet still there remains a vast gulf between this information
and knowledgeably applying it in practice; this book aims to close
that gap.

'a brilliant history' The Sunday Times 'makes for riveting reading'
The Independent Modern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only
fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now
spread across four continents. This second edition of The Triumph
of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly
study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature
and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes
to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800.
Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians,
classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting
movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We
also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from
the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert
Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented
pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers
like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get
similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by
its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to
distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied
to most of the stories involved. Meticulously researched, The
Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into an
aspect of modern cultural history which has attracted sensational
publicity but has hitherto been little understood. This edition
incorporates new research carried out by the author as well as
research by others who have been inspired by this book over the
twenty years since its first publication.

Not since The Confessions of Aleister Crowley has a true magician
told his own story. My Life with the Spirits is a rare glimpse into
the fascinating, sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilarious world of
a modern ceremonial magician. Hailed by critics as the most
entertaining author in the field and one of the most widely
respected members of the magick community, Lon Milo DuQuette gently
draws you into the introspective world of the modern magician,
tickles you with hilarious observations and self-effacing
confessions, then (often in the same paragraph) slams you in the
heart with breathtaking profundities.
DuQuette's most impressive quality is that in spite of his many
accomplishments he doesn't take himself too seriously, which makes
what he has to say all the more appealing. He's been through
experiences that many Americans can relate to from his "agonizing
years of Sunday School" and service as an altar boy, to riding the
waves of the cultural revolution of the 60s. After sorting through
an abundance of spiritual paths, he finally came upon one that
resonated with him. By shedding light on his own development -- as
a person and a magician -- DuQuette provides a beacon for aspiring
magicians everywhere.
Recognize and celebrate the magic of life with timeless rites
and spells. Create a magical household--a haven of harmony, safety,
spirituality, security, and romance. The benefits include a happier
existence, protection against thieves, improved health, restful
sleep, satisfying spiritual experiences, and a perfect environment
for positive magic. This warm and wise guide by much loved author
Scott Cunningham has been helping people create sacred space in
their homes and gardens for nearly twenty years.
We no longer believe in witches as our ancestors once did. However,
in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, any unforeseen or
unexplained events were likely to be attributed to witchcraft. The
stories of the individuals within this book show how superstition
and prejudice played an important and powerful part in the lives of
the populace of Yorkshire from the Middle Ages right through to the
nineteenth century
