Part guided journaling practice, part interactive magical grimoire,
The Magical Writing Grimoire shows you how to incorporate writing
as a magical tool to create healing and amplify spell-casting.
Whenever and wherever you are, word magic is with you. During times
of chaos or pain, or simply when you need a cosmic boost, writing
can help. In fact, healers, therapists, and magical practitioners
have long incorporated writing in their practices. From letter
writing for creating closure to dream diaries, writing is a
powerful process for moving your dreams into manifestation. The
Magical Writing Grimoire approaches writing as a self-actualizing,
intentional, and healing act. You will learn how to combine writing
with ritual and magic for self-discovery, clarifying intentions,
creating and making things happen, and manifestation. You will also
be guided in how to create a personal grimoire-a magical book of
self rituals, spells, and intentions. Each chapter contains writing
prompts that also incorporate magical ritual and tools including
working with crystals, spell incantation, or candle alchemy. Other
rituals and prompts may be set up for certain moon phases or ask
you to bury or burn a piece of paper. Equal parts practical and
inspiring, The Magical Writing Grimoire shows you how to wield your
word as your wand.
An examination of the nature of power that offers creative alternatives for positive change in our personal lives, our communities, and our world.
Religion, spiritual practice, a moral code for living, the means to
enhance and take control of your life: Wicca can be all of these
things. Many misunderstand what it means to follow Wicca; yes it
can involve 'magic' and the worship of the Horned God (along with
the equally important Triple Goddess), but it is also a beautiful,
life-enhancing way of living that venerates the cycles of nature
and the seasons and promotes positive and constructive values. It
is a relatively modern faith, dating back to the early twentieth
century, and yet it draws on ancient beliefs grounded in nature.
This unique and illuminating book will introduce you to the wonders
of Wicca. Covering everything from the Wiccan deities and calendar
to getting started with spellwork, natural healing and divination,
and accompanied by magical and stunning contemporary artwork, this
book will bewitch and enlighten you.

The classic book on working with the energy of the body for
spiritual purposes, The Middle Pillar by Israel Regardie, is now
more complete, more modern, more usable, and better than ever. The
exercise known as the Middle Pillar was devised by the Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn. Regardie expanded upon it and made it
public over 60 years ago in the first edition of this book. Since
that time, the exercise has been altered and adapted for just about
any spiritual use you could think of. It is a mainstay of many
Western traditions of magic. Now in its third edition, The Middle
Pillar is better than ever. ?It has been edited by Chic Cicero and
Sandra Tabatha Cicero, close friends of the late Regardie and
senior Adepts of the Golden Dawn. They have also added new material
in a separate section that more than doubles the size of the book
with their valuable insights and knowledge. * Includes the complete
original text, with nothing eliminated * Spelling has been
standardized to Western traditions * Each chapter now has a title
to identify its content * The Ciceros's notes to each chapter add
insight and history to Regardie's work * Modern and clearer
illustrations have been added * New, a further exploration of the
relationship between magic and psychology * New, more than five
techniques to enhance relaxation * New, the Middle Pillar and the
Chakras * New, versions of the Middle Pillar exercise in Egyptian,
Greek, and Gaelic * New, a shamanic version of the Middle Pillar *

have been, a thorough, accessible examination and extension of the
single ritual that has become the very embodiment of magic. Get The
Middle Pillar and learn the real secrets of magic.

child - who hasn't made a wish over a birthday cake? Candle spells
are among the easiest yet also the most effective to perform. They

rituals. They are used to mark the quarters of the circle, placed
on the altar and can represent the changing seasons of the year.

beginners to those experienced in the craft; with everything from
simple castings to elaborate and beautiful ceremonies. It offers a
background to candle magic as well as spells, rituals, divination

Written in the form of letters from an experienced witch to her two
apprentices, solitary witchcraft is offered, not as a substitute
for coven worship, but as a fulfulling lifestyle in its own right.
Rae Beth explains the importance of the Goddess and her consort,
the Horned God, as sources of spiritual strength and worship. The
author extols the feminine principles of healing and regeneration
as well as attacking greed and self-interest which jeopardize the
planet's very future. Rae Beth provides spells for all the key
festivals of the witch's calendar; describes and outlines the Pagan
approach to finding a partner. Her lyrical letters, accompanied by
delicate pen-and-ink sketches, bring the reader towards a deeper
understanding of the solitary witch's lifestyle and beliefs.
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.
Re-riting Woman presents the first in-depth ethnographic study of
Dianic Wicca. Its subject, Circle of Aradia, is a branch of the
religion based in the Los Angeles area. This religion-of, by, and
for women-conceives the Divine as exclusively female, and has
infused feminism into Wicca worldwide. Kristy S. Coleman combines
ethnography with theory to present a full account of what Dianic
Witches' lived practice looks like and what it means. The theorist
of focus, Luce Irigaray, asserts that women must reclaim their own
space and imagine the Divine as female to achieve full
emancipation. Moreover, Irigaray's critical analysis of Western
culture creates a subtext that clarifies what is at stake in this
practice. Thick description of seasonal rituals dispels fears and
stereotypes about Wicca, and offers readers a comforting
familiarity and shared healing. Coleman employs ritual theory to
suggest why and how these rites wield such meaning-altering
possibilities. Practitioners' statements that describe a shift in
worldview and self-conception elicit Coleman's proposal that Dianic
rituals re(w)rite the valuation and meaning of woman. Dianic
women's stories reveal both the transformative power of the
tradition's practice and the organization's challenges related to
power politics.
From the author of the Modern Witchcraft series comes a new book on
romantic spells to bring you love, companionship, and passion, with
straightforward, accessible spell instructions. The Modern
Witchcraft Book of Love Spells is a comprehensive collection that

partner and stoking the flame to add fire to your romance. This
book will guide you toward your romantic desires to find love-with
the help of a little magic!
The greatest Witches of legend and folklore practiced their craft
through spirit conjuration and employing a familiar spirit. Now,
centuries later, this art, once the supposed proclivity of
ceremonial magicians, can be acquired and mastered by Modern
Witches using only the enhanced tools and methodologies that they
already possess. Without having to invest a lot of time, money, and
effort, the average Modern Witch can adopt certain practices and
techniques to safely and competently perform invocations,
evocations and travel the Spirit World like the Witches of legend.
