This new edition of the Goetia features an introduction explaining
Goetic Magick. Goetia refers to all the operations of that Magick
which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces. Goetia
is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out
of control, something which expresses the operator's lower desires
to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact,
this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for
self-improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many
people to the Goetia while horrifying and repelling others.
Crowley's Goetia is brought to life by David P. Wilson with vivid
illustrations of the Goetic demons, while Lon Milo DuQuette and
Christopher S. Hyatt bring the ancient art of Goetic Magick to life
in the modern day. Christopher Hyatt joined with Lon Milo DuQuette
and David P. Wilson to glean extraordinary magical and
philosophical treasures from this most misunderstood subject.

"The seidr current is fresh and vibrant, with the strength and
solidity of the Norse deities behind it." - Katie Gerrard Seidr is
the intriguing and powerful early Norse system of shamanistic
trance practices. In Seidr: The Gate is Open, Katie Gerrard has
contributed a major work on the practices of seidr and trance
prophecy, providing a practical manual full of dynamic group
rituals and techniques based on known Seidr practices. Foremost
amongst these techniques is the prophetic rite of the High Seat,
where the Volva (seer) sends her consciousness to the underworld
realm of Hel to gain answers to the questions posed to her.
Combining more than a decade of research and experimentation, this
book is characterised by both its scholarship and its
accessibility. Katie Gerrard shares her own experiences on the path
of the seer, and also draws inspiration from original sources in
the old texts of the Sagas and the Eddas, as well as contemporary
researchers and groups working with seidr in Scandinavia, Europe
and America. Techniques for achieving trance, levels of trance
possession, coming out of trance, the vardlokkurs (chants),
necessary equipment, and the requirements for the roles of the
different participants, are all discussed in a clear and concise
manner, as is the relevance of contacting the ancestors, the dead
and the appropriate gods, including the goddesses Freyja and Hel,
and the Allfather god Odin. As befits such an inspirational book,
the author provides both the relevant background information for
the eleven rites contained within, together with explanations of
their inclusion and purposes. The rites emanate practical
effectiveness, a result of their regular use over many years for
successful exploration of the mysteries of trance prophecy, the
High Seat rite and Norse witchcraft. "This is a spiritual journey
laid bare for an audience who are either already treading a similar
path or are looking for guidance in order to follow a well trodden
path to a similar end point." * * * * * Katie Gerrard is a writer,
researcher, and workshop facilitator with a passion for the magic
of Seidr and the Runes. She has been studying the different forms
of norse magic and working with norse gods since discovering them
in the 1990s. Katie is also the author of Odin's Gateways (about
working with the runes) and the forthcoming The Gate is Open (about
Seidr and Northern tradition magical techniques), both publised by
Avalonia Books. An essay on the High Sear Rite written by Katie
Gerrard appeared in the Avalonia anthology 'Priestesses,
Pythonesses, Sibyls'. She also regularly hosts seidr and other seer
and norse rites within the London (UK) area.

It has been observed that the traditions, philosophies and beliefs
that enjoy historical longevity are not those that remain static
and unchanging, but rather those that evolve and adapt to meet the
needs of different or changing societies. And that truth, of
course, can be extended to religions and spiritualities that by
necessity must remain relevant to peoples' lives or become
intellectual museum pieces. With topics ranging from CyberWitches
to Activism, from Web Weaving to Urban Witchcraft, from the Arts to
Kitchen and Solitary Witchcraft and more, What is Modern
Witchcraft? considers contemporary developments in the ancient
craft and discusses a number of questions and issues that are
frequently raised today. What is Modern Witchcraft? is edited by
Trevor Greenfield and features essays from Morgan Daimler, Annette
George, Irisanya Moon, Rebecca Beattie, Philipp J. Kessler, Amie
Ravenson, Rachel Patterson, Melusine Draco, Dorothy Abrams, Arietta
Bryant and Mabh Savage.
