by Radomir Ristic is a compilation of historical data,
anthropological studies, and the authors own experiences and
interviews with the Witches of the Balkans. Covering both theory
and practice, the book gives a complete system of Balkan
Traditional Witchcraft.
Balkan Traditional Witchcraft is an ancient system from humanity's
dawn that has survived into modern times due to the unique history
of the region, and its practice can be applied to any culture,
state or region in the world.
Translated into English by Michael C. Carter, Jr., this book - a
bestseller in its native Serbia - is an incredible look into the
world of the Balkan Witch, covering ritual trance, tools, rites for
healing, love, divination, defense and for making charms. It also
explores the supernatural beings that Balkan Witches share their
world with, deities, fairies and other spirits. There has never
been such a deep exploration of the magic of this region available
in English before.
Reveals the origins and history of the New England witch hysteria,
its continuing repercussions, and the multilayered practices of
today's modern witches New England has long been associated with
witches. And while the Salem witch trials happened long ago, the
prejudices and fears engendered by the witchcraft hysteria still
live on in our culture. What forces were at work that brought the
witch hysteria quickly from Europe to the new American colony, a
place of religious freedom--and what caused these prejudices to
linger centuries after the fact? Weaving together history, sacred
lore, modern practice, and the voices of today's witches, Ellen
Evert Hopman offers a new, deeper perspective on American
witchcraft and its ancient pagan origins. Beginning with the "witch
hysteria" that started in Europe and spread to the New World,
Hopman explores the witch hunts, persecutions, mass hysteria, and
killings, concluding that between forty and sixty thousand women
and men were executed as witches. Exploring how the perception and
practices of witches has evolved and expanded over the centuries,
Hopman also includes in-depth interviews with 25 modern-day
practitioners from a variety of pagan faiths, including druids,
wiccans, Celtic reconstructionists, and practitioners of the fairy
faith. Emerging from their insights is a treasure trove of
practical information on the sacred calendar, herb lore, spells,
and magical practices. Bringing together past and present, Hopman
reveals what it really means to be a "witch," redefining the label
with dignity and spiritual strength.
The influence of the seven Wandering Stars or Deathless Powers of
the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn has
shaped the development of magick for many thousands of years. Their
influence can be seen permeating many of the modern Western
Esoteric Traditions, who are the inheritors of the wisdom &
knowledge passed down through the ages. From Ancient Sumeria, to
the Greeks, the Romans, the early Qabalists, the Medieval &
Renaissance Grimoire Magickians through to the Victorian Occult
Societies, the influence of the planets is clearly present in the
symbolism of their ceremonies, practices & beliefs. In this
practical sourcebook, the authors bring together old & new
techniques which they hope will inspire others to explore the
multi-faceted world of planetary magick. There are simple planetary
contemplations, hymns & meditation journeys, ideal for the
novice who wants to explore the symbolism of the planets & in
doing so learn to focus the different planetary energies.
Information is provided on the many spiritual beings associated
with the planets - The Gods & Goddesses who give their names to
the planets, the Olympic Spirits, Archangels, Orders of Angels,
Planetary Intelligences & Planetary Spirits. Essential
techniques for creating planetary sigils using the magick number
squares, calculating planetary hours, making & consecrating
amulets & talismans are given with practical examples. Drawing
from their experience & knowledge gained working in a number of
Western Esoteric Traditions, the authors also present here original
planetary techniques & ceremonies - including the Ritual of the
Heptagram, Planetary Pyramids, Planetary Magick Circles & Angle
Webs. The rich symbolism & influence of the magick of the
Wandering Stars underlies the spiritual & magickal heritage of
Western Esotericism. Through exploring & working with the
Deathless Powers, the reader can come to a greater understanding of
the transformative powers they offer every true seeker of the
Mysteries.
