At a time when we seek a closer connection with the natural world,
this beautiful deck invites us to celebrate the earth and the
rhythm of her seasons. Combining the two fundamental spiritualities
of Nature - Wicca and Druidry - Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm,
together with artist Will Worthington, have created a tarot of
extraordinary depth and relevance to help guide and illuminate your
life. The powerful images have emerged from a vast store of
teachings and story-telling rooted in our ancient past. Use them as
gateways to your inner spiritual world, and deepen your knowledge
of yourself and of the earth. Let the natural wisdom of DruidCraft
bring you insight and inspiration for the life issues that you face
today.
The Arcane Veil: 'analogue of Craft historiography, brought up to
date through the author's own experiential praxis' A discursive
investigation of magical beliefs and practises in England since
600CE to the post-modern fall-out of the 21st century, analysing in
particular its influences and survival strategies. Emphasis is
placed on Christian, Heathen, and Hermetic Praxis, with
provocative, critical study of the concepts of Lucifer,
Witch-Blood, Sin-Eating and their influences on modern Traditional
Craft praxes. "A driving thirst for knowledge is the forerunner of
wisdom. Knowledge is a state that all organic life possesses,
wisdom is the reward of the spirit, gained in the search for
knowledge. Truth is variable - what is true now, will not be true
tomorrow, since the temporal truths are dependent upon ethics and
social mores - therefore wisdom is possibly eternal Truth,
untouched by man's condition. So we must come to the heart of the
people, a belief that is based upon Eternity, and not upon social
needs or pressures - the 'witch' belief then is concerned with
wisdom, our true name, then the wise people and wisdom is our aim."
- Robert Cochrane 1931-1966
James Lynn Page has written a creative and practical guide to an
ancient and mysterious tradition that is enjoying an astonishing
revival worldwide. He separates fact from fiction, myth from magic,
and brings the reader closer to the truth in this fascinating study
of the Celts: their traditional ceremonies, rituals and lore linked
to the seasons; Hallowe'en and modern Witchcraft (or Wicca); and,
the Celtic gods, goddesses and heroes. And then he tells us how to
make the magic happen for ourselves, to harness its power and
improve our lives.
