"The Resurrection of the Meadow" is described by the author as "A
Record of Thirteen Occult Formulas & Charms of Art with Purport
& A Sealing Conjuration & their many useful Sorcerous
Permutations, Writ & Gathered on Walpurgis Night 2010, For
those Inquisitive Adepts who walk The despised path of True
Sorcery, The long-dimmed radiance of the Ancient Gold of the Wise."
Found within this full, self-contained working grimoire is a system
of sorcery relying on the ancient spiritual aesthetic of the
Faery-Faith and the Metaphysics of Elfhame- interaction with the
Unseen world through the vehicle of the spirit-forms or the
fetch-bodies of non-human persons that are merged with the land
around us. Steeped in folklore and a much older form of deep
ecology, it is a powerful work of Art for the discerning occultist.
The grimoire contains, among other things, full instructions for
sealing and protecting the "Meadow" or sanctified outdoors
locations, the "Feery Feast," the manifesting of the powerful
"Weird of the Cairn," the creation of sacred interaction-points
with the "Convocation of the Meadow" or Land-spirits, various
Crossings, arboreal workings for harvesting and gathering sorcerous
components from tree and plant weirds, charms of increase and
fertility, and the creation of the fearful "White Mommet" for works
of sympathetic magic.
Anyone can be a witch! Perfect or not, who cares at the end? The
irony of the title lies exactly in that: today, to be a witch is
not to be perfect, but rather to look at the world differently, to
be aware of the power of nature, and to use it for personal
benefit. A book for modern witches that wants to be also, and
especially, a way to empower the reader, to not homologate to other
people's judgement: it includes 50 moments to be a witch, seeking
personal strength and uniqueness. This book introduces to magic as
a tool for personal growth: from the most intimate and personal
situations to the public and social ones, every moment is the right
moment to let go of the ordinary in favour of magic. A book that
can make us change our point of view on what surrounds us, the
people and ourselves, thanks to a witchlike (or a simply
boundaries-free!) approach

The text is a composite. Some of it is Leland's translation into
English of an original Italian manuscript, the Vangelo (gospel).
Leland reported receiving the manuscript from his primary informant
on Italian witchcraft beliefs, a woman Leland referred to as
"Maddalena" and whom he called his "witch informant" in Italy. The
rest of the material comes from Leland's research on Italian
folklore and traditions, including other related material from
Maddalena. Leland had been informed of the Vangelo's existence in
1886, but it took Maddalena eleven years to provide him with a
copy. After translating and editing the material, it took another
two years for the book to be published. Its fifteen chapters
portray the origins, beliefs, rituals and spells of an Italian
pagan witchcraft tradition. The central figure of that religion is
the goddess Aradia, who came to Earth to teach the practice of
witchcraft to peasants in order for them to oppose their feudal
oppressors and the Catholic Church.
Whether you are new to witchcraft or perhaps a more seasoned
enchanter, this beautifully illustrated journal contains everything
you need to learn, practice, and document your spells in one place.

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.
In her latest book, Patricia Crowther explores some of the many
questions she has been asked over almost fifty years as an initiate
of the craft and a high priestess of the Great Goddess. 'What is a
witch's ladder?', 'Why is the left hand associated with the
devil?', 'Is it true that only a young woman can become a high
priestess?' are just some of the questions addressed in these
pages. An acknowledged authority on witchcraft and magic, the
author offers the reader the benefit of her considerable knowledge.
There are sections on Magic Mirrors, the validity of
self-initiation, how to protect yourself against ill-wishing, the
Mansions of the Moon, talismans, the language of flowers and a
guide to running a successful coven. Laced with poetry, this new
paperback edition of Covensense will be an instructive and exciting
addition to any Occultist's library.
