In addition to card descriptions and meanings, Dugan's companion guide features spell-enhancing spreads―such as the Triple Goddess Spread, the Four Elements Spread, and the Wheel of the Year Spread―that you can use in both Tarot readings and magickal practice.

Harold Roth is a leading authority on plant/herbal magic. His new book, The Witching Herbs, is an in-depth exploration of 13 essential plants and herbs most closely associated with witchcraft 13 because it s the witching number and reflects the 13 months of the lunar calendar. The plants are poppy, clary sage, yarrow, rue, hyssop, vervain, mugwort, wormwood, datura, wild tobacco, henbane, belladonna, and mandrake.
Roth writes simply and clearly on a vast amount of esoteric information that is not easily found elsewhere and will be greeted enthusiastically by those who already have extensive experience and libraries. It is unique in that it combines mysticism with practical instructions for growing each plant, based on Roth s 30 years of gardening expertise. Each chapter focuses on one plant and includes information on its unique plant spirit familiar, clear how-to instructions for magical projects, and pragmatic information on growing and cultivating.
Roth writes, This book is a great choice for intermediate-to-advanced witches who would like to work more closely with the traditional witching herbs, especially the baneful plants with their rather difficult spirits. Working directly with spirits is one of the fundamentals of the Craft.
The Witching Herbs is the essential plant-worker s guide. Roth is not only a successful gardener, but also a magician and scholar of the occult. No other book blends clear, practical gardening techniques with equally lucid and sophisticated plant magic so successfully.

Shadow work-the exploration of the darker side of oneself and the
world-is often misunderstood. It is not about hiding in the
darkness, but instead about a rewarding process of
self-transformation unlocked by understanding all facets of
yourself. In The Oracle of Pluto artist Rose Ides and author Aubrey
Houdeshell use Plutonian archetypes to guide the user through the
process of shadow work. Whimsical illustrations that nod to shadow
puppetry enhance the process of unearthing this other side of
ourselves, allowing for potent transformations for seekers of all
kinds. This set includes: * 55 full-colour oracle cards. These
vibrantly illustrated cards (3 X 5") depict images of hands
projecting shadow puppets of archetypes like the Crow, the Tiger,
and the Spider. * A 112-page paperback guidebook. This enclosed
guide will help the user get in touch with their undiscovered self
through the themes of self-awareness, shadow, transformation,
empowerment, evolution and integration. * Magnetic closure case.
This durable magnetic closure case is perfectly sized for travel or
display, and holds the paperback book and cards securely in
dedicated sleeves.

Bestselling Wiccan author Lisa Chamberlain has created the perfect,
concise guide for the novice witch who wants to learn how to cast
key Wiccan spells. With the help of this accessible guide by one of
the most popular Wicca authors today, even beginners can
successfully perform Wiccan spells to bring positive experiences
into their life--and the lives of those they love. From thousands
of potential spells, Lisa has chosen 50 of the most important,
distilling them into three key categories of magical aims: love and
relationships, including friends and family (such as "Relationship
Potential Divine Forecast" and "Spare Key Spell for Spiritual
Connection"); wealth and prosperity ("Honey Abundance Jar" and "Job
Interview Success Spell"); and health and well-being ("Anxiety
Calming Spell" and "Protection Spell for Pets"). Plus, there's a
section on divination and spellwork involving essential oils, moon
phases, and homemade ingredients--from an avocado beauty spell to a
chicory root victory charm.
Salem witchcraft will always have a magnetic pull on the American
psyche. During the 1692 witch trials, more than 150 people were
arrested. An estimated 25 million Americans--including author Diane
Foulds--are descended from the twenty individuals executed. What
happened to our ancestors? "Death in Salem" is the first book to
take a clear-eyed look at this complex time, by examining the lives
of the witch trial participants from a personal perspective.
Massachusetts settlers led difficult lives; every player in the
Salem drama endured hardships barely imaginable today. Mercy Short,
one of the "bewitched" girls, watched as Indians butchered her
parents; Puritan minister Cotton Mather outlived all but three of
his fifteen children. Such tragedies shaped behavior and, as Foulds
argues, ultimately played a part in the witch hunt's outcome. A
compelling "who's who" to Salem witchcraft, "Death in Salem"
profiles each of these historical personalities as it asks: Why was
this person targeted?

First and foremost, Witchcraft or Wicca is a religion. In "The
Sabbats, "Edain McCoy reveals the eight major holidays of this
faith and the many ways in which they are celebrated.
There are two basic types of holidays. The first come at the
Solstices and Equinoxes. The others divide the time between those
dates in two, resulting in eight major holidays or Sabbats with
approximately the same amount of days between them. The balance,
here, gives the appearance of spokes in a wheel, so this cycle is
commonly called the Wheel of the Year.
The holidays represent two things. First, the harvest cycle. Each
holiday represents a time in the growth of crops. From planting to
growth, from harvesting to letting the lands lie fallow in the cold
winter, the festivals follow the agricultural cycles of ancient
times. However, they also represent the eternal love of the God and
Goddess, following the God's birth from the Goddess and his death
before she gives birth to him again. This also follows the pattern
of the Sun which moves from warm and high in the sky to cold and
low in the sky.
The book is filled with ways you can follow the Wheel of the Year,
whether you work with a coven, with your family, or by yourself.
You will learn the secrets of ritual construction and handicrafts
appropriate to each of the festivals. You will also learn recipes
for traditional foods for each holiday and even songs appropriate
to the Sabbats.
This is a wonderful, joyous book filled with color, information,
and wisdom. If you are involved with Paganism in any way, this book
is a must for your studies and practices. This book functions as
both a resource and as a practical manual for the celebration of
the holidays. Get your copy today.
This work about witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, necromancy,
damnation, satanism and every kind of magic and occult is written
by the undisputed scholar in the field and is a work of
unprecedented authority - of interest to all who are connected with
the subject.
