A unique mix of memoir and how-to that includes practical daily
Pagan rituals, this inspiring book shows how one woman blended
Christian traditions with the magic and beauty of a Wiccan
practice.

Adelina St. Clair spent many years questioning and soul-searching
before she found a way to blend aspects of Wicca and Christianity
into a vibrant and loving belief system. Filled with personal
anecdotes, this book tells the story of St. Clair's journey of
self-discovery and revelation, from her initial fear and guilt to
her ultimate sense of peace and joy.
With warmth and heartfelt reverence, St. Clair discusses vital
aspects of Witchcraft and Christianity, as well as the
commonalities between the two. -- Monotheism vs. polytheism--

This book carries on the tradition of the solo village witch emphasizing white rather than black magic. It is a practical manual of instruction for those who choose the solo path of study and particularly stresses the importance of being in tune with nature. As there are approximately 13 moons each year – the book is divided into 13 parts. Each section is aimed at lasting from the new moon to the dark to make the student fully aware of the changing power in the tides of the sea and the tides of the self. The moon-long sections deal with a variety of taditional arts, skills and mental exercises which enables the aspiring witch to discover the inner world of magic inside him/herself.
Witchcraft...into the wilds leads us through the wilds of nature
and back to the roots and bones of witchcraft, a natural witchcraft
that works with the seasons and all the natural items that Mother
Nature provides, drawing on magical folk lore and a little bit of
gypsy magic too. No fancy tools or ceremonial rituals, this is
about working with the source. Mother Earth provides us with the
changing of the seasons and within that turning of the year she
gives us everything we need to work magic with, from natural energy
in the form of storms, rain and sunshine to tangible items packed
full of magical energy such as seeds, leaves and stones.
