A spell's power comes from writing about and truly understanding
the intention behind it. By blending journal entries with spells
that help you manifest the best version of yourself, Spellcraft is
the perfect living grimoire for a new witch. Anyone can follow a
recipe for a spell, but with Spellcraft, your practice becomes
exclusively yours. Reflect on the purpose of your magic and then
learn how to build spells from a host of composite parts on your
witch's journey to self-discovery. Tuning in to past events,
unconscious biases, and the connections that your own mind casts
will help you lay down the groundwork for growth, give yourself
hope in trying times, and manifest new opportunities. White magic
spells for 28 cleansing rituals and enchantments are accompanied by
3-5 prompts to encourage personal development. A section on spell
building to hone your craft outlines the important aspects
(crystals, moon phases, incense, or other magnifying components) of
making magic. Learn how to make wishes come true and complete
rootwork that will help you grow taller and wiser. Maintain your
practice with spells and journal prompts revolving around the Wheel
of the Year, a cycle of pagan holidays (such as Yule and Ostara)
that follow the seasons and revolve around equinoxes and solstices.
Light up the magic that is already inside of you. Choose happiness
and then bring it into the world. The Everyday Inspiration Journals
series has a guided journal for every self-improvement journey.
Whatever your personal goal, whether it is to incorporate more
positivity into your life, or to slow down and find calm, or to
hone your spell-building craft, or something else, you will find in
this series an elegant journal in which you can record your
thoughts, aspirations, and progress. With a simple, easy-to-follow
structure, each journal is filled with powerful prompts and helpful
trackers to illuminate your way. Other titles in this series
include: Be Happy: A Journal, Beautifully Brave Journal, Everyday
Calm: A Journal, Find Your Mantra, Finding Gratitude : A Journal,
and Self Care.
In this vivid account, Kryiacos C Markides introduces to us the
rich and intricate world of Daskalso, The Magus of Strovolos. In
what appears at first to be an exercise in fantasy, we see Daskalos
draw on seemingly unlimited mixture of esoteric teachings,
psychology, reincarnation, demonology, cosmology and mysticism,
from both eastern and western traditions. But Daskalos is first and
foremost a healer, whose work is firmly rooted in a belied in
'Holyspirit' or absolute love, and whose aim is the expansion of
reason and spiritual evolution.
In the febrile religious and political climate of late
sixteenth-century England, when the grip of the Reformation was as
yet fragile and insecure, and underground papism still perceived to
be rife, Lancashire was felt by the Protestant authorities to be a
sinister corner of superstition, lawlessness and popery. And it was
around Pendle Hill, a sombre ridge that looms over the intersecting
pastures, meadows and moorland of the Ribble Valley, that their
suspicions took infamous shape. The arraignment of the Lancashire
witches in the assizes of Lancaster during 1612 is England's most
notorious witch-trial. The women who lived in the vicinity of
Pendle, who were accused alongside the so-called Samlesbury
Witches, then convicted and hanged, were more than just wicked
sorcerers whose malign incantations caused others harm. They were
reputed to be part of a dense network of devilry and mischief that
revealed itself as much in hidden celebration of the Mass as in
malevolent magic. They had to be eliminated to set an example to
others. In this remarkable and authoritative treatment, published
to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the case of the
Lancashire witches, Philip C Almond evokes all the fear, drama and
paranoia of those volatile times: the bleak story of the storm over
Pendle

Chilling real-life accounts of witches, from medieval Europe
through colonial America
From a manual for witch hunters written by King James himself in
1597, to court documents from the Salem witch trials of 1692, to
newspaper coverage of a woman stoned to death on the streets of
Philadelphia while the Continental Congress met, "The Penguin Book
of Witches" is a treasury of historical accounts of accused witches
that sheds light on the reality behind the legends. Bringing to
life stories like that of Eunice Cole, tried for attacking a
teenage girl with a rock and buried with a stake through her heart;
Jane Jacobs, a Bostonian so often accused of witchcraft that she
took her tormentors to court on charges of slander; and Increase
Mather, an exorcism-performing minister famed for his knowledge of
witches, this volume provides a unique tour through the darkest
history of English and North American witchcraft, never failing to
horrify, intrigue, and delight.
Taking a magickal approach to this often misunderstood
spirituality, Christopher Penczak explores the fascinating path of
ascension. "Ascension Magick" unveils the diverse mystical roots of
ascension, and highlights where the beliefs and practices of
today's "light workers" intersect with those of modern pagans,
witches, and magick practitioners. It also examines the practical
side-various forms of magick, energy healing, meditation, past life
regression, channeling, dowsing-and provides helpful meditations,
spells, and exercises. From angels and aliens to reincarnation and
the Merkaba, Penczak leaves no stone unturned in this remarkably
thorough and absorbing examination of ascension spirituality and
magick.
