"The Wiccan Minister's Manual, A Guide For Priests and Priestesses,
" was inspired as a training aid for those who would like to become
Wiccan Ministers, as well as an aid for Wiccan/Pagan Priests and
Priestesses. The Craft is evolving, becoming more and more accepted
by society, and there is beginning to be a definite distinction
between Wiccan Laity and Wiccan Clergy. Part One - Guidance -
Making the spiritual connection to personal deity through love,
prayer, meditation, ritual, and myth and how to guide others to
create their own personal connections. Part Two - Wiccan religious
philosophy and guidance - How to live a spiritual life in the
modern world. Part Three - various methods of healing mind, body
and spirit - Including some legal pit-falls to avoid, plus chapter
eleven presents an extensive discourse on Pastoral Counseling. Part
Four deals with psychic self-defense and rituals of protection.
Including House Clearings, Banishings, and Exorcism. Additionally,
the author explains what to look for and what to look out for while
determining if an exorcism is really needed or if the client is
suffering from psychosis and is in need of a professional
therapist. Part Five focuses upon the spiritual support roles. It
covers, dealing with death and dying, Funerals, Prison Ministry,
Legal requirements of doing Handfastings in all 50 states, plus a
discourse on whether or not to incorporate. This work begins to
fill yet another gap in this area of the Wiccan religious structure
as it brings back much of the older knowledge and philosophy that
seems to be waning from the collective Wiccan memory. Reviewed by
Edain McCoy; "Kevin, I received my copy of "Wiccan Minister's
Manual" It's terrific You cover everything... Personally, I think
you did a great job at making your book useful to all trads."
Ride on the Back of a Dragon, visit "The Little People," fight an
Epic Battle at Annwn's Slue enter into other realms and worlds as
you explore this book for all ages which presents stories
containing solutions for many of the problems often encountered in
daily life.
This is THE handbook for Clergy of the Wiccan faith. Additionally,
this work would also prove to be a great aid to all other Pagan
paths. There is currently no other book of this sort on the market.
With Handfasting, and funeral services, guided meditations and
spiritual messages this book will be used again and again. "A
Handbook For Wiccan Clergy" is a valuable tool for all High Priests
and High Priestesses of whatever tradition to have and utilize. Far
from being a Wiccan 101, or "spell" book, this work is only
intended for advanced practitioners. "A Handbook For Wiccan
Clergy," continues to pull in rave reviews, HealingWolf of FaDraSha
has said; "This is a "must have" book for more advanced witches. If
you ever counsel others or act as high priest(ess), you'll want
this great reference book." Edain McCoy has also read this work and
has proclaimed it as "Wonderful" and "It is well past time that a
book of this type should be available." Serpent Stone said; "This
book is a wonderful guide for both new and experienced Priests and
Priestesses, and covers areas as varied as Rites of Passage,
mythology (including techniques and rituals for connecting with the
ideas, teaching and energies of the myth), meditations, personal
growth and awareness, and pastoral counseling. All of these are
areas that have been sadly lacking in any comprehensive volume
before this, but which are essential to working effectively as
clergy." And most recently from Marlevane's Book Reviews "This book
gets right down to business. Kevin (Temple of Ishtar) writes this
book geared towards rituals for performing all rites of passages.
No Wiccan Priest or Priestess should be without this book in their
collections Thisbook is a real gem to the Pagan world and to all
magickal practitioners."
