BOOKS - WICCA AND WITCHCRAFT | |
| Wicca A-Z | |
 |
By Gerina Dunwich. Wicca A to Z explores the fascinating world of Witchcraft, from ancient legend through present-day Wicca and contemporary Paganism. No aspect of Wicca is overlooked in this remarkably comprehensive book, which features well over 500 entries and numerous illustrations. Here are explanations of all the different traditions, sabbats, and rituals of the Wiccan spiritual path, as well as Wiccan jargon and folklore, amulets and talismans, herbs and gemstones. And as Wicca is essentially a Goddess-oriented religion and craft, this compendium covers the many pagan goddesses worldwide who collectively represent the power, beauty, and magick of the divine feminine. Arranged alphabetically by name, each entry discusses how each has influenced contemporary Paganism. Written by a Wiccan high priestess, and arranged in A-to-Z format, this unique encyclopedia is an excellent guide for all who are interested in Goddess worship, folklore, the New Age, the occult sciences, and the Wiccan Craft as a positive spiritual path and way of life. It will be an invaluable addition to any Wiccan library. Paperback, 195 pages |

| Wicca for Beginners | |
 |
by Thea Sabin. In her first book-length work, Sabin presents a first-rate, fresh and thorough addition to the burgeoning field of earth-based spiritual practice volumes. Sometimes using examples that young people can relate to (SATs, dying grandmothers), she opens the door to this path for people of all ages who want concrete beginnings to 'work actively and spiritually to develop as a person.' Sabin covers well the familiar territory of the calendar, circle, pentagram, tools, etc., but she shines distinctively in several areas. The first is in Wiccan history, written in a light, informative style that magically mines depth, breadth and brevity. Another is in the emphasis on personal will and ethical practices that transcend reliance on external paraphernalia. She also deftly shows how the various tools and spells can be put into use, but always encourages practitioners to utilize their own experiences, environment and spiritual intelligence to shape their practice. Especially helpful are the criteria to assess groups and potential teachers, and the volume is capped by a fine bibliography. Sabin advocates consistent study, practice and evolved learning. Gently admonishing her reader not to become a 'one-book wonder,' Sabin has nearly voided her own advice with this important first effort that is perfect for novice Wiccans. Paperback 262 pgs. |

| Witchcraft from the Inside: Origins of the Fastest Growing Religious Movement in America | |
 |
by Raymond Buckland. The word Witchcraft has been misunderstood for centuries. In the past 500 years, millions of people have faced persecution, torture, and even death after being accused of practicing Witchcraft. For many people the word 'Witch' still conjures up images of secret spells and diabolical midnight rituals. So what exactly is Witchcraft (also called Wica or Wicca), and how did it evolve into one of today's fastest-growing religions? Witchcraft From the Inside presents the history of Witchcraft--from its roots in ancient fertility religions, to the madness of the Malleus Maleficarum and the European Witch trials, to the growth of modern Wicca in Britain and the United States. Essays contributed by leading Wiccan authorities explore the present state of Wicca and provide a glimpse into the future of this peaceful nature religion. Author Ray Buckland studied Witchcraft under Gerald Gardner, the man largely credited for the revival of Witchcraft and the establishment of Wicca as a modern religion. Mr. Buckland was instrumental in bringing Gardnerian Witchcraft from England to the United States and is considered to be one of the leading American authorities on Witchcraft. Softcover, 240 pgs. |

Primal peoples all over the world embrace the ideas discussed in this work: the animistic worldview, spiritual communion with the dead and the Unseen World, sorcery and magic.

It helps to unlock the hidden wisdom in folklore, shed light on the enigma of the human being, and manifest an experience of the wisdom of the Old Ways- insofar as a book can. This book is about getting out of books and back into the spiritual dimension of the Land itself, and requires considerable dedication and work. Originally self-published by the author, this is the third edition of this popular book. This is a 366 page softcover book. |
