BOOKS - WICCA AND WITCHCRAFT | |
| Wicca Covens | |
![]() |
By Judy Harrow. This book is about covens: what they are and what they do, how to find one and how to form one, and some of the issues covens will face. The author offers her twenty years' experience as a Witch and seventeen years as High Priestess, along with the insights of more than thirty coven leaders of many difference traditions. The contemporary revival of Witchcraft is based on coven practice. Witches gather in covens - mutually committed, closely bonded, small groups of Wiccan Initiates, good friends, and family by choice - to worship the Old Gods and follow the Old Ways. Covens are support groups for our magical and spiritual development, training groups for our future clergy. Paperback, 280 pages |

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. |
