The circumstances of attack vary but include: "crossed conditions" brought on by visiting disturbed or haunted places, aggression from spirits in retribution for human actions like pollution, experimental magick gone wrong, accidental attacks by psychics, and intentional curses by Witches and Magicians. All people, Witches or not, are susceptible to these attacks. The difference: Witches and Magicians can do something about it. Now you can too.

The Craft of the Picts
By Raymond Buckland
From the ancient misty Highlands of Scotland to modern-day America come the secrets of solitary Witchcraft practice. Scottish Witchcraft explores "PectiWita," or the craft of the Picts, the mysterious early Keltic people. The Scottish PectiWita tradition differs in many ways from the Wicca of England-there is little emphasis on the worship of the gods (though it is there), but more on the living and blending of magick into everyday life.

By Migene González-Wippler
A "Book of Shadows" is simply the title used for a witch's journal-the place where each witch chronicles all matters of spiritual relevance over the course of a lifetime. González-Wippler, a witch and devotee of the Gardnerian tradition, uses this idea of the "witch's journal" to introduce readers to the basics of witchcraft, creating an encyclopedia-like book of terms, initiation ceremonies and a glossary of herbs and incenses, all by way of mimicking what is normally detailed in a personal "Book of Shadows." Beginning with a brief history of witchcraft, González-Wippler then describes the witch's coven, major festivals and three initiation ceremonies. Her discussions are certainly knowledgeable and thorough, if not exciting. Those looking for a "how-to" guide for becoming a witch will find this a useful, well-written resource.

Alchemists and magicians have always recognized and used the four Elements. Most people who have studied magick know that there are four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, with a nebulous fifth Element, Spirit. But for many, there appears to be no practical purpose in learning much about the Elements, except perhaps as a basic but necessary building block for further knowledge, and so they run through the learning process as quickly as possible. This book demonstrates that these Elements demand further exploration because they are so basic and rudimentary to the world in which we live. It explains in depth the energies and forces that lie behind each of the Elements. It also explains the all-important and powerful Elemental Spirits that belong to each Element and how these Spirits frequently work with humans in workings that interest them.

The key to all Wiccan practice is ultimately solitary because developing real growth and awareness begins inside each individual. The Solitary Wiccan's Bible is for any reader wanting to go deeper into his or her understanding and experience of Wiccaalone. There are many reasons people seek a solitary path: fear of charlatans, concern about co-workers finding out or being misunderstood by others, or lack of family or social support for Wiccan practice. The Solitary Wiccan's Bible uses the metaphor of a solitary pilgrim walking a path and discovering natural and spiritual truths along the way. This pilgrimage is based on the ancient symbology of the Pentagram enclosed in the triple circle. The Solitary Wiccan's Bible leads the pilgrim to cross the circles, moving from the Wilderness through the Home and Astral realms, to achieve the central Spiritual realm. Always down-to-earth and easy to understand, The Solitary Wiccan's Bible clearly lays out the Wiccan paths so any reader can follow.
The Solitary Wiccan's Bible provides background and practice in clear, accessible, and often humorous prose, making the book immediately useful to first-time seekers and long-time practitioners alike.

Grounding Your Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature

Fans and followers of Starhawk (The Spiral Dance; etc.), a founding member of the Reclaiming Tradition of Witchcraft, will welcome her latest offering. Well organized, each chapter contains reminiscences of personal and group experiences, exercises and suggestions for prayer and ritual. Many of her tenets apply not only to those interested in the practice of Wicca but to readers seeking a better understanding of the world around them: "Once we have learned to hear, then we can begin to understand. And only after we understand do we begin to speak, to intervene." Yet she astutely cautions: "To change a drum rhythm in a group of drummers, you first have to match it and join with it. But when you are within a system, part of the whole, that system is also changing you. It is difficult to maintain your own rhythm and not simply become part of what you are trying to change." Starhawk presents an array of exercises and practices for sharpening observation and listening skills. She engages readers' spirits and minds through her illustrative storytelling, offering ways to communicate more fully with the world and suggesting ways to act.

This is a book of spells for beginning and intermediate Witches who practice the Craft alone. "Solitary Witches," writes Holland, "are those who practice the Craft without a coven or other group. Some Witches are solitary because of circumstances, but the rest of us are solitary by choice... we feel no need to join a formal group. We like our independence and prefer the freedom to do things our own way. This book's spells are all designed to be cast by a single Witch, working alone." Clear and easy to follow, it explains how to prepare and cast spells, lists the materials needed for each spell, and provides the incantations to say that will ensure the best results. Holland suggests alternatives to hard-to-find ingredients as well as directions about where to find specific ingredients crucial to a spell's success. Also included is an index of spells to make it easy to find the spell you need. The book offers spells for every need, including love, money, wishes, uncrossing, protection, and problem-solving.

Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defense
By Christopher Penczak
Penczak fills a niche need with this balanced daily approach to psychic wellness. This is a clear, accessible, and useful manual for those who wish to align their Will regularly with nature's processes and elements for healthy living. Beginning with the premise that "90% of all psychic attacks are not attacks, but self-created illusions," Penczak goes on to delineate the genuine need for protection from such forces as physical harm; harmful energy, judgments and projections; evil eyes; time traps; psychic vampires (drainers of energy, vitality and emotion); unenlightened gurus; past life energies and last but not least, oneself. Subsequent chapters discuss the symptoms of a person in need of psychic protection, then describe methods of diagnosis and physical, emotional and spiritual self-purification. Penczak identifies graphic protection symbols (designs, stones, etc.), as well as tools to evoke protective spirits. The book's real philosophical beauty is in the final chapter that addresses the dilemma of competitive magick.

Attaining Higher Spirituality Through a Five-Degree System
By Shanddaramon
Within modern Wicca, the urge still exists to find a particular school. Covens are an option for some, but they can be hard to find. Even when you find one, it may not satisfy your particular quest. Other practitioners live in areas where it is not as easy to "come out of the broom closet," so they have little access to groups. Additionally, many people who desire more direct access to their god or goddess choose to practice alone. Self-Initiation for the Solitary Witch is the solution for all of these dilemmas. This much-needed text leads practitioners through five-degree studies, from beginning concepts all the way through more advanced and integrative practices: First Degree: Path of Intellect, Second Degree: Path of the Heart, Third Degree: Path of the Soul, Fourth Degree: Path of the Physical, and Fifth Degree: Path of the Mysterious. Each Degree is a complete course of study. If you are looking for a path to further spiritual development that you can do in your own time and on your own terms, this is the one book you need.

By Gerald B. Gardner, Margaret Murray
Commemorating its 50th anniversary, an expanded edition of the first Wicca book, by the father of the Pagan renaissance. Written shortly after the repeal of the English Witch laws in 1954, WITCHCRAFT TODAY offered the world a new religion, Wicca, and captured the imaginations of spiritual seekers everywhere. The author, Gerald Gardner, was writing about a small, secret coven of hereditary Witches, brave people who had hidden their faith for centuries to avoid persecution. His descriptions of their practices and history, their working tools and festivals, impelled a rediscovery of indigenous British religion and, globally, fueled a movement now boasting between 3 and 5 million members, making Wicca one of the fastest growing religions. To celebrate the anniversary, Citadel Press is proud to be republishing Gardner's book in an expanded edition with contributions from today's Wiccan elders on the religion's past, present, and future. From Picts and pixies to Knights Templars and persecution; from Celtic cauldrons to Kabbalitic magic, Witchcraft Today also includes important biographical information on Gardner and his historical context.

A sourcebook for all witches and pagans, this much sought-after volume is finally available again. First published in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed, it was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practising witch. Gardners book opened the door for the modern revival of Wicca and neo-paganism. It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch. "The meaning of witchcraft is to be found, not in strange religious theories about God and Satan, but in the deepest levels of the human mind, the collective unconscious, and the earliest developments of human society. It is the deepness of the roots that has preserved the tree." The Meaning of Witchcraft is an invaluable source book for witches today. Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs * The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft * Druidism and the Aryan Celts * Magic Thinking * Curious Beliefs about Witches * Signs and Symbols * The Black Mass * Some Allegations Examined

By Erica Jong, Joseph A. Smith
This witch's brew of a book is back in all its tantalizing glory to enchant a new generation of readers. Bestselling author Erica Jong here turns her attention to the fantastical and factual world of witchcraft. In beguiling poetry and prose, she looks at the figure of the witch both as historical reality and as archetype- as evil crone and full-breasted seductress, as a lingering vestige of a primeval religion and a projection of fear of the unknown.
Joseph A. Smith's powerful, haunting illustrations enliven each page, as Jong investigates the witch as a survivor of the age of sorcery, as a scapegoat for male-dominated church-state politics, as a remarkable natural healer, and as a hexer without peer. Real recipes for love potions and flying lotions, along with formulas for spells and incantations, make this book a rich journey of mystery and delight. Available in paperback for the first time, Witches has been a favorite since it was published more than 20 years ago- a testament to the enduring fascination with the myths and truths about these intriguing figures.

Spirituality, Mysteries, and Training in Modern Wicca
By Janet Farrar, Gavin Bone
This is the most radical work to date by Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, arguably the world's leading experts on the subject of Modern Witchcraft and the Neo-Pagan movement. It is nothing less than their detailed analysis of the way Witchcraft has evolved into the worldwide religion that it is today...and their vision of its future. The authors do not create or endorse a specific Witchcraft tradition, but rather identify a system that is at the root of all of the existing paths within Witchcraft. They show how Wicca is a modern, non-dogmatic dynamic tradition still in a state of evolution-a Priesthood based on connection with the Divine and service to humanity. Here is a book for anyone interested in Wicca, from seekers just beginning on the path of the Old Ways to those thirsting for more knowledge about its inner practices.

Healing Arts, Shamanic Practices, and Forbidden Plants
By Claudia Muller-Ebeling
An in-depth investigation of traditional European folk medicine and the healing arts of witches. Explores the outlawed "alternative" medicine of witches suppressed by the state and the Church and how these plants can be used today. The authors take the reader on a journey that examines the women who mix the potions and become the healers; the legacy of Hecate; the demonization of nature's healing powers and sensuousness; the sorceress as shaman; and the plants associated with witches and devils. They explore important seasonal festivals and the plants associated with them, such as wolf's claw and calendula as herbs of the solstice and alder as an herb of the time of the dead-Samhain or Halloween. They also look at the history of forbidden medicine from the Inquisition to current drug laws, with an eye toward how the sacred plants of our forebears can be used once again.

Exploring the Mysteries of the Craft from Birth to Summerland
By A. J. Drew
If you have ever wondered if there is more to religion than ancient rituals, then this book is for you. If you have already come to the realization that Wicca is the religion for you, then this book will help fill in those many blanks that have been left by other books. Making no attempt to dictate religious dogma or routine, the author illustrates the many issues a person's religion should address and shows how he has found answers to those issues through the practice of a modern religion, which has, in part, been structured on some of the oldest principles of the ancient world. He examines the four stages of life from this perspective. Maiden and Master - Birth, Wiccaning, and Self-Dedication. - Mother and Father - Initiation, Mating Customs, and Pregnancy. - Crone and Sage - Grandchildren, Suicide, and Death. - Middle Ground - Reincarnation, Summerland, and Winterland.
