Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft was one of the first books to explore Wicca from a solitary perspective. Originally written 30 years ago to correct abuses he saw occurring in covens, Buckland offered Wiccan seekers an introductory text on Saxon witchcraft or SeaxWicca, which can be practiced alone. Buckland presents meticulously researched information on the time-honored tradition of Saxon witchcraft. He writes cogently and informatively about the history, mythology, spiritual practices, and witchcraft of Saxon England.

Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft includes everything the solitary witch needs to practice SeaxWicca, including:

  • Descriptions of the Saxon deities and explanations of their primary beliefs
  • An introduction to the magical runic Saxon alphabet
  • A selection of original Pagan songs
  • A selection of Seax-Wiccan recipes for intoxicants
  • Instructions for initiation ceremonies, the eight Sabbats, marriage, birth, and death rites
  • An explanation of the art and practice of Saxon Galdra or magic and the divination and herbal lore used for protection, love potions, and healing
  • The Seax-Wicca Rite of Self-Dedication, which allows individuals to form their own covens and initiate themselves into the Craft.

 

An indispensable handbook for solitary witches or for witches in covens who want to explore Saxon witchcraft. Originally published as The Tree: The Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft, this edition offers a new introduction by the author to guide a new generation of witches into the art and practice of Seax-Wicca.

Crystal skulls are human-skull hardstone carvings often made of clear or milky white quartz known as "rock crystal." They are allegedly pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts and can be found in the permanent collections of a number of world-class museums, including the Smithsonian and the British Museum.

In occult and metaphysical circles, the skulls have magical and healing qualities.

In this book, best-selling occultist and crystal expert Judy Hall provides a basic primer on crystal skulls including 'What they are', 'Where they are found', 'Their role in legend and lore around the world' and 'Their uses for physical and psychic healing'.

Also included here in this stunning introductory text is an examination of the prominent "skull keepers" of the past 100 years and how to use and communicate with a crystal skull.

This is a terrific book for those interested in occult and ancient mysteries and/or the power of gems and crystals.

Spirit Work in the Norse Tradition

Raven Kaldera , Galina Krasskova

· Explains how to build relationships with Earth, Sun, Moon, Plants,
Animals, Water, Fire, Craft, Air and the Ancestors through 83
practical exercises
· Explores the role of altered states in spirit work
· Outlines the ancient cultural rules and taboos to avoid spiritual
debt or offence

We are all surrounded by spirits. Many people feel called to work with them, but few know where to begin. Enjoined by the gods and spirits to fulfill this need, Raven Kaldera and Galina Krasskova have reconstructed the indigenous spiritual traditions of northern Europe and Scandinavia extinguished more than one thousand years ago by the spread of Christianity. Arising from basic survival needs, these practical traditions are fundamentally tied to the elements found in the harsh world of the ancient North.

Beginning with the skills tied to the Earth element, necessary for grounding prior to the more demanding aspects of the practice - working with Sun, Moon, Plants, Animals, Water, Fire, Craft and Air - the authors explain, step by step, how to build relationships with each elemental spirit and the Ancestors. Offering 83 practical exercises, from cleansing with the Moon or borrowing the legs of Reindeer to making sacred space with Mugwort or creating an ancestor altar, they, also, explore building spirit relationships through altered states. Emphasising the proper management of your spirit relationships to avoid spiritual debt or offense, the authors outline the ancient cultural rules and taboos that circumscribe these practices, essential knowledge for successful and fruitful spirit alliances.

Detailing the initial set of skills needed to work with the spirits of this ancient world, this comprehensive workbook offers a unique ancestral spiritual outlet for those of northern European descent as well as an accessible guide for anyone trying to fulfil their shamanic callings.

The Sea Priestess is the highly acclaimed novel in which Dion Fortune introduces her most powerful fictional character, Vivien Le Fay Morgan- a practicing initiate of the Hermetic Path. Vivien has the ability to transform herself into magical images, and here she becomes Morgan Le Fay, sea priestess of Atlantis and foster daughter to Merlin!

Desperately in love with Vivien, Wilfred Maxwell works by her side at an isolated seaside retreat, investigating these occult mysteries. They soon find themselves inextricably drawn to an ancient cult through which they learn the esoteric significance of the magnetic ebb and flow of the moontides.

My Journey From Darkness to Daylight

Sandra Corcoran

How do you find renewal after loss, especially the loss of a child? How do you find purpose and courage when loss is your constant teacher?

After weeks of profound grief following the loss of her young daughter, Sandra Corcoran found herself inexplicably at a life-changing workshop on indigenous teachings and energy healing. With the first glimpse of the light that called her to the workshop, Corcoran found herself beginning a 30-year metaphysical journey within, initially to heal her grief but eventually leading her from the darkness into the light of her own soul's evolution.

Working with Native elders and indigenous wisdom keepers throughout North, Central and South America, Corcoran opened her heart to the immensity of the living energies of the cosmos and discovered her shamanistic gifts as an intuitive counsellor, dreamtime decoder and facilitator for others' self-healing. As she learned to discern these living energies and work with them, she also discovered the middle path between the soul's dark and luminous energies, striking the balance that allows us to fulfil our destiny.
Sharing the core teachings of her many indigenous and esoteric mentors, including lessons in synchronicity, metaphysics, the extraordinary power of the heart, multidimensional realms and energy healing, Corcoran leads readers on an adventure across continents through birth, death, ceremony and ritual to renewal and the frontiers of expanded consciousness. She shows that no matter how far outside of the familiar we are led, we are guided back to ourselves and offered another opportunity to embrace our world and, ultimately, find our place in it.

· offers a lens into a wide variety of wisdomkeeping traditions and alternative healing paradigms throughout the americas and Europe
· shows how the mystical path enables us to find renewal in times of profound loss
· details the author's awakening to the energies of the cosmos, which can guide us toward our destiny, balanced between our soul's dark and light energies

Weiser Classics

Gerald Gardner , Pam Grossman

Often called the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner's works were ground-breaking in opening the door for the modern revival of Wicca and neo-paganism. THE MEANING OF WITCHCRAFT (first published in 1959) was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch.
“The foundation of magical beliefs,” Gardner wrote, “of which witchcraft is a form, is that unseen Powers exist, and that by performing the right sort of ritual, these Powers can be contacted and either forced or persuaded to assist one in some way. People believed this in the Stone Age, and they believe it, consciously or not, today. It is now well known that most superstition is, in fact, broken-down ritual. 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.”
THE MEANING OF WITCHCRAFT is an enduring and invaluable source book for witches today. This Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Pam Grossman, author of Waking the Witch.

The Western Tradition From Shaman to Magus

Caitlin & John Matthews

Beneath the orthodox religions that lay claim to the soul of Western man runs an esoteric current that has preserved the lore and hermetic traditions of our ancestors. This current has transported generations of seekers some of whom have kept alive the ancient earth wisdom of the shamans while others have tapped into the Gnostic and Egyptian mysteries of the East that allowed for the flowering of high magic in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In WALKERS BETWEEN THE WORLDS the authors reveal the development of both these traditions that were never far beneath the surface of Western culture and how they complement each other. As the orthodox structures of the West appear increasingly hollow and irrelevant the Western way trod by the shaman and the magus remains vital with many practical methods for reawakening awareness and reconnecting with the earth. In addition to its in-depth theoretical analysis WALKERS BETWEEN THE WORLDS contains practical exercises drawn from traditional teaching methods used by both native and hermetic traditions to help the reader explore these mysteries. Previous edition published by Arkana. The authors live in Oxford. · Provides practical exercises to reawaken mystical awareness and reconnect with the ancient mystery traditions of our ancestors · Reveals how earth wisdom and high magic complement one another

Make the most of special days with witchy rites, decorations, and herbal magic touches

She also details other special days throughout the year, such as August 23, the Roman festival of Vulcanalia, which is celebrated with bonfires. Discover, too, how Wiccans celebrate personal rites of passage, such as the naming of a baby and a couple committing to each other in a Wiccan wedding, known as a handfasting. Finally, Silja explains how to write your own daily, weekly, or monthly rituals to bring you peace and happiness. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is your essential guide to all your Wiccan celebrations.

Connecting with Nature's Seasons through Intuitive Magick

Temperance Alden

When we think of the wheel of the year, the Wiccan wheel with its celebrations of the Yule, Beltane, Mabon and Samhain come to mind. But what about a wheel of the year for the rest of us pagans and witches? As a witch living in sunny South Florida, long-time hereditary witch, Temperance Alden, has often felt at odds gearing up to celebrate Yule, for example, when it is 76 degrees and sunny outside.

YEAR OF THE WITCH will help readers create their own intuitive practices in harmony with the climate, culture and local spirits where they live. It's of interest to witches coming off the Wiccan path and looking for a more personal approach to celebrating the rhythms of nature. YEAR OF THE WITCH covers all aspects of this new, seasonal practice:

· The origins of the neo-pagan wheel of the year and why it is still so
relevant today
· Culture, historical facts and traditions associated with the major
ceremonies
· Basic principles of land-based magick
· How to intuitively connect to the nature below your feet and the local
gods
· Being a custodian to the land and its impact on our spiritual practice
