AN ABC OF WITCHCRAFT PAST AND PRESENT

This is the only book of its kind on witchcraft that has been written by a practising witch. It is intended to be not merely a history, but a guide to the many strange byways of a vast and fascinating subject. Witchcraft is as old as the human race, and it is actively practised today, by people of all classes. To its devotees, witchcraft is more than spells and charms, or even secret meetings and rituals; it is a philosophy and a way of life. It claims to be the oldest form of religion, that of nature-worship and magic.

The author has studied the occult for more than twenty years. She has been initiated into four different branches of the witch cult that flourishes in Britainamzn-crt.gif (3625 bytes)today. Since the last Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951, the revival of public interest in witchcraft has been the subject of continuous controversy. This book seeks to be a serious contribution to the study of a subject too long obscured by prejudice and sensationalism.  


NATURAL MAGIC

Magic is all around us. All we need is the ability to see and understand. This book tells how to practise the age-old white magic that village wise-women have used for centuries.

It deals with the magic of herbs and flowers, of the four elements, of numbers and colours, amulets and talismans, how to read cards, how to interpret dreams, and much more. There are chapters on the secrets of sex-magic, and on the use of traditional spells. If you want to learn to charm warts, to cast aamzn-crt.gif (3625 bytes)love-spell, or to plant a magical garden, this book will tell you how. It will also instruct you how to protect yourself against black magic and the evil eye. An essentially practical treatise, which sets out to show how, in this new Age of Aquarius, magic can be for everyone; how, indeed, it has always been inherent in human life and nature.  


THE REBIRTH OF WITCHCRAFT

The Rebirth of Witchcraft traces the history of contemporary Wicca from it's shadowy roots at the turn of the century to the present day. Doreen Valiente presents details never before published, some of them very revealing and surprising, on:
• The leading figures in this rebirth from Gerald Gardner to Starhawk, and many others
• Her own participation in rituals and involvement with the Craft
• Her personal psychic experiences
Until now no one has told the real story of witchcraft from the inside as frankly as it is revealed here. In these pages Doreen Valiente presents fascinating reading for both the novice and experienced practitioner alike. amzn-crt.gif (3625 bytes)

WITCHCRAFT FOR TOMORROW

Witchcraft for Tomorrow.jpg (8859 bytes) Since the publication of her previous books on witchcraft, Doreen Valiente has received many letters asking can 1 find a witches' coven ? How can 1 become a witch This book gives the answers.
It tells you what the old religion of witchcraft has to offer the new age of Aquarius; how the age-old Craft of the Wise can be practised in the modern world; how to initiate yourself as a witch and found your own coven. The author has been a practising witch since 1953, and in this book she gives a new Book of Shadows (the witches' handbook of rituals and instructions) based upon ancient magical tradition but geared to the age of the future. Included are witch songs, spells, incantations and practical advice on how to run a coven and how to acquire your own collection of magical implements; as well as methods of divination and other witch lore that has never before been published.
The author tells how the oral traditions of witchcraft throw light not only upon the origins of the present-day witch cult and the activities of the witch leader George Pickingill and his nine covens, but also upon the mystery of the founding of the famous magical order, the Golden Dawn. Also discussed is the relationship between the witchcraft of Britainamzn-crt.gif (3625 bytes)and Europe and the magical beliefs of the Far East. Do both traditions hark back to the legendary city of Shamballah and to the shamanistic practices of Asia ? And why do the secret circles of the witches resemble those of the Tantric sex-magic of India ?This book does not fear to be controversial and outspoken, addressed as it is to the outlook of the new age.


WITCHCRAFT  A Tradition Renewed
Evan John Jones with Doreen Valiente, Preface by Doreen Valiente

    A very personal account that reveals the ancient rituals and philosophy of witchcraft. Once a part of Robert Cochrane's coven, the authors delve deep into modern witchcraft, exploring its very ancient roots. The rudiments of the craft and the nature of the rites are shown to revolve around traditional witchcraft passed down through families from earliest times rather than the modern Gardnerian and Alexandrian versions.
        The authors give revelatory information on the members and oaths of the coven, its working toolsamzn-crt.gif (3625 bytes)and regalia from the stangs to the skull, rituals for the great sabbats, handfasting, purification and the royal cairn. The age-old rites are recalled and reworked for today, as the authors show how witchcraft can indeed be a practical working faith.
