Familiarize yourself with the ways of Wicca with this practical, illustrated guide to the basics of witchcraft. In addition to spells and meditations, this handbook (written by a Wiccan priestess) examines the Wiccan faith and festivals, and what it means to live by magic in the modern world. Each chapter contains a blank section for recording magical experiences and dreams. Interviews with real witches provide unique insights into the religion`s values, and one entire section is devoted to issues surrounding self-initiation. Pragmatic concerns such as working with other witches, ritual requirements, and even how to make a magic wand are included. With a detailed glossary and a who`s who of historical and modern Wicca, any would-be witch can be conjuring in no time.
