This text carries on the tradition of the solo village witch, emphasizing white rather than black magic. It is a practical manual of instruction for those who choose the solo path of study and particularly stresses the importance of being in tune with nature. As there are approximately 13 moons each year - the book is divided into 13 parts. Each section is aimed at lasting from the new moon to the dark to make the student fully aware of the changing power in the tides of the sea and the tides of the self. The moon-long sections deal with a variety of taditional arts, skills and mental exercises which enables the aspiring witch to discover the inner world of magic inside him/herself.
"A must-read." --P. Randall Cohan "Invaluable to the newcomer to paganism."--Mystical Realms
Marian Green is a writer and teacher, having completed eighteen books on witchcraft, magic and the Western Mystery Tradition. She has taught different aspects of country witchcraft, modern ceremonial magic, divination and philosophy in England and Europe. Living in the West Country, surrounded by ancient sacred sites, stone circles and magical towns like Glastonbury and Bath, she leads small groups of students to explore these mystical sites and the latest esoteric arts. Marian prefers the older manner of communication by real letters as electronic methods allow no actual contact between the sender and recipient. Magic works through direct contact aided by ancient knowledge. Her latest book Natural Witchcraft reveals the arts and skills of the village witch to anyone with the determination and patience to explore them. Her other books include A Witch Alone and the forthcoming Wild Witchcraft. As well as editing Quest magazine for over 30 years, she recently took over the editorship of Pagan Dawn, the journal of the Pagan Federation, the largest pagan organisation in the world.
