Description

Witchcraft is a nature religion that typically worships the Goddess and God as embodied in nature. It empowers women and men, celebrates sexuality, offers techniques for entering altered states of consciousness and venerates the earth. Magic rituals are at the heart of modern witchcraft. In these rituals witches dance, chant and celebrate life. They use magical techniques to change their lives, casting spells to heal a broken heart, celebrate life stages, improve their love life and find direction for a hard decision. Rituals are also a doorway to meeting the God and Goddess and to mystical experience and a path to self-discovery. In this text, witches, Wicca and pagan practitioners with many years experience tell stories of their own journeys in the craft. They address a number of questions, including: what are the different types of witches; what is it like when you first experience magic; what do witches believe; how do witches do spells; how do you find other witches to work with; and what are the dangers involved in witchcraft
