Description

America's most renowned Wiccan shares the beliefs and practices of this sacred feminine spirituality in an introductory book. Modern Wicca, a very old English word meaning 'a wise one who knows the Sacred', is rooted in humanity's oldest religion-shamanism. Wicca is a spiritual path into worlds of wisdom and wonder. In this book, pioneering spiritual teacher and priestess Phyllis Curott will guide readers on that path, sharing key practices that anyone can master, whether they're Wiccan or not, to experience the divine magic of life. Readers will learn- - The spiritual principles of Wicca and how to experience them using Wicca's sacred technology. - How to alter consciousness and open awareness to the Sacred with Wiccan techniques including breathing, meditations, visualizations, journeying, drawing down the moon, and natural ecstatic practices such as drumming and chanting. - Mother Earth's spiritual wisdom and how to attune body, mind, and spirit to Nature's rhythms. - How to create and receive blessings. - How to enter spirit realms and work with spirit guides, power animals, spirits of place, and other nature beings. - The secrets of successful spell casting, how to cast a spell, why some spells don't work. - How to cast a circle, and create sacred space and altars. - How to keep a personal Book of Shadows and a magical journal. - How to practice lunar and Sabbat (holy seasonal) rites...and much more! Most importantly, this book will reveal that magic happens when you open yourself to the Sacred - the first things that magic changes is you. Wicca will teach you the essential spiritual wisdom and practices that will open your heart, your mind, and your spirit to a life of joy and fulfilment.

Wicca Made Easyis pure magic. I was enchanted from the very page. Phyllis Curott has articulated the ancient language and practice of Divinity known as Wicca that speaks to our very bone marrow and welcomes us home to the Sacredness of everyday life.

In this lively and engaging introduction to the rebirth of an ancient wisdom way, Phyllis Curott invites us to embrace the whole of creation as imbued with the sacred and our own bodies as boundlessly holy. This book is a call to community, an endorsement of feminine leadership, a remembrance of our birthright of mutual belonging and beautiful magic.
-Mirabai Starr, author ofGod of LoveandCaravan of No Despair

Wicca offers spiritual wisdom and wholeness that have been missing in the popular culture for millennia. Phyllis Curott takes us beyond the erroneous beliefs of a patriarchal past by embracing the Goddess and bringing forth passion, truth and healing with nature, and for all. Her gem of a book restores Wiccas potent do-able rituals in everyday practice. In co-creating with Mother Nature we can erase habits cemented by misguided history and reclaim inner harmony, grace and gratitude.

Bringing the Old Religion in tune with the modern spirits of Nature, this book is a must for anyone exploring the Craft and its more shamanic aspects and incorporating them into modern Witchcraft practice.

In this fresh and evolved book for newcomers as well as adepts, Phyllis shares her wisdom and life experience with writing that is cohesive, smooth and anchored in a relaxed and welcoming tone.

Phyllis Curott weaves the Wiccan revival together with core shamanism, and this welcomed book provides an accessible guide for blossoming intuition into an awakened personal magic, awareness and purpose. With refreshing clarity, she conveys for people of all genders the appeal of a modern witchcraft that is capable of serving a world in need of a sanely organic and joyful rebalancing.
-Professor Michael York, Bath Spa University, contributor toPagan Ethics

Wicca Made Easycovers the many mysteries of Wiccan theory and practice and reveals itself as far more of an active workbook than a typical reference. Covering the fundamentals with a keen insight honed from years of practice, Phyllis pleasantly places Nature and its beauty in the forefront of her mystical practices.Wicca Made Easywould be a perfect gift for a new initiate eager to begin experiencing Natures powerful and spiritual scope and all things magical.'
