ARADIA
A Modern
Guide to Charles Godfrey Leland’s Gospel of the Witches
by
Craig Spencer
Paperback:
240 pages
Publisher:
Llewellyn Publications (August 8, 2020)
List Price:
$17.99
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
A
Revelatory New Approach to the Influential Witchcraft Classic~
First
published in 1899, Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches is Charles
Godfrey Leland's fascinating record of folk magic, said to have been
revealed to him by hereditary witches of Italy's Romagna and Tuscany
regions. Celebrating the goddess Diana and her daughter Aradia, this
seminal work presents a rich and complete methodology of practice for
those who are willing to engage its unique wisdom.
Aradia
presents Leland's original English manuscript with new
interpretations and translations, including forty lines never before
rendered in English. Craig Spencer provides in-depth commentary that
reveals the rich historical context of this profound work and
provides revelatory analysis that makes the true heart of the
original come alive. You will also discover hands-on instructions for
a unique magical practice based on Leland's remarkable glimpse into
nineteenth-century craft lore. This magical guide is designed to help
you expand and enhance your own modern-day journey through the
enchanted realms of witchcraft.
Reviews:
"An
important document in the history of contemporary Pagan Witchcraft.
Craig Spencer's innovative interpretation builds on the original text
to find in it a rich source of inspiration for personal philosophy
and practice."―Dr. Vivianne Crowley, author of Wicca: The
Old Religion in the Modern World
"Craig
Spencer offers a fresh translation and re-exploration of perhaps the
most important foundation text of the modern witchcraft revival, and
from it draws inspiration for the creation of a workable new system
of devotional and magical Craft."―Gemma Gary, author of
Traditional Witchcraft
"Craig
Spencer's new translation is a valuable contribution to the expanding
canon delving into Leland's profoundly influential Aradia, Gospel of
the Witches, with 40 newly translated lines, a sincere argument that
Leland's errors and indulgences confirm the fundamental legitimacy of
the text, and evidence of the survival of the worship of Diana
amongst the Witches of 'Italy.' More remains to be discovered but
ultimately the deepest and most profound mysteries can only be known
through experience. Spencer focuses on how practitioners can work
with Aradia, and offers a heartfelt collection of personal practices
so the reader will discover that it is Diana's full moon illuminating
the wisdom within every seeker's heart, where the mystery of Aradia
resides."―Phyllis Curott, internationally best-selling
author, attorney, activist, teacher, founder of the Tempio di Ara,
and creator of The Witches' Wisdom Tarot

WITCHCRAFT
AND THE GAY COUNTERCULTURE AND MOON LADY RISING
by
Arthur Evans
Publisher:
White Crane Books, 2020
Paperback
List Price:
$19.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
In 1975
Arthur Evans presented a series of lectures based on his research
into LGBT history and cultural roots in European societies of the
medieval era. The ground-breaking work was subsequently collected
into the 1978 publication of his book Witchcraft and the Gay
Counterculture.
Working
with Arthur at the end of his life, White Crane Books convinced Evans
to gather the remaining materials that
had been edited from the original book —into a
sequel to that book.
Arthur
called it Moon Lady Rising.
We have
combined this new, previously unpublished material with the original
Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture. The Evans Symposium, for the
first time ever, represents the entirety of Arthur Evans material
from those lectures.

SPELLCRAFTING:
A
Beginner's Guide to Creating and Casting Effective Spells
by
Gerina Dunwich
Paperback:
256 pages

Weiser Books (August 1, 2020)
List Price:
$15.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
A
practical and accessible guide with everything you need to know to
craft and cast spells that really work.
A spell,
which some refer to as a Witch’s prayer, is something nearly anyone
can learn.
One does
not need to be initiated into any mystery cults, swear an oath of
dedication to any god or goddess, denounce or convert to any
religion, or even wear the label of a Witch or Wiccan in order to be
a spell crafter. But among the things that are required, the most
important ones are an open mind, true desire, and the will, patience,
self-conviction, and courage to follow what is within one’s heart,
and the maturity to take responsibility for one’s own actions.
Once you
gain an understanding of how magickal energy works and learn the
secrets to casting spells, you will be able to tap into your inner
powers, focus, and direct them utilizing simple items found in the
average home or easily purchased at the nearest occult shop. In fact,
many of the herbs and other ingredients called for in spells can be
found right in your very own kitchen!
The casting
of spells is an ancient art that has played an important role in many
of the cultures and religions throughout the world. This book is
designed to be a guide to the history, philosophy, ethics, and
practical application of spell crafting. Written with the
novice-to-intermediate student in mind, it covers all areas of folk
magick in an explorative and unbiased manner.

THE
SPIRIT OF THE CELTIC GODS AND GODDESSES:
Their
History, Magical Power, and Healing Energies
by Carl
McColman, Kathryn Hinds, Courtney Weber (Foreword)
Paperback:
256 pages
Publisher:
Weiser Books (July 1, 2020)
List Price:
$16.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Brings
the history of these gods and goddesses to life, along with
visualizations, rituals, and exercises to help make them part of the
reader’s spiritual practice.
Figures
like Brigid, Cernunnos, Rhiannon, and the Morrigan are honored for
their magic, their bravery, and their mythical deeds. Among pagans,
the gods and goddesses of Gaul, Ireland, Wales, and the other Celtic
lands rank with the most popular and influential of the Greek, Roman,
Norse, and Egyptian pantheons.
This book
provides an accessible guide for readers to learn about and connect
spiritually with the gods and goddesses of the Celtic lands:
Learn
key features of each of the major Irish, Welsh, and continental
Celtic deities
Discover
the major myths and lore associated with each deity
Create
rituals and magical work appropriate for each deity
Understand
the psychological archetypes of each god and goddess
Forge
true and meaningful relationships with the deities for our time
Relate
the various gods and goddesses to the sabbats and holy days
Entering
the Otherworld
We’d like
to invite you into a fascinating world. It’s a world shaped by
history and mythology, by ancient stories and modern spiritual
yearning. It’s a mystical world where mortals encounter immortals,
where humans live and love alongside powerful beings who can only be
called gods and goddesses. It’s a world of magic and miracles, of
heroes and heroines with extraordinary abilities who fight fearsome
enemies and heart-stopping demons. It’s a world where virtues such
as honor, hospitality, courage, wisdom, and sovereignty (freedom)
matter—where both gods and mortals are willing to fight and die for
such eternal values.
Indeed,
both of us (Carl and Kathryn) have found our mystical center in this
world and, through our visionary excursions there, embraced a
spirituality of meaning, power, love, and joy. And now we invite you
to journey there with us.
Magic
and Mysticism
Much of the
Neo-Pagan community has tended to approach the gods and goddesses
from a primarily magical perspective. This involves relating to the
deities in terms of spiritual power; in other words, focusing on the
energies that the gods and goddesses provide for the manifestation
and achievement of spiritual or mundane goals. Part of the beauty of
Paganism is how positive and affirming it is in this regard—where
other religions can sometimes be heavy-handed in their message of
self-denial, Paganism condones and even celebrates the use of
spiritual energy for taking care of oneself, just because it’s a
good thing to do so.
On our
journey exploring the world of the Celtic deities, however, we’d
like to offer something beyond the traditional Pagan understand-ing
of magic. That “something beyond” is mysticism, a practice that
is centered not on personal fulfillment, but on devotion to the gods
and goddesses for their sake.
Medb:
She Who Intoxicates
One of the
most colorful and striking figures in the Irish tradition appears as
a scheming, manipulative harridan, who is almost single-handedly
responsible for what is perhaps the most tragic event in Irish
mythology, the great cattle raid of Cooley. As she is portrayed in
the stories recorded in the Middle Ages, Queen Medb of Connacht
doesn’t come off well. She is vindictive, aggressive, promiscuous,
cold-hearted, ruthless, and willing to expend the lives of numerous
warriors before sacrificing the smallest bit of pride before her
royal husband.
Indeed,
this warrior queen is portrayed so unsympathetically, any discerning
reader might wonder, Why? What motivated the scribes who first
committed her story to vellum to depict her as such a wan-ton
mistress of death and mayhem? Indeed, this question may be the single
most important gateway into the mysteries of this hidden goddess. For
beneath the capricious, overly aggressive queen, an older and more
appealing figure begins to take shape—not a queen, but a goddess
who may well have been the most sublime personification of
sovereignty (the freedom of the land and the source of the king’s
right to rule) in the history of Ireland.
The first
clue to understanding Medb involves understanding her name. Like
Brigit or the Morrigán, she is a figure whose name is actually a
title—Medb means “she who intoxicates.” It’s a name
etymologically linked to another word that will be familiar to modern
readers with an interest in alcoholic beverages: mead. Indeed, a
variant spelling of her name is Meadhbh. This in itself may not mean
so much—after all, Medb is quite a sexy figure, and wouldn’t it
make sense for a queen with an insatiable appetite for men to be an
intoxicating woman? But her link to fermented honey long predates her
role as a warmonger, for in many Indo-European cultures, rituals of
inauguration for kings included the ceremonial sharing of a sacred
beverage between a priestess (who represented the goddess) and the
new ruler. In Ireland, such rituals were called banais righe, or “the
wedding-feast of kingship,” and included sexual union between the
king and the representative of the goddess, and his receiving a
libation from her. The beverage typically used in such rituals was
wine—or mead.
Indeed, the
inauguration ceremonies indicate that the king’s ability to rule is
bestowed upon him by the goddess/priestess; the sharing of the mead
functions as a symbolic marriage between the king (as representative
of the human community) and the goddess (who personifies the land).
The land goddess herself is Sovereignty—the personification of
freedom and the authority to rule. Many mythic tales depict the close
relationship between the king and this goddess; one well-known legend
concerns a fourth-century Irish king, Niall of the Nine Hostages. As
a young man, he encounters a goddess in the form of an old hag
guarding a well. When the youth agrees to mate with the crone in
exchange for water, he is rewarded with a vision of her in her
divineglory. She declares that she is Sovereignty, and because he has
accepted her, she likewise accepts him as the one worthy to be high
king.

ASATRU:
A
Beginner’s Guide to the Heathen Path
by
Erin Lale
Paperback:
144 pages
Publisher:
Weiser Books (August 1, 2020)
List Price:
$14.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
A clear and
simple introduction to the history, beliefs, rituals, and gods and
goddesses of this popular form of Neo-Pagan belief drawn from ancient
northern European traditions.
Asatru is a
modern pagan tradition whose roots lie in the ancient myths,
folklore, sagas, and historical artifacts of those who lived in
pre-Christian times in what is now Iceland, Scandinavia,
Scandinavian-influenced Scotland, Germany, and other parts of
northern Europe. In Asatru, author and longtime practitioner of
Asatru Erin Lale provides readers an accessible introduction to this
heathen religion, one of the fastest growing religions in United
States and Europe. The book includes these key topics:
A
brief exploration of Asatru’s mythology and prehistory, its
contact with Rome, and its history up to the present day
A
comprehensive survey of Asatru’s many gods and goddesses
The
rituals, including holiday celebrations, toasting rituals,
weddings, and other life events
The
moral virtues of a true Asatruar: courage, honor, loyalty, truth,
hospitality, industriousness, self-discipline, self-reliance, and
steadfastness
The
magical practices of rune divination, spells, and bersarkrgangr (a
form of trance magic)
A
look at the “universalist” and “folkish” interpretations of
the Asatru tradition and the “hijacking” of the symbolism of
the northern European religions in the 19th and early 20th
centuries
Readers new
to Asatru and experts alike will find this book to be an invaluable
resource in understanding this heathen tradition.

It
All Begins with Our Aura
Auras
act as shields, protecting us from outside negative influences that
might affect our psychological and spiritual well-being. In many
cultures and traditions, it is also believed that the aura protects
our physiological status. There are thousands of depictions,
especially in Eastern cultures, of radiance emitting from the
chakras.
We
have a symbiotic relationship with our auras. If we take care of our
aura, our aura will take care of us! A healthy and radiant aura will
easily ward off minute undesirable forces and sustain our existing
conditions, but we must, in turn, keep our auras healthy to maintain
the protection that they provide. Therefore, it is imperative to be
familiar with stimuli that may attack or even injure our precious
shield.
The
Protective Power of Amulets
Amulets
are employed by almost every culture around the world and exist in
many varieties. Most amulets are worn by the bearer and may include
gems, coins, pendants, rings, written words, and plant parts, such as
roots. Listed below are a few typical types of amulets.
Spiritual
deities: The image of a sacred deity is said to be infused with
their powers.
Religious
or spiritual symbolism: Images such as a crucifix or any other
sacred object that contains a representation of protection.
Hamsa
Hand: Believed by many Jews, Muslims, and Christians to ward off
the evil eye.
Silver
dimes: If worn as an anklet, it’s believed the wearer cannot be
affected by any negative spells cast by being stepped over.
Mirror
charms: Worn or pinned to your garment, with the reflective side
facing away from your body, these deflect negative energies back
to the sender.
All
amulets ought to be cleansed before wearing as we do not know who
has handled them before they came into our hands.
Miss
Aida’s Chinese Wash Recipe for Spiritual House Cleansing and
Purification
One
32-ounce bottle of Murphy Oil Soap
One
1/2 bottle of quality Van Van Oil
2
ounces of liquid pure castile soap (to dilute the Murphy Oil Soap)
One
frankincense incense tear (to enhance the power of the formula)
1
tablespoon of lemongrass
13
new broom straws (aids in spiritual cleansings)
A
little bit of your saliva
-
Remove
about three ounces of Murphy Oil Soap from the bottle to make room
then add the Van Van Oil and castile soap to the bottle. Agitate the
bottle to disperse the liquids. Add the frankincense tear, followed
by the lemongrass, then the broom straws. Replace the cap and gently
shake the bottle. Once it appears that the lemongrass has been
dispersed, remove the cap. Place your mouth close to the lip of the
bottle and recite Psalm 23. Then respectfully release a little of
your saliva into the bottle to activate or charge the ingredients.
Your Chinese Wash is now ready for use. Use about one-quarter cup of
Chinese Wash per bucket of water. A new mop is preferable to wash the
floor, but a clean mop will suffice. You will also need clean rags to
wipe down walls and other surfaces.
