ARADIA OR THE GOSPEL OF THE WITCHES
Charles Godfrey Leland
19th century folklorist and journalist, Charles Godfrey Leland's ARADIA is one of the most important foundational texts of the contemporary pagan and wiccan communities. Originally published in 1899, this text is based upon the ancient teachings transmitted to him from a practising Italian witch by the name of Maddelena. It is one of the earliest documentary testaments to the genuine survival of ancient European witchcraft and pagan goddess religion well in the 19th century. As a result, it has become the inspiration for the 20th century resurrection/reconstruction of magickal beliefs. This is a “must-have” for all committed pagans who seek to develop a faith rooted in history and tradition.
BE BLESSED Daily Devotions for Busy Wiccans and Pagans Denise Dumars

BUCKLAND'S BOOK OF SAXON WITCHCRAFT Previously Published As: The Tree: The Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft Raymond Buckland
Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft was one of the first books to explore Wicca from a solitary perspective. Originally written 30 years ago to correct abuses he saw occurring in covens, Buckland offered Wiccan seekers an introductory text on Saxon witchcraft or Seax-Wicca, which can be practiced alone. Buckland presents meticulously researched information on the time-honored tradition of Saxon witchcraft. He writes cogently and informatively about the history, mythology, spiritual practices, and witchcraft of Saxon England. Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft includes everything the solitary witch needs to practice Seax-Wicca, including:
* Descriptions of the Saxon deities and explanations of their primary beliefs * An introduction to the magical runic Saxon alphabet * A selection of original Pagan songs * A selection of Seax-Wiccan recipes for intoxicants * Instructions for initiation ceremonies, the eight Sabbats, marriage, birth, and death rites * An explanation of the art and practice of Saxon Galdra or magic and the divination and herbal lore used for protection, love potions, and healing * The Seax-Wicca Rite of Self-Dedication, which allows individuals to form their own covens and initiate themselves into the Craft
An indispensable handbook for solitary witches or for witches in covens who want to explore Saxon witchcraft. Originally published as The Tree: The Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft, this edition offers a new introduction by the author to guide a new generation of witches into the art and practice of Seax-Wicca.
CELEBRATING THE SEASONS OF LIFE: SAMHAIN TO OSTARA Lore Rituals Activities and Symbols Ashleen OGaea
Unique among books about the Wiccan Sabbats, Celebrating the Seasons of Life: Samhain to Ostara takes a different approach to explaining the holidays by looking in-depth at half of the Wheel of the Year. Rather than dissecting each holiday, Ashleen’s goal is to take a broader look at them, explaining how and why we celebrate each, along with how the celebration of one leads to the next.
The first of two new titles from Ashleen offers a vision of the holidays we celebrate from October to March, including:
Celebrating the Seasons of Life: Samhain to Ostara first gives the history and original customs of each holiday, then explains its place in modern life. Stories are shared for each Sabbat, to reconnect us with our lore and bring new meaning to current practice. Ashleen includes ideas for rituals that are ideal for practicing solitaries, covens, or Wiccan families, with special sections on what children of various ages are ready to learn about these holidays.
Celebrating the Seasons of Life is conveniently complete with Circle-casting directions for groups and individuals who don’t have a “usual way” or would like to try something new. It’s brimming with original material that can be used by any practitioner to refresh or embellish his or her rites, including recipes and creative ideas to capture seasonal fun without forgetting the significance of each Sabbat.

GAY WITCHCRAFT Empowering the Tribe Christopher Penczak
When Christopher Penczak acknowledged that he was gay, he felt betrayed by the Catholic Church of his childhood and turned away from any religious expression. When he was introduced to Witchcraft, he found a spiritual path that honored and embraced him. Now he has written a book of clearheaded theory and practice that is bound to become a classic. With Gay Witchcraft, Penczak joins the ranks of his forebears in spirit, gay writers who have taken a tradition and made it "home" for queer folk.
Penczak has gathered all he's learned in his studies of Wicca from a homocentric perspective and created Gay Witchcraft, the first complete book of theory and spiritual practices of witchcraft for the gay community. Central to the practice of Witchcraft is the Divine Couple and sex magick. Penczak's writing on this central mystery masterfully informs its true meaning and practice.
Gay Witchcraft will make it much easier for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people interested in practicing any form of witchcraft. The book explores the history of Paganism and offers a compendium of spells, meditations, and affirmations that will enrich both the novice and the experienced practitioner seeking out new views of myth, ritual, and healing for the Gay community.
Chapters include: Good Witch of the West, The Secret History, Queer Myth, Animal Language, Love Magick, Turning the Wheel of the Year, and Rites of Passage.
GOD/GODDESS Exploring and Celebrating the Two Sides of Wiccan Deity A J Drew/Patricia Telesco
Written as a cooperative effort-a man writing about God, and a woman writing about Goddess-this proactive book provides foundational tools for connecting with and celebrating the Sacred in personally meaningful ways. Recognizing that each person has a unique vision of the Divine, it explores central archetypes [the phases of human life] that anyone can relate to, complete with historical, multicultural examples to awaken the God and Goddess within each of us. Much more than a "how to" book, the book challenges us to think about the deeper meaning when we call upon the Divine, and during all our spiritual activities. Truly, the time has come to awaken the spark of the Sacred within, and honor the Spirit within our words and deeds and this book helps make this journey both fulfilling and empowering.

GOTHIC UNICORN JOURNAL JOU17
Artwork by Luca Russo
Special varnish and embossing cover effects and rubber band
Blank journal, reporter style, 192 pages, 99x146 mm. Hardcover.
The glittering mythology resonates with Eros, love in all its astounding variety – devotional, perfidious, sunny, dark, frenzied, serene, lusty, uncanny, earthy, twisty and sometimes hilarious. We relish these tales in all their splendour and antic humour and offer an inspired storyteller’s fresh version of the old, old mythical magic.
Above them all reigned Zeus. The ancients enjoyed his constant adultery, launched after a 300-year honeymoon with his sister-wife Hera. His affairs were often weird and fanciful, an equal opportunity seducer among goddesses, nymphs and mortals.
Lavishly illustrated with 190 designs drawn from ancient Greek art. Visual delights abound.
