Book Description
Need help to find new love or a better job, get a cranky boss to lighten up, release stress or simply find a parking space? The Witch's Journal is full of charms, spells, potions, enchantments, lore and simple rituals. Unlike many spell books, the tools and ingredients listed in these pages are common household items (and if not, then an easy-to-find alternative is recommended). Pitched at apprentice spellcasters, the content is presented in a graphic and attractive way making it a book to dip in and dip out of, learning as you go. Based on Wiccan philosophy, this book provides practical, hands-on information for spellcraft that is easy to understand and simple to use. It offers a complete magical introduction, including creating a sacred place, magical ethics, the magical properties of colour, common herbs, stones and flowers. About the author Selene Silverwind has been a practising witchcraft for over 15 years. She has taught workshops on love magic at Pagan conventions and book shops and is the author of two Wiccan romance novels and two non-fiction guides: Magic for Lovers and The Everything Paganism Book. Silverwind is also a co-founder of Pagan Pride Los Angeles, a religious tolerance group affiliated with the Pagan Pride.

The Witches of Fife
Author: Stuart MacDonald
Publisher: Birlinn
ISBN: 0857907948
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Along the coast of Fife, in villages like Culross and Pittenweem, history records that some women were executed as witches. Nevertheless, the reality of what happened the night that Janet Cornfoot was lynched at Pittenweem is hard to grasp as one sits by the harbour watching the fishing boats unload their catch and the pleasure boats rising with the tide. How could people do this to an old woman? Why was no-one ever brought to justice? And why would anyone defend such a lynching? The task of the historian is to try to make events in the past come alive and seem less strange. The details of the witch-hunt are fascinating. Some of the anecdotes are strange. The modern reader finds it hard to imagine illness being blamed on the malevolence of a beggar woman denied charity, or the economic failure of a sea voyage being attributed to the village hag, not bad weather. Witch-hunting was related to ideas, values, attitudes and political events. It was a complicated process, involving religious and civil authorities, village tensions and the fears of the elite. The witch-hunt in Scotland also took place at a time when one of the main agendas was the creation of a righteous or godly society. As a result, religious authorities had control over aspects of people's lives which seem as strange to us today as beliefs about magic or witchcraft. It was not accidental that the witch-hunt in Scotland, and specifically in Fife, should have happened at this time. This book tells the story of what occurred over a period of a century and a half, and offers some explanation as to why it occurred.

There is a wealth of jargon in the witchcraft community – from words related to sabbats, like Beltane and Samhain, to ingredients, rituals, and a myriad of tools.

Filled with all the definitions that you could need, this A-Z of magickal words and their meanings reveals exactly what an “athame” is, and when you might use one, and explains when Beltane is and what you might do to celebrate it. All the way through to the end of the alphabet, all the terms that might crop up in a spell book are explained – along with why that spell book might be called a book of shadows! As more and more people enter the witchcraft world, the need for accessible resources to de-mystify the most mysterious of practices has never been clearer, and The Witch-ionary is the perfect book for baby and beginner witches to have at hand. Along the way there are ten simple ideas for rituals, spells, and practices to try and put the newfound knowledge from within the pages to good use, such as a simple house blessing for a happy home, a recipe for anti-anxiety bath salts, and the tips and tricks necessary for casting a magick circle. Written by Deb Robinson, founder of the hugely successful Witch Casket subscription box, The Witch-ionary distils her years of knowledge into a fun and informative format that respects that the modern witch is a busy witch!

Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476642885
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
After Charmed ended in 2006, witches were relegated to sidekicks of televisual vampires or children's programs. But during the mid-2010s they began to resurface as leading characters in shows like the immensely popular The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, Salem, American Horror Story: Coven, and the British program, A Discovery of Witches. No longer sweet, feminine, domestic, and white, these witches are powerful, diverse, and transgressive, representing an intersectional third-wave feminist vision of the witch. Featuring original essays from noted scholars, this is the first critical collection to examine witches on television from the late 2010s. Situated in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, essays examine the reemergence and shifting identities of TV witches through the perspectives of intersectional gender studies, hauntology, politics, morality, monstrosity, violence, queerness, disabilities, rape, ecofeminism, linguistics, family, and digital humanities.
