Wicca: Charms, Potions and Lore (Gothic Dreams)

Religion, spiritual practice, a moral code for living, the means to enhance and take control of your life – Wicca can be all of these things. Many misunderstand what it means to follow Wicca – yes it can involve ‘magic’ and the worship of the Horned God (along with the equally important Triple Goddess), but it is also a beautiful, life-enhancing way of living that venerates the cycles of nature and the seasons and promotes positive and constructive values. It is a relatively modern faith, dating back to the early twentieth century, and yet it draws on ancient beliefs grounded in nature. This unique and illuminating book will introduce you to the wonders of Wicca through its background, practices and beliefs. Covering everything from the Wiccan deities, calendar and astrology to getting started with spellwork, divination, natural care and healing, and accompanied by magical and stunning contemporary artwork, this book will bewitch and enlighten you.
