Everything You Need to Know to Start Your Wiccan Journey It is estimated that there are over 1 million practicing Wiccans around the world today. This number used to be much smaller, but interest in Wicca, Witchcraft, and contemporary magic has increased exponentially over the past few decades. The dramatic rise of this Nature-based religion is due at least in part to the Internet—just twenty years ago, people curious about these subjects often had little access to credible information, especially those without a good New Age or Occult bookstore nearby. But the appeal of Wicca is also growing in tandem with the increasing complexities of our modern, high-pressured mainstream society. The world we live in today seems wholly distant from the one our ancestors lived in—a world where humans and Nature were at one, their existence intertwined in the natural cycles of life. Amid all of our gadgets and other man-made distractions, many people forget to take notice of the sheer beauty of the natural world that still surrounds us. Wicca teaches us to appreciate the Earth, celebrating the intricate changes in the seasons and everything they bring—from the bounties of the Summer harvest to the cold and darkness of the Winter months, when Mother Nature rests in preparation for the next explosive cycle of life that begins in Spring. As you’ll discover in this book, Wicca is a reincarnation of the very earliest religions, practiced for millennia before the advent of Christianity. It is often referred to as “the Old Religion,” and many Wiccans consider their practice to fit within a broader tradition of Witchcraft that has been passed down over the centuries. Wiccans celebrate and share many of the same beliefs our ancestors held, with practices that honor the old ways while being compatible with contemporary life. The divine is worshipped as both masculine and feminine, with a focus on balance and harmony with Nature, and a recognition of the magical power inherent in the Universe as well as in ourselves. It is an empowering religion, rooted in ancient times and yet well-suited for the 21st century. Foundations of Wiccan Belief and Practice Wicca for Beginners was created as an entry point for anyone seeking information about this fascinating religion. It is intended as a broad introduction, covering the most basic questions that people curious about Wicca tend to have. Whether you're just looking to learn more about the Wiccan way of life, or you want to start practicing Wicca yourself, you will have a solid understanding of the essence of Wicca after reading this The history of its modern foundations as well as its ancient inspirations An introduction to the God and Goddess and their multiple aspects The Wiccan holidays of the Wheel of the the Sabbats and the Esbats Core elements of Wiccan ritual, including an overview of ritual tools Principles of magic—both ancient and modern An overview of Wiccan covens, circles, and solitary practice Example ritual and spellwork suitable for beginners Sample tables of correspondence identifying the magical properties of selected colors, crystals, herbs and oils Until fairly recently, centuries of suppression of the Old Religion meant that Wiccans and other Witches had to maintain strict secrecy about their practices.

Everything You Need to Know to Start Working With Magical Crystals Today Since the beginning of recorded history, people have revered the beauty and power of crystals and other mineral stones, incorporating them into religious artwork, weaponry, healing techniques and—of course—magic! From the quartz talismans of Egyptian pharaohs to the Aztec ceremonial masks of turquoise, malachite and jade, these natural delights have been prized by cultures all around the globe. Today’s practitioners of the magical arts use crystals for a variety of powerful workings related to health, wealth, love, protection, divination and more. Whether it’s in the form of an elixir for imbibing confidence-promoting energies, a small polished stone placed with herbs in a love sachet, or a favorite crystal emitting positive vibrations in your sacred space, crystals and other mineral stones are powerful and highly versatile tools of magic. In Crystal Magic, Wiccan author Lisa Chamberlain explores the many magical uses of these natural beauties and the underlying Universal forces that make it all work. But while this guide is written from the perspective of Wiccans and other Witches, you need not consider yourself a Wiccan or a Witch to benefit from the magical power of crystals and stones. As you will see within these pages, the energies of these Earth creations are universal and can be harnessed by anyone, anytime. So whether you’re new to magic, new to crystals, or new to both, you’ll find this guide to be an invaluable resource for your spiritual practice. Most books about crystal magic fall into one of two encyclopedias and spell books. While there are some wonderfully comprehensive encyclopedia-style books out there that describe the magical properties of hundreds of different crystals and stones, they tend to provide little or no practical information about using them in spellwork. Likewise, there are a few good practical books that focus on crystal-centered spells, but they don’t tell you much about the nature and properties of the crystals and stones involved in the work. Crystal Magic was created to bridge these two worlds by incorporating both a solid overview of 13 widely-used crystals in Wiccan magic, along with a comprehensive look at their practical applications in everyday spellwork. This approach is especially handy for those who are just beginning to build a collection of magical stones, since the spells themselves use only the stones featured in the guide!
