Craft Elder and author Raven Grimassi has revised and expanded his indispensable reference work, the Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft. When first released this book was one of the only of its kind to be written by a practicing Witch, this guide presents Wicca/Witchcraft as a spiritual path, connecting religious concepts and spirituality to both a historical background and modern practice. With a wealth of information on European folklore and Western Occultism, and material relevant to any tradition, you can use this book to research any aspect of the Craft, including:
• Theology-pantheons, Wiccan Rede, Three-Fold Law • History-Craft roots and influence • Places-historical and sacred sites • Verses, rites, and invocations • Ritual objects and tools • Influential Witches-past and present
The Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft also contains a glossary of terminology; book references; Craft web sites, organizations, and magazines; magickal alphabets, runes, correspondences, symbols; and 300 illustrations.
Many people think that Wicca has no real laws. However, there are 140 Traditional Laws of Witchcraft. You’ll find them all listed here. You’ll also discover the difference between a pentacle and a pentagram, what the Odic Force is, the eclecticism of the Ladywood Tradition, the ancient sources of working magic “skyclad,” plus lists of Pagan publications, mail order suppliers, and so much more.
