Product Description

Since the publication of her previous books on witchcraft, Doreen Valiente has received many letters asking -How can I find a witches' coven? How can I become a witch?- This book gives the answers.

It tells you what the old religion of witchcraft has to offer the new age; how the ago-old Craft of the Wise can be practiced in the modern world; how to initiate yourself and start your own coven. The author has been a practicing witch since 1953, and in this book she gives a new Book of Shadows (the witch's handbook of rituals and instructions) based upon ancient magical tradition but geared to present times. Included are spells, incantations, witch songs, and practical advice on how to run a coven and how to acquire your own collection of magical implements.

Good book
Doreen Valiente books go in and out of print and so when I see one
I buy it cause once they are out of print, the price sky rockets.

This is another good book by Doreen.

This book will be relevant for many years to come!
This book is an excellent resource! I find Doreen's writing style just addicting. This woman really knows what she is talking about on all subjects relating to modern witchcraft! I think the best part of this book was the Book of Shadows that she wrote in the back. I partically have an affinity for "The Coven Spell" and have used it with others in the past and find it works great to aid in building the cone of power. Overall, it is a keeper!

Much Love & Many Blessings,

nice practice view
Doreen is the writer of Gardnerian Book of Shadows, is a poet and was a former HPs of Gardner himself. no wondering, this is the awesome view of an Elder, a book in the same importance of fifty years in wicca (Frederic Lamond), with full informations, history, antropology and practice. very useful and a must to sincere seekers.
