Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her.

    These are the core of our ritual practice. Dream, lunar and, critically, menstrual magic are explored as a path to this knowledge. The wolf, the Devil, and the Goddess of witchcraft are then encountered in a landscape that ultimately reveals the witch to her or himself. These are not separate threads, but arise from a deep mythic structure and are woven together into a single unifying vision. Alternating between polemic, poetic and ecstatic prose, an harmonious course is revealed in a sequence of elegant stratagems. The book is threaded together with a cycle of hymns to Inanna, pearls on the tapestry of night. Seemingly disparate aspects are joined into a vision which is neither afraid of blessing nor curse. This is a daring undertaking, born from both urgency and need. It offers a renewed sense of purpose and meaning for a witchcraft that has seen many of its treasured ideas about itself destroyed. An apocalyptic age demands an Apocalyptic Witchcraft, and this is a book which is offered up to revolutionise the body of the craft, a way out of the dark impasse.

    A collection of fifteen essays are introduced and curated by Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold through whose contacts we encounter the worlds of lone practitioners and tradition holders, from both family and clan, and are allowed a rare glimpse into the workings of the more secretive proponents of the Craft.Traditional Craft is intimately bound to the spirit of the land. Serpent Songs contains the works of genuine Cornish and Basque witchcraft, the relatively unknown Swedish Trolldom, the persecuted Bogomils, and the oft misrepresented Italian Stregoneria. Members of 1734, Clan of Tubal Cain, an ex member of The Companie of the Serpent-Cross are among those who choose to share their experiences. Light is shed on such important figures as Robert Cochrane, Evan John-Jones and Andrew Chumbley amongst others, but more than illustrious ancestors, Traditional Craft is revealed as a living throng.These are the voices of those who work the art and this book details their practices, struggles and wayward journeys. Serpent Songs takes a crooked path through the landscape, from historical studies to practical acts, from lonely stone stiles set between deep hedges to the warm entrails of animals and forays into the caves and woods. These tresses are woven into an undulating nest of serpents.Serpent Songs is a wide ranging work that deals with the issues of witch blood, taboo, the other, the liminal state, fire, dream, art and need as vectors of the Craft. What emerges is not a narrow definition of what it means to engage in Traditional Craft, but a set of shared characteristics and approaches which become evident despite the cultural gulfs in place and time. This is a book of praxis, beliefs and their own definitions of the art itself rather than those applied to it by outsiders. These are the voices who for the most part operate in silence but now wish to be heard.

    I should have known Shea O'Hare was up to something the second the word ‘favor’ came out of her mouth. I was an easy target, I’ll admit. She had something I wanted, something only she could give me, and she used my heart’s desire to maneuver me into place like a pawn on a chess board.You might be asking what a witch could possibly have that a vampire might want so badly that he would willingly let her play him for a fool. In my case, that answer was ridiculously simple—information. It was only a name and a location, but that name and that location meant everything to me.It was bribery, plain and simple.

    It's no ordinary village, but Brad is welcomed like a long-lost cousin. His teacher is a gentle hunchback with a lisp who is more than he seems. There are witches in the olive groves who will poison your cat, but not for the reasons you imagine. In those groves there is a village so small it shouldn't be a village, its red doorways too short for normal men and women to pass through easily. At night, on its single narrow cobble street, creatures that should not exist walk while a single baby cries forever. On the sands of the next cove sits a pale, pretty girl who somehow knows the poetry of the great Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and wants you to drown with her, just as Percy drowned near this village over a century ago. This is the village where Mary Shelley may have dreamed her dream that became Frankenstein. It is certainly the village where Brad, too, will start to dream strange dreams and write his own first stories; where he will fall sick because the village's magic has its hold on him, wanting him to become something other than a boy--something that can never leave it--something it can have as its own for eternity. What people are saying about this book:"The Village Sang to the Sea is a uniquely haunting book. It's quite simply a beauty.”--Peter S. Beagle, World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement winner and author of The Last Unicorn "The Village Sang to the Sea is that rarity: a book that delicately and perfectly captures the magic we all know underlies the world. You will not forget this book. Not ever."
--Nancy Kress, Hugo and Nebula awards winner"A magnificent reading experience, shimmering and vital, at once otherworldly and naturalistic, that recalls such fine ancestors as Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine and Jeffrey Ford's The Shadow Year.--Paul Di Filippo, Locus Online"The Village Sang to the Sea: A Memoir of Magic is just what its sub-title promises: magic. --James P. Blaylock, World Fantasy Award winner "Bruce McAllister's gorgeous new novel is magical realism at its very best. I loved it.”--Terri Windling, co-editor of the The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror series"In our early years we all believe and trust in endless possibilities. Most of us soon leave this realm, though some of us return from time to time. If we call it merely 'imagination,' we don't reach the truly magical. The Village Sang to the Sea: A Memoir of Magic got me there. It's delightful."--Ron Arias, National Book Award nominee

    She doesn't want to know things about the past that a girl her age shouldn’t be able to recall. She doesn't want to have nightmares about a red-haired devil woman or dream about a mystery man. She just wants to be a normal, fabulous Delta Gamma sister. And, she wouldn’t mind having her roommate's sexy, older brother all to herself.After she is attacked at a bonfire one night, however, her reality begins to unravel as the line between the past and present begins to blur even more. In order to uncover the truth, Katelynn will have to face her nightmares and research her family’s very own “urban legend.” As she tries to discover the truth about her attack and her nightmare, she may discover that her new friends are not exactly who she thought they were, and the paranormal is a lot more normal than she ever believed.

    No matter how hard her mother tried to convince her that she wouldn’t fall, the young witch refused. This was until one day the fairy queen visited her in a dream. Realizing that the young witch had never faced the reasons for her fear, the fairy queen asked her one simple question; one simple question that changed the young witch’s destiny, forever. A wonderfully-illustrated story in rhyme, for children aged 3 to 7 years old, about coming to terms with fear and realizing that often our fears are only thoughts. Most of the time one simple question can motivate us so much that we find the courage inside ourselves to do the things that we were, at first, afraid of.

    Devany Miller is a wife, a mother, and an advocate for victims of domestic violence. The most magical things in her life are uninterrupted bubble baths and chocolate bars she doesn't have to share with her kids. Then she stumbles into another world where humans are bought and sold like meat and she's the next item up for sale. A dying witch saves her, but Devany goes from one fire to another: she ends up bound to a demon who wants to use her to do his dirty work, but she doesn't let anyone push her around-not even soul-eating nightmares. Staying alive, avenging the witch's death, all that pales when the danger rolls right up to her front door and she's forced to do whatever it takes to protect her kids.
