Wicca Crystal Magic: A Beginner’s Guide to Practicing Wiccan Crystal Magic, with Simple Crystal Spells


Lisa Chamberlain - 2015
     Since the beginning of recorded history, people have delighted in the beauty of naturally occurring crystals found deep in the Earth. The ancient peoples of Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, India, and South and Central America used crystals not just in amulets and other jewelry, but also in religious art, weaponry, and healing. Over the past several decades, the popularity of crystals in healing and the magical arts has seen a resurgence. This is especially true in Wiccan circles, with practitioners benefiting from the energetic power of crystals and stones during spellwork. This book is suitable for Wiccans, Witches, and anyone else who wants to learn more about magic. The Magic of Crystals Generally found inside larger masses of rock under the Earth’s surface, crystals and other mineral stones are used in magic for everything from protection to divination to manifesting wealth and love. Crystals work on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes to effect positive change, rather than conventional medicine with its focus on the physical plane alone, so they are considered to be more holistic in their transformative effects than, say, an aspirin taken for a headache. There is a wide variety of information available about the healing powers of crystals, for physical and spiritual imbalances of all kinds. For example, chakra balancing is one major use for crystals, and some practitioners of Reiki, acupuncture, color therapy, and other energy healing techniques incorporate crystals into their work. Wiccans use crystals in a multitude of ways: we decorate our wands and pentacles with crystals; we use them to honor deities; we use them in amulets, talismans, and other ‘good luck’ charms. Not forgetting the main purpose of this very guide: crystals and stones are a powerful component of spellwork. Wicca Crystal Magic: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide Many people are drawn towards Wicca through the concept of Witchcraft and magic, and the idea that we can positively change our circumstances. Wicca Crystal Magic was created to teach these people the whys and hows of crystal magic, so that they can improve their lives in all the important areas – love, health, and wealth. By reading this book, you will learn about the human connection with crystals throughout the ages; the difference between crystals, stones, and minerals; and where crystals get their magical powers from. You will learn about the magical properties of many popular crystals; how to choose your own; and how to cleanse, clear, and charge your crystals. Finally, you will be provided with a selection of practical magic spells, each targeting a specific area of your life – including love, money, health, employment, and happiness. In other words, Wicca Crystal Magic will teach you everything you need to know to start practicing crystal magic, today! Would You Like to Know More?

Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways


Gemma Gary - 2008
    This is no neo-pagan or modern wiccan manual, but rather a deep drawing up into modern times of some of the ancient practices of lore and magic practiced by the white witches, charmers, conjurers and pellars of the Cornish villages. Their presence was still current when the 18th and 19th century antiquarians and collectors recorded them, and, although the 20th century largely put paid to their activities, nevertheless their lore never completely disappeared, and it continues to provide inspiration for practitioners today. Gemma draws on this knowledge, not only from published material, but also from the experiences and workings of ‘wise women’ and country witches living today. Topics include the Cunning Path, the Dead and the Underworld (Fairy Faith), the Bucca, Places of Power in the villages and landscape, the Tools used by Cunning Folk (working versions of what can be seen, for example, in the Museum of Witchcraft), Village cunning, substances and charms, and Rites of the Year’s Round. This book gathers much material together, some of which has not been seen in print before, and thus provides a sourcebook of magical workings in Cornwall today, which will be an invaluable reference.

Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power


Pam Grossman - 2019

In Waking the Witch, Pam Grossman explores the cultural and historical impact of the world’s most magical icon. From the idea of the femme fatale in league with the devil in early modern Europe and Salem, to the bewitching pop culture archetypes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Harry Potter; from the spooky ladies in fairy tales and horror films to the rise of feminist covens and contemporary witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women. In this fascinating read that is part cultural analysis, part memoir, Pam opens up about her own journey on the path to witchcraft, and how her personal embrace of the witch helped her find strength, self-empowerment, and a deeper purpose. A comprehensive meditation on one of the most mysterious and captivating figures of all time, Waking the Witch celebrates witches past, present, and future, and reveals the critical role they have played—and will continue to play—in shaping the world as we know it.
