Laurie Cabot's Book of Shadows. Laurie Cabot. Penny Cabot. Christopher Penczak. Occult. Witchcraft. Magick

I'm enjoying a read through of "Laurie Cabot's Book of Shadows" by Laurie Cabot with Penny Cabot, and Christopher Penczak.

For the first time anywhere, the history, lore, rituals, and majick of the Cabot Tradition of Witchcraft, taught by founder Laurie Cabot, the Official Witch of Salem, Massaschusetts, is collected and presented in a single book. Laurie Cabot's Book of Shadows includes the materials of her three-part class series on the Science, Art, and Religion of Witchcraft, as well as guidance for High Priestesses and High Priests of the Craft working on their own or in groups. The Book of Shadows includes Laurie's own recipes for incenses, potions, charms, and spells used and taught by Cabot Witches for decades-a treasure-trove of lore at your fingertips! A must for any practitioner of the Craft of the Witch.

The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak

The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Wicca. Occult. Magick

I'm reading through "The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft" by Christopher Penczak. This is the third volume in his Temple series. I have the 6-book set. I read #1 (Inner Temple) and #2 (Outer Temple) last year.

Is shamanism all that different from modern witchcraft? According to Christopher Penczak, Wicca's roots go back 20,000 years to the Stone Age shamanic traditions of tribal cultures worldwide. A fascinating exploration of the Craft's shamanic origins, The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft offers year-and-a-day training in shamanic witchcraft.

Penczak's third volume of witchcraft teachings corresponds to the water element―guiding the reader into this realm of emotion, reflection, and healing. The twelve formal lessons cover shamanic cosmologies, journeying, dreamwork, animal/plant/stone medicine, totems, soul retrieval, and psychic surgery. Each lesson includes exercises (using modern techniques and materials), assignments, and helpful tips. The training ends with a ritual for self-initiation into the art of the shamanic witch―culminating in an act of healing, rebirth, and transformation.

Instant Magick. Christopher Penczak. Temple of Witchcraft. Occult

I'm enjoying "Instant Magick" by Christopher Penczak.

What if you could practice magick anytime, without the use of ceremonial spells, altars, or magickal tools? Items such as candles, special ingredients, and exotic symbols are necessary to perform many types of magick, but these items aren't always feasible, attainable, or even available. The purest form of magick―tapping into your own energetic awareness to create change―is accessible simply through the power of your will.

Popular author Christopher Penczak explains how to weave natural energies into every facet of life by inspiring readers to explore their own individual willpower. This book features personalized techniques used to weed out any unwanted, unhealthy, or unnecessary desires to find a true, balanced magickal being. Penczak's innovative, modern spellcasting techniques utilize meditation, visualization, words, and intent in any situation, at any time. The results can seem instantaneous, and the potential limitless.

Psychic Witch. A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick and Manifestation. Mat Auryn

I'm enjoying the new deluxe hardcover edition of "Psychic Witch" by Mat Auryn. It was released last year.

The paperback was originally published in 2020. A contemporary "classic."

Discover how to be a powerful psychic witch with this book on wielding energy and awakening your psychic senses. Psychic Witch explores the relationship between psychic ability and magick, interweaving them to create a strong foundation for accessing the full potential of your mind, body, and spirit.

Mat Auryn reveals some of his most closely guarded tips, secrets, practices, and meditations so that you can master the perception and manipulation of energy. Featuring over ninety exercises and the inner tools you need to perform magick anywhere and at any time, Psychic Witch helps you tune in to yourself and the subtle energies of the world.
