Witchy Books

Discover the real sources of many of the traditions, beliefs, and techniques of modern Witchcraft! And what author Raven Grimassi reveals in Hereditary Witchcraft is the documented ancient roots of the Old Religion. One-by-one, Grimassi goes through the tenets of Witchcraft and shows their ancient sources. The association of the pentagram with Witchcraft goes back at least 2,500 years. The idea of the four elements goes back to a philosopher named Empedocles of Sicily in around 475 B.C.E. The practice of many covens today of having a Priestess, Priest, and Maiden can be traced back over 2,000 years to ancient Pompeii.

This book is filled with history, myth, and folklore. But it is also filled with rituals and techniques that you can do. On these pages you will learn how to prepare and banish a magic circle. You'll learn rituals you can do by yourself, including those for the Solstices, Diana's Day, and Cornucopia. With this information you can become a follower of the Old Ways!

Of course, one of the most famous aspects of Witchcraft is magick. Grimassi doesn't disappoint here, either. You'll learn runic magick and divination; you'll learn about doing magick with the Moon and stars; you'll learn secret symbols and the powers of herbs. If you are a Witch - or you're thinking about becoming a Witch - this is one of the most important books you could possibly have. You'll find the documentation to support the antiquity of your beliefs and the way Witchcraft is practiced today. This book is both a guide for everyday life and a resource to discover Wiccan origins. If you don't have a copy of this book, get one today. You'll use it for the rest of your life.

Winner of the 2003 Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) Award for Best Magic Book

A savvy witch’s guidebook on strengthening their innate capacity to speak the symbolic language of the universe and trusting their inner knowing—their intuwitchin.

From the founder of Witch School Mia Magik comes a guide to what she calls IntuWitchin. There’s a key difference between intuition and IntuWitchin. While they both come from within us, IntuWitchin involves our innate capacity to learn and fluently speak the symbolic language of the Universe. It allows us to receive information from every animal or number, any part of our body, dreams, conversations, and more. We’ve all been told to follow our intuition, but IntuWitchin shows you how. It means reclaiming your magik to see how the world around you is always communicating with you and letting you know which way to go.

IntuWitchin makes you your own teacher, guide, healer, and hero of your story. Putting the Witch in IntuWitchin supports you in owning your witchiness—how your wisdom expresses through you—and synergizing that unique essence with the magik of the world all around you.

The book describes how to tap into your Intuwitchin and apply it in your life with rituals, magikal practices, journaling prompts, and chapters on:

• Reclaiming the witch wound in order to move forward in courage and empowerment
• Understanding signs and symbols from the Universe
• Divination tools like astrology, tarot, numerology, and color magik
• Recognizing how your body speaks to you
• Incorporating the wisdom of the elements into your magik
