Synopsis: A seeker of balance, the Witch moves with ease between the realms of commonplace day and mystical night. Kin to fairy and steward of nature, the Witch possesses the power to bless and consecrate, to call forth spirits, and to understand the voice of the wind. In this one-of-a-kind guidebook, award-winning Wiccan author and scholar Raven Grimassi presents an insightful portrait of the spirit of the Witch. He explores the spiritual element of the rituals, practices, and beliefs of Witchcraft, and how these elements apply not only to the seasons of nature, but also to the mystical seasons of the soul. Literate and positive, Spirit of the Witch examines the oral tradition of Witches, as well as the cultural, literary, anthropological, and historical roots of Witchcraft. Revealed within these pages is the fascinating secret life of the Witch- guardian of the sacred mysteries, channel of magical forces, and keeper of the doorway between worlds.
