Description

A contemporary guide to the roots, paths and tools of witchcraft.

A new generation of witchcraft is here! Today, witchcraft encompasses many different paths and is one of the most rapidly growing sets of spiritual systems in the world. Modern Witchcraft For Dummies walks you through what it means to be a modern witch—going beyond the Euro-pagan traditions and Wicca—and how to ensure your witchcraft moves toward inclusivity and spiritual activism. Discover the roots and impact of witchcraft, consider the differences between “open” and “closed” practices, and explore the ethics of magical practice.

Within, you'll also:

• Explore histories of regional witches across the world
• Understand witchcraft archetypes and practices (with clear guidance on how to start your own practice)
• Discover the various types of witches and determine the type of witch you want to be
• Create your own altars and grimoires, set intentions, and practice your spellcasting and rituals (on your own or with a coven!)

Get ready to explore a world of powerful spiritual connectedness with Modern Witchcraft For Dummies. It's a must-read for witches, pagans, and the simply occult-curious.
