The Wicca Handbook: 8 - Tapa blanda

Witch - what a powerful word it is. It attracts, it repels, it frightens, it fascinates. It offers hope to those who do not know where to turn. Modern witches - following the traditions of our earliest ancestors - are the shamans and healers of the twenty-first century. They practise the ancient art of sacred magic in the modern world. "The Wicca Handbook" is both a tutorial for new witches and an exceptionally well organized reference book for experienced practitioners. It guides us through the first steps in becoming a witch, explores many Wiccan traditions, initiations and magical practices. The Wiccan year - the eight Sabbats - along with many of its rituals and ceremonies are examined. You will learn about spell casting, sex magic and the techniques used to raise power.
