We're sitting by a fire, looking out into the mysterious night. It's All Hallow's Eve, so there's a chill in the wind, and the branches of the trees are bare. The stars are bright. Embers from the fire catch on the wind in bright flurries, drifting up into the yawning dark like fireflies. We are here to talk about witchcraft, about spirits, about the land. We are going to talk about the cycles of nature and what they mean. We'll talk about our dreams and visions. We'll nourish our spirits with wisdom from the old lore. Beyond the crackling fire's glow, the shadows lingering between the trees could almost be our ancestors. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn many ways, we are living in the golden age of witchcraft. New traditions are springing up all around us. Writers, bloggers, and vloggers share their approaches and ideas. Scholars have begun to unpack the old lore through the lens of legitimate spiritual experience. Books on the craft are published every day. These modern grammars usually share the author's rituals, their charms, their holidays, and provide a step-by-step approach to conducting craft workings. They try to explain what witches do, what they believe, how they conduct their rituals, what rules they should follow. Sometimes they offer a spurious account of witch history and lineage that leaves the reader more puzzled than before. These books provide much of the how, but little of the why. Pre-made models and rituals that are practiced without an understanding of their source are like cut flowers: they are beautiful on the kitchen table, but quickly wither away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is not that kind of book. Make no mistake; by the end of this book, you will have a treasury of charms, rituals, incantations, and practical methods by which you can conduct your craft. My larger goal, however, is to provide students of the craft with the means by which to connect with the source of witchcraft, those gates of initiation through which any witch worth his salt must pass. Because folk witchcraft is a living tradition, most of us hone and polish our craft over time. We research, experiment, and adapt. We follow the guidance of our familiar spirits. We listen to the land...","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49572698095889,"sku":"GOR011160877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49916605301009,"sku":"CIN1790994209G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53366173401361,"sku":"CIN1790994209VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1790994209.jpg?v=1751410942"},{"product_id":"witch-s-art-of-incantation-book-roger-j-horne-9798700711593","title":"The Witch's Art of Incantation","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49573751128337,"sku":"GOR012177348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B08TZBTKWN.jpg?v=1751224441"},{"product_id":"folk-witchcraft-book-roger-j-horne-9781736762509","title":"Folk Witchcraft","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49767844741393,"sku":"GOR011741945","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764927107345,"sku":"CIN1736762508VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51028207534353,"sku":"CIN1736762508G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51050140795153,"sku":"NIN9781736762509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52082551292177,"sku":"GOR012370642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52453725929745,"sku":"NLS9781736762509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52960416203025,"sku":"GOR014669214","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1736762508.jpg?v=1757414138"},{"product_id":"broom-at-midnight-book-roger-j-horne-9781736762516","title":"A Broom at Midnight","description":"\u003cp\u003ePreserved in medieval and early modern witch-lore, the image of the witch embarking upon flight has become iconic from a historic and folkloric perspective. In the accounts of previous ages, however, it was commonly understood that witches flew in spirit form rather than corporeal form, leaving the physical body behind as the practitioner voyaged into the otherworld to procure knowledge, learn charms, visit boon or bane upon others, and attend the spiritual gathering of the witches' sabbat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this unique offering, the author organizes the lore and charms of the transvective arts around thirteen central lessons and approaches in methodology, acting as gates through which the practitioner may cross.

The witches here come in many forms, not only the legendary malevolent practitioner of dark intent, but also the village healer, the seer, the wise man, and the conjuror of spirits. \nAmong these treasures of antiquity, we find the woodland witch who roams the land as a hare, a cat, a bird, or even a deer. We find sea-witches and wind-witches who can conjure gentle gales or dire tempests at will. We find charmers, cunning folk, and white witches who can return curses back on those who cast them. We find accounts of old charms, spells, and talismans that were once the stuff of legend. \nA Gathering of Witches breathes fresh life into these folktales of ages past, many from Scotland and the New World, reflecting the author's own heritage, but also tales from Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and England-including several tales from the distinct witch lore of Cornwall. These stories of various witching folk, considered together, illustrate the ways the lore of witchcraft has spread its branches over time, being both similar and unique across cultures.\nA work of love dedicated to the beauty of old witch-lore, A Gathering of Witches is a treasury of tales that capture the long-held beliefs, customs, and superstitions that shaped for previous ages the magic conjured by the word \"witch.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52625192747281,"sku":"NLS9781736762578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52754290442513,"sku":"NIN9781736762578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781736762578.jpg?v=1763116267"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-roger-j-horne.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
