'A GUIDE TO THE TRADITION OF THE SOLO VILLAGE WITCH'

Many villages do not belong to a coven but follow a different, solo branch of our magical heritage, the path of the story-book wizard, the wise woman, the hermit, the folk healer, the druid or the shaman. Working alone, they can connect deeply with nature, talk to trees, follow the patterns of the sun and moon, and feel the changing energies of the year's turning cycle.

Anyone can learn something of their magical powers. The ancient arts and spells are there to be rediscovered, given patience, common sense and longing to know. You can heal yourself, gain peace from stress and find ways of coping with the turmoil of modern life. You can also do good for others, learn to heal with herbs, see into the future and recover the treasures of wisdom from the past. This book shows you where to start.

NEW DIMENSIONS

This book carries on the tradition of the solo village witch emphasizing white rather than black magic. It is a practical manual of instruction for those who choose the solo path of study and particularly stresses the importance of being in tune with nature. As there are approximately 13 moons each year – the book is divided into 13 parts. Each section is aimed at lasting from the new moon to the dark to make the student fully aware of the changing power in the tides of the sea and the tides of the self. The moon-long sections deal with a variety of taditional arts, skills and mental exercises which enables the aspiring witch to discover the inner world of magic inside him/herself.
