Wiccan
Beliefs & Practices
By Gary
Cantrell
Price: $14.95
Celtic
Connection Price $11.95
Modern Wicca is a vibrant, uplifting nature religion practiced by hundreds of
thousands of people in the United States alone. But wearing "witchy" jewelry and
casting a few spells does not make one a witch, for Wicca is a lifestyle and
those who walk its path have solemnly dedicated themselves to the service of the
Goddess and God.
Wiccan Beliefs and Practices was written for the
solitary witch or non-traditional small coven. Written by a Wiccan High Priest
and retired aerospace engineer, Wiccan Beliefs & Practices includes
crucial information not found in other introductory Wiccan books, including:
- Ethics of a Witch, including the Code of Chivalry
- How to write and develop your own spells and rituals;
- The physically-challenged Witch
- Out of the broom closet: is it right for you?
- Know your rights: the legal protection of Wicca as a legitimate
religion
Author Gary Cantrell speaks from personal experience with
Wiccans of all ages and degrees of physical ability, bringing you an earnest
examination of modern Wiccan beliefs and a practical guide to the Craft of the
Wise.
In the following excerpt, the author explains why he chose to "come
out of the broom closet."
I elected to reveal my practice of witchcraft
publicly simply because I personally feel that the time for intentionally hiding
ourselves has come to an end. We are practitioners of a kind, gentle, and
peace-loving religion. We are not the bloodthirsty or depraved, orgiastic
fanatics all too often portrayed by the entertainment and news media. The
general public has been misled about witchcraft for over a thousand years, and
now with our numbers reaching an all-time high, possibly in excess of one
million people worldwide, we need to stand up and set that record
straight.
We are out there by the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands. We
are in the arts, the sciences, and the humanities. We are law enforcement
officers, engineers, builders, doctors, and farmers. We are a legally recognized
religion under the protection of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and our isolation from the rest of the religious community should
and must come to an end. With the phenomenal growth of witchcraft since the
1970s and with the free and easy interchange of information afforded to us by
things like the Internet, that time will come to pass and it will happen soon.
It may be happening now.
