About this title

Synopsis

Wicca places the responsibility for magickal & spiritual development firmly in the hands of the individual. Through the practice of ritual Wiccans celebrate their Goddesses and Gods and the ever changing phases of Nature. It fulfils a need for Magick, Mysticism and Religion which are so often lacking in the modern world we live in. This book explores the core practices and symbolism of Wiccan ritual. The rituals can easily be adapted to suit the need of individual practitioners and practical examples are given throughout. Subjects covered include: The Ritual Tools & Consecration Ritual & Altar Preparation Creation of Ritual Space The Four Elements, Elemental Guardians & Landscapes Invocation of the Goddess, God & Old Ones Planetary Hours Magickal Gestures Both Sorita & David have been practicing magickal ceremony since their teens, with more than 35 years experience between them. Together they founded the Wiccan training circle VITRIOL Grove and several Wiccan Covens. Additionally they give regular lectures and workshops around Europe and have led many large and small public and private ceremonies. They live in London (UK).
