From the Publisher:

The Teutonic tradition is as rich and varied as the Hermetic or Kabbalistic systems. Until recently, this system has been largely ignored and often misunderstood. In fact, the Teutonic tradition of magickal practice has actually been a major influence on the modern Western Occult tradition.

Teutonic magick and spirituality offer seekers a great wealth of lore and beliefs, all of which are illuminated in The Truth About Teutonic Magick:

�The concept of troth, the faith of the Teutons, as embodied in the Icelandic Sagas and Northern folklore
�A rich pantheon of divine magickal archetypes
�An ancient runic language which encodes cosmic mysteries
�The eight sacred festivals and how they're celebrated
�A Teutonic form of shamanism involving altered states of consciousness and travel to the nine magickal realms

The Teutonic tradition is attracting increasing interest among students of both High magick and Neo-Paganism. The Truth About Teutonic Magick offers a quick, but thorough, understanding of the basic principles underlying this timeless magickal system. If you're curious about the way of Troth, find out about it and see if it is for you. Get The Truth About Teutonic Magick today.
