{"product_id":"book-of-shadows-9780738702131","title":"Book of Shadows","description":"Wicca is essentially a religion, as sacred and vital as other religions. Its central foundation is nature and all of its laws. Witches maintain a constant identification with the flora, fauna, the waters, the winds, and all other natural phenomena. Yet Wiccan beliefs and practices are often unknown or misunderstood by non-Pagans and the uninitiated. Approaching the Craft from the Gardnerian perspective, Migene Gonz lez-Wippler offers a friendly, straightforward introduction to the Old Religion and sheds light on what it truly means to be a Witch. What goes on at coven meetings? How do Witches perform magic? Why does magic work? From initiation rites to invoking elementals, Gonz lez-Wippler explains both practical and spiritual aspects of Wiccan traditions. Book of Shadows also teaches the significance of Moon phases, herbs, colors, crystals, common magical tools, and other implements when performing sacred ceremonies and rituals. Praise: \"Those looking for a 'how-to' guide for becoming a witch will find this a useful, well-written resource.\" -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY \"This tome compiles the necessary rudiments and formalized practices of a given tradition\/coven-previously kept closely guarded within the confines of membership-into a single volume for reference.\"-LIBRARY JOURNAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Llewellyn Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738702131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.05w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2005 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2005 pg. 137\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Migene Gonzalez-Wippler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641222656156,"sku":"9780738702131","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8eb7e380-0829-4ff8-91f0-646717df4603.jpg?v=1603853305","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/book-of-shadows-9780738702131","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
