High Priestess is a fascinating account of a witch's life as a High Priestess of the Great Goddess.Patricia verifies the Craft's system of Degrees by providing proof of their usage in ancient times and gives startling evidence concerning the long-standing enigma of how Alex Sanders obtained the Book of Shadows, which he incorporated into his own brand of witchcraft. One of the most interesting parts of the book is her recollections of her friendships with occultists and witches such as William Gray, R. J. Stewart, Ray Bone, Ruth Wynn-Owen, and, of course, Gerald Gardner.
Patricia Crowther, leading light in present-day Witchcraft tells of her early years in both entertainment and magic.
In her latest book, Patricia Crowther explores some of the many questions she has been asked over almost 50 years as an initiate of the craft and a high priestess of the Great Goddess. What is a witch's ladder? Why is the left hand associated with the devil? Is it true that only a young woman can become a high priestess? These are just some of the questions addressed in these pages. An acknowledged authority on witchcraft and magic, the author offers the reader the benefit of her considerable knowledge. There are sections on Magic Mirrors, the validity of self-initiation, how to protect yourself against ill-wishing, the Mansions of the Moon, talismans, the language of flowers, and a guide to running a successful coven. Laced with poetry, this new paperback edition of Covensense will be an instructive and exciting addition to any Occultist's library.
An account of a witch's life by a High Priestess and some of the experiences she has gone through, including being the target of black magic rites performed by a Christian priest.
A small book of the region's lore by a practitioner of Witchcraft, this important and detailed book described customs, legends, spells, and beliefs of the Yorkshire area of the UK. Originally published in the UK in 1973.
Patricia Crowther lifts the lid off the cauldron and reveals the truth about Witchcraft, sharing it's history and the methods and theory behind magic and self-initiation. Included here are spells, chants, prayers, divination methods, information on ancient symbols, the effects of sonics, cosmic tides and the workings of planetary rituals. She discusses how the collective unconscious reflects the reasoning behind the performance of certain ancient folk rituals such as dancing, singing and the acting out of legends.
Thought to be the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed. It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch. The Meaning of Witchcraft is an invaluable source book for witches today. Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs, The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft, Druidism and the Aryan Celts, Magic Thinking, Curious Beliefs about Witches, Signs and Symbols, The Black Mass, Some Allegations Examined. The Meaning of Witchcraft is a record of witches' roots-and a tribute to a founding pioneer with the courage to set that record straight.
