This book reveals-through a compelling mix of scholarly research, global mythology and lucid story-telling-the spiritual roots of Western culture: shamanism. Shamanism is the most ancient and persistent experience of human spirituality. All European mythology and paganism until the time of the witchcraft trials is based on shamanism. Through an exhaustive study of the trial records and the testimony of the witches themselves, Kenneth Johnson proves that the European peasants accused of witchcraft died, in fact, for the sake of the world's oldest spiritual path.
Shamanism is our universal link. It survives, in one form or another, because the ability to communicate with the Otherworld is integral to the human condition; it is as natural and necessary as sleeping or dreaming. That is why shamanic practice slips through the net of structured theologies, why it survived the Christianization of Europe, and why it's necessary that our culture restore a living contact with the vibrant force of the Otherworld. Witchcraft and the Shamanic Journey also includes exercises that give you a feeling of the kinds of techniques used by European shamans.

The Serpent Ikons: A Sorcerous Distortion of the Tarot de Marseille Major Arcana is a card deck, philosophical commentary, and grimoire; combining at the very heart of its creation primal art, writing, and magickal practice. Forged in the fire of passion for the Mysteries, the Serpent Ikons are an oblation to the Self and its Daemon in the most sacred of experiences – one’s Life as a deliberate, Initiatory journey fashioned by the creativity and will of the magician.
The Serpent Ikons have their roots in the revolt against any religious authority imposing a singular and unilateral relationship with spiritual forces. They embrace the Witch’s way; that torturous path that defies dogma and distorts order. In The Serpent Ikons, the major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille have been subverted to act as a transgression of the Tarot tradition: the Operant needs only the Self for guidance, and prognostications are consciously chosen then brought into being through ritual with one’s Daemon.
