When we think of the wheel of the year, the Wiccan wheel with its celebrations of the Yule, Beltane, Mabon and Samhain come to mind. But what about a wheel of the year for the rest of us pagans and witches? As a witch living in sunny South Florida, long-time hereditary witch, Temperance Alden, has often felt at odds gearing up to celebrate Yule, for example, when it is 76 degrees and sunny outside.
YEAR OF THE WITCH will help readers create their own intuitive practices in harmony with the climate, culture and local spirits where they live. It’s of interest to witches coming off the Wiccan path and looking for a more personal approach to celebrating the rhythms of nature. YEAR OF THE WITCH covers all aspects of this new, seasonal practice:
· The origins of the neo-pagan wheel of the year and why it is still so
relevant today
· Culture, historical facts and traditions associated with the major
ceremonies
· Basic principles of land-based magick
· How to intuitively connect to the nature below your feet and the local
gods
· Being a custodian to the land and its impact on our spiritual practice

Joseph Glanvill's Saducismus Triumphatus updated and revised. One of the most important texts concerning witchcraft and the paranormal in 17th century Europe. Ghosts, hauntings, witches, enchanted objects, poltergeist phenomena are featured. Witch trials from Somerset, Scotland, Ireland, and Sweden are described in detail using contemporary accounts from witnesses and the accused.
Paranormal activity, including the famous Drummer of Tedworth are also described in vivid, almost journalistic, language. There are ghosts, poltergeists, murder victims seeking post-mortem justice, a “knocking” banshee foretelling death, and a demonic stalker among others. There is a lengthy Introduction, which explains the historical and philosophical background to Saducismus, including the important role played by Cambridge Platonist Henry More, and the circle around Lady Ann Conway.
We have kept the frontispiece from the original and have included it as an illustration.
Limited edition of 200 copies only, with a hand-numbered limitation page.
