Book SynopsisChallenge your assumptions about witchcraft, Paganism, and spiritual seeking and learn how to craft your own magical path with this timely and entertaining exploration of what it means to practice witchcraft from the host of the Inciting A Riot podcast.If you’ve ever wanted to burn your ex’s old stuff in a trash can while drinking wine with your friends and reading tarot cards under the light of the full moon, you already know that magic is an essential part of our human existence. But what is magic, anyway? And are witches real? Where do I start if I want to build a deeper, more personal magical practice? (I mean…can I just make sh*t up?) Perfect for anyone who has wanted to get a little witchy but not known where to start, The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft provides everything you need to discover more about modern witchcraft while forging your own magical path in a responsible and informed way. Fire Lyte takes us on a thoughtful, compulsively readable, and provocative journey, addressing topics such as: -Pop culture and witchcraft -The intersection of science and spirituality -Gatekeeping and inclusivity in the magical community -“Good” vs “bad” magic (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing!) -Why a coffee pot or Dutch oven is just as effective as a cauldron He also provides eleven spell canvasses, perfect for beginners and practicing witches alike to expand their spell-casting repertoire. Whether you’re just starting on your spiritual journey or recent events have inspired you to reexamine your current magical path, this humorous, practical, and insightful book provides a roadmap for anyone curious about enriching their practice.Trade Review“I love this book! The Dabbler’s Guide is a fantastic introduction for folks new to the world of witchcraft as it is right now. There are many missteps one can make when first entering the witchy/Pagan world. Without a friend to guide you, there’s just no reason why you would know about many of them. If you’re in search of a spooky, scary, edgier-than-thou grimoire, this isn’t it. If you are looking for a sharp, funny, and engaging friend to walk you through some first steps while you decide if you want to dive in or only get your toes wet in the ways of the witch, let Fire Lyte be your guide. Did I mention I love this book?” —Aidan Wachter, author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries for Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies “If you’ve ever thought about practicing witchcraft but weren’t sure where to begin, The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft serves up the tea. From discussions of privilege and cultural appropriation to political activism and gatekeeping in the magical community, Fire Lyte says the quiet parts out loud—the parts of modern witchcraft that can be uncomfortable, painful, awkward, and messy. But equally important, he also shares, with tongue-in-cheek humor, the rich benefits, joys, and empowerment that come with living a magical life. The Dabbler’s Guide offers a beginner’s foundation for spiritual exploration, while laying out the expectation that practitioners—whether new or veterans—are going to have to actually do the work if they want to enjoy success. Fire Lyte explains the mechanics of magic so those new to the craft can build their own eclectic traditions, offers tips on being a contributing member of the magical community, and recommends ways to critically evaluate one’s own personal gnosis. The spells are rooted in the use of natural objects, the five senses, and simple correspondences, and are designed in a way that’s both friendly and accessible. For any dabbler—or a longtime practitioner who wants to get back to basics—Fire Lyte’s Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft offers a real and refreshing look at modern magic.”—Patti Wigington, Author of Herb Magic, Witchcraft for Healing, and Badass Ancestors“Chock-full of practical advice and insightful guidance, The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraftprovides a beginning practitioner of witchery with a toolkit that goes beyond cauldrons and broomsticks. Fire Lyte’s experience is balanced by his wry humor and enhanced by research drawing on social science, geology, political theory, and more. You’d be hard-pressed to find a book that cares more about ensuring the reader approaches witchcraft with both enthusiasm and respect. This innovative approach to the beginner’s guide has spells, crystals, and herbs, of course, but also practical advice on spotting spiritual charlatans and avoiding the pitfalls of cultural appropriation. I very much wish I had this sort of book earlier on in my own explorations of witchcraft, but I am thrilled that future generations of witches will be starting here!”—Cory Hutcheson, Author of New World Witchery: A Trove of North American Folk Magic“The Dabbler's Guide is the kind of book that's been needed in the witchcraft canon for decades. It's the book for someone who's new to the path, or someome who is just passing through. With practical and pragmatic advice in spades, the book will hold your hand where the woods get dark, show you were not to step, and lead you to the clearing you've seen in your dreams. This is the book for the seeker in your life, the wannablessedbe, or the witchlet who says they don't believe and then asks you to read their cards. Put it into their hands and show them that they're already dabbling; now it's time to take the permit test for that broomstick.”—Meg Elison, Philip K. Dick award winner"I was sold on this book from the intro which is punchy and fun without ever talking down to its readers. The Dabbler's Guide goes on from there to be the perfect book for any witchling looking for responsible and safe ways to explore new ideas and techniques. It's smart, well-researched, and an absolute delight to read. I am so excited to watch it get into people's hands. The grimoire alone is SO different from other spell appendices I've seen (and the spells work!), and the book leads you there beautifully." —Cassandra Snow, Author of Queering Your Craft and Queering the Tarot "Let's Go On a Journey... these are the words that will lead us down a magical path—one that branches into every aspect of modern witchcraft lifestyle. From the power of the pop-culture witch, to the existentialism of magic, The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft explores the why, what, where and how of today’s witchcraft, and how to navigate the world of magic for everyday living. Fire Lyte offers humor, real-talk, and guidance on the success and failures of spells, the power of community in magic, the potential pit-falls and pleasures of practice, and everything in between. The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft is an illumination on real life witchery, and it has left this reader glowing!"—Via Hedera, Author of Folkloric Witchcraft and the Multicultural Experience: A Crucible at the Crossroads“The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft is an absolute treat from beginning to end. This book answers the questions most newcomers to Witchcraft have when they initially embark upon their journey into developing their own spiritual and magical practice. It touches upon difficult and complex topics in a way that isn’t too daunting. Fire Lyte’s voice throughout the book is casual, yet deeply informative. He comes across not only as a trusted authority on the subject of Witchcraft, but reading his words is like sitting down to chat with a close friend. The inclusion of topics such as pop-culture, politics, and ethics make this book entirely unique and deeply special. Beyond all this, the book presents practical knowledge that the reader can easily incorporate into their own practice. Funny, informative and bold, Fire Lyte’s book shall be the one I recommend to many new Witches in the years to come.”—Mhara Starling, Author of Welsh Witchcraft: A Guide to the Spirits, Lore, and Magic of Wales “Fire Lyte accomplishes with The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft exactly what he set out to do—provide an honest and informed discussion of the realities of magic and people who practice it. This book is that and so much more. It talks about pop-culture magic and why real magic works and when it doesn’t; thankfully this book asks all the important questions and answers even more. Before you dabble, do yourself a big favor and buy this book now!” —Lilith Dorsey, author of Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens and Water Magic “Not your average beginners guide. The questions every witch should be asking themselves as they start to, and continue to, walk their path. Easily digestible, invaluable information for (not just) beginners wrapped in wit and quips that kept me hooked from page one. Love love love!”—D.E. Luet, Author of A Witch’s Book of Shadows “Accessible, intelligent and extensively researched, The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft meets a longstanding need amongst seekers and dabblers of witchcraft and Paganism. Fire Lyte takes readers through the basics and not-so-basics of the craft in a way that is comprehensive and timely, all with wicked-sharp wit along the way. This is a book with heart, and that alone sets it above and beyond most contemporary 101 books out there.”—Josephine Winter, Author of Fire Magic“This book is a toolkit for successfully navigating a magical path. Any longtime magical practitioner will tell you they have had to learn some hard lessons. This book is about those hard lessons and is a must have for new seekers and longtime seekers alike. It gives seekers the tools to navigate the sometimes confusing world of a spiritual and magical path and provides much needed context for new and old books. The tools and lessons discussed bring much needed critical thinking to the forefront, but these important lessons and serious topics are presented and balanced with humor and humility in order to entertain while it educates. We all learn hard lessons but we don’t need to all learn the exact same hard lesson when we can teach the community how to avoid them. This book fills a gap in the market and I am incredibly excited to see its impact. From avoiding scams, cults, and dangerous predators, to approaching different cultures with respect, and weaving in the amazing advances of human knowledge from modern science—this book is a must have!”—Kathleen Borealis, Geologist & Host, Borealis Meditation podcast"The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft is a clever, fun, and erudite journey through what it is to be a modern witch. Full of popular culture references and real world examples this book is relatable and speaks to the reader's lived experiences while relaying important information. Truly a witchcraft book for the 21st century that conveys truth going beyond spirituality." —Morgan Daimler, Author of Fairycraft and Fairies“This may be witchcraft for the dabbler, but there’s plenty here for the alternative religionist, spiritual seeker, and skeptic as well. Fire Lyte’s playful and thoughtful guided tour conveys the range of Pagan belief while leaving plenty of room for personal expression. It’s an engaging window into timely (and timeless) discussions around magic, science, evidence, appropriation, economics, and inclusion as they influence daily practice.” —Ross Blocher, cohost of Oh No, Ross and Carrie! podcast "Fire Lyte draws the reader into the world of magic and witchcraft with wit, humor, and sense (a rare treat in magical texts). His warmth and passion help the reader navigate the fundamentals of magic, while also tackling subjects of appropriation, ethically sourced tools, and critical thinking skills to ensure that readers can cultivate a thriving, meaningful practice that strives for balance within and without. The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft is sure to be a beloved and treasured volume in the library of many witches—beginners and experts alike."—Nicholas Pearson, Author of Crystal Basics and Stones of the Goddess "In The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft the author nurtures you with the most enriching, and precise information, elaborates onn it, and later invites you to think and act on your own. Fire Lyte does not limit himself to giving you the list of steps to follow, but he also leads you to be creative, to find your own source of inspiration, and guides you in the search for your endeavors. Reading this book has been an exhilarating and enriching experience. Fire Lyte stands out for his eloquence as always, transcends all the boundaries about the Craft, and he has absolutely no fear of expressing himself and going beyond everything that we usually find in other books about magic and witchcraft. he dares to think differently, and to make matters "worse," he guides you wisely to do the same.—Elhoim Leafar, author of Manifestation Magic

Book SynopsisA magnificent edition of Splendor Solis for all those interested in alchemy, magic and mysterious manuscripts. Popularly attributed to the legendary figure Salomon Trismosin, Splendor Solis (‘Splendour of the Sun’) is the most beautiful alchemical manuscript ever made, with 22 fabulous illustrations rich in allegorical and mystical symbolism. The paintings are given a fitting showcase in this new Watkins edition, which accompanies them with Joscelyn Godwin’s excellent contemporary translation of the original 16th-century German text, as well as interpretation from alchemical experts Stephen Skinner and Georgiana Hedesan, and from Rafał T. Prinke, an authority in central and Eastern European esoteric manuscripts. Stephen Skinner explains the symbolism of both the text and the illustrations, suggesting that together they describe the physical process of the alchemical transmutation of base metal into gold. Rafal T. Prinke explains the theories about the authorship of both text and illustrations, discussing Splendor Solis as the turning point in alchemical iconography passing from the medieval tradition to that of the Baroque and the reasons for the misattribution of Splendor Solis to Poysel and Trismosin. Georgiana Hedesan looks at the legendary figure of Salomon Trismosin and his creation by followers of Theophrastus Paracelsus as part of an attempt to integrate their master in a lineage of ancient alchemical philosophers. The images are taken from the British Library manuscript Harley 3469, the finest example of the Splendor Solis to survive.

Book SynopsisAn exploration of the traditional rites of auspicious building and crafting• Explains the ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic principles in the laying out of foundations not only for sacred buildings like temples but also for homes and barns• Examines the principles and ceremonies of electional astrology and details how to compute natural time, as opposed to clock time• Shares examples from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that range from the Stone Age to the Renaissance and include secret societiesWhen we make things--whether a building, a sacred space, or a magical object--there is a precise moment when the artifact comes into being as a separate entity. That moment in time possesses its own unique quality, and because of this, there is a right time to do something and a wrong time. And, as Nigel Pennick reveals, we have the power to select favorable moments for our creations, just as our ancestors did. Illustrating ancient principles of divination, chronomancy, and electional astrology, Pennick examines all the factors behind the ancestral art of geomancy: the auspicious creation and alignment of sacred buildings as places of power. Sharing examples from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that range from the Stone Age to the modern day, including secret societies like the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, he explains how many cities were constructed on specially selected sites and founded ritually at precise, predetermined moments. Looking at the traditional rites of creating places of power, Pennick explains the ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic principles in the laying out of foundations as well as the use of sacrifice in the building of many notable structures. Examining the role of sacred geometry in geomancy, Pennick explains the Hermetic meaning assigned to each direction in traditional European cultures as well as the principles of natural measures and the science of understanding lucky and unlucky days. Revealing how geomantic principles are rooted in the structure of the world and the cosmic patterns of space and time, the author shows how they transcend the ages and are just as meaningful today as they were to our ancestors.Trade Review“Scholarly yet accessible, this book presents all the essential precepts of geomantic design and construction timing within the Western traditions. It is ideal reading for anyone wishing to create meaningful sacred spaces in contemporary times or to imbue secular spaces with the timeless spiritual truths that uplift the atmosphere of place.” * Richard Creightmore & Jewels Rocka, leading international teachers of dowsing, geomancy, and self-de *“The archaic lore that traditional builders in Europe once used to bring structures into creative harmony with their physical and spiritual environments has become all but inaccessible to students of the mysteries in today’s world. Creating Places of Power remedies that, placing a wealth of once-secret lore in the reader’s hands. Encyclopedic in its scope and detail, this is the definitive work on a crucial dimension of old earth magic.” * John Michael Greer, author of The Secret of the Temple and The Twilight of Pluto *“In Creating Places of Power, Nigel Pennick, an established authority on folklore, folk magic, and ancient beliefs with more than 60 books to his name, hones his work on the European ancestral heritage of geomancy, sharing fascinating facts and practices that are accessible and also of value today. Crammed with a generous sharing of wisdom, this illustrated book is highly recommended.” * June Kent, publisher and editor of Indie Shaman magazine *Table of ContentsPreface to the New EditionIntroduction CHAPTER 1 Patterns of ExistenceConsciousness, the Gods, and the Stars CHAPTER 2Ceremonial Beginnings Finding and Marking the Place CHAPTER 3 Foundation Offerings, Sacrifices, and Relics CHAPTER 4Consecration, Evocatio, and BlessingsThe Sacred and the ProfaneCHAPTER 5 Symbolic Foundation Laying and Consecrating the First Stone CHAPTER 6 At the Center of the World The Earth’s Navel, the Cosmic Column, and the World TreeCHAPTER 7Space, Time, and Ceremony The Eightfold Division of the World and the Eight Winds CHAPTER 8 The Meaning of the DirectionsSymbolism and Nature of the Winds CHAPTER 9Natural Measure Dimensions Emergent from Nature and the Land CHAPTER 10 Traditional Time-Telling Sunlight and Shadow CHAPTER 11Orientation Facing in the Best Direction CHAPTER 12The City of the Omphalos Cosmic Centers and Symbolic Street Plans CHAPTER 13 At the Right TimeFavorable Days in the Calendar CHAPTER 14 Principles of Electional AstrologyChoosing the Correct Time for Rites and Ceremonies APPENDIX 1 Zodiac Signs and AssociatesAPPENDIX 2 The Egyptian Calendar APPENDIX 3Ruling Signs of CitiesGlossary Bibliography and Sources for Further Reading Index

Book SynopsisThe Bahir is one of the oldest and most influential of all classical Kabbalah texts. Until the publication of the Zohar, the Bahir was the most widely quoted primary source of Kabbalistic teachings. The Bahir is quoted in every major book on Kabbalah, the earliest being the Raavad''s commentary on Sefer Yetzirah, and it is cited numerous times by Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban) in his commentary on the Torah. It is also quoted many times in the Zohar. It was first published around 1176 by the Provence school of Kabbalists; the first printed edition appeared in Amsterdam in 1651. The name Bahir is derived from the first verse quoted in the text (Job 37:21), And now they do not see light, it is brilliant (Bahir) in the skies. It is also called the Midrash of Rabbi Nehuniah ben HaKana, particularly by the Ramban. The reason might be that Rabbi Nehuniah''s name is at the very beginning of the book, but most Kabbalists actually attribute the Bahir to him and his school. Some consider it the oldest kabbalistic text ever written.Although the Bahir is a fairly small book, some 12,000 words in all, it was very highly esteemed among those who probed its mysteries. Rabbi Judah Chayit, a prominent fifteenth-century Kabbalist, writes, Make this book a crown for your head. Much of the text is very difficult to understand, and Rabbi Moshe Cordevero (1522-1570), head of the Safed school of Kabbalah, says, The words of this text are bright (Bahir) and sparkling, but their brilliance can blind the eye. One of the most important concepts revealed in the Bahir is that of the Ten Sefirot, and careful analysis of these discussions yields much of what will be found in later kabbalistic works, as well as their relation to anthropomorphism and the reason for the commandments. Also included is a discussion of reincarnation, or Gilgul, an interpretation of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the Thirty-two Paths of Wisdom, and the concept of Tzimtzum.

Book SynopsisIn this (delightfully screwball) fairy tale romp, even the most wicked deserve their happily-ever-after. For almost a thousand years, Wicked Witch Hector West and Good Witch Ida North have maintained the balance of good and evil, preserving a magical Happily-Ever-After that keeps the realm from falling apart. But even Cardinal Witches need a hobby, and every spare moment they have is spent antagonizing each other. But when Ida's latest harmless hex goes too far, Hector retaliates with a curse that immediately backfires, making her choose the wrong princess for the year's big pantomime. Which, if not corrected immediately, could have world-shaking consequences. One reluctant prince and badly botched dragon kidnapping later, both Hector and Ida are determined to set things right. With love magic gone wild, the two best enemies set off on a quest to save the realm, their lovesick gnome chamberlains at their sides. Yet as they unravel what went wrong with their mixed-up magic, Hector and Ida will have to face a more daunting challenge than trying to avoid their own Wickedly-Ever-After: Deciding whether a millennium worth of enmity might have been the biggest mistake of their very long lives.
