Download or read book The Witch s Art of Incantation written by Roger J Horne and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its sampling of over 120 individual incantations rooted in the texts and lore of previous centuries, The Witch's Art of Incantation reveals the often overlooked diversity of the incantatory arts: charms that beckon, charms that command, charms that poison, charms that remember, charms that terrify, charms that praise and exalt. Because each charm is accompanied by an approximate date, region, and associated source text, student witches will sharpen their own knowledge of folkloric texts while engaging with these rich and potent spells. The practical methods in the introduction, though seemingly simple, outline rarely discussed methods of incantation, including the construction of the magical listener and pairings with sympathetic and contagious ritual acts. A virtual witch's psalter of incantatory source material, The Witch's Art of Incantation is sure to make a unique addition to the modern folk witch's library. From the introduction: "In the mid-seventeenth century, Scottish witch Isobel Gowdie's words were believed to hold strange power. An utterance from her was thought by the authorities to spell sickness, doom, or dire misfortune to her victims. What might be a simple rhyme on the tongue of another was transformed in her mouth into a magical act, a machination of the witches' craft, darkly wondrous and full of potency. Whether Gowdie possessed any specific form of training in the witch's art of incantation is beside the point entirely. Speech itself, in the witch's craft, is a magical act. This, reader, is the fulcrum that binds the present volume, the exact aim and goal of this present work. Today, we are both spoiled and plagued by representations of the witches' art of incantation all around us. Our fictive wingardium leviosas and bippity-boppity-boos have inured us to the very real craft of magical words left to us by our real ancestors. Even if one is so fortunate to come across a book with actual historic charms from the past, one must have a certain amount of knowledge and practice in order to make use of it. Yet, this wealth of lore is all around us, it seems. The barriers to achievement in spoken charm and incantation are not so much practical as ideological; most of us don't seem to know what to make of these archaic remnants or how to incorporate them into our practice. Modern witches, in the well-meaning work of creating new charms (that are, for certain, potent in their own right), are sometimes guilty of throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater, abandoning rather than preserving the very real and legitimate inheritance of incantations all around us. Yet, for the folk witch, lore-derived practice is essential. Translating who our ancestors were and what they did into modern life is the heart and soul of the work we do. Folk witchcraft is, as a branch of the modern craft, decidedly personal, ancestral, and flexible, but remains firmly rooted in the witch-lore of the past. By following the truths and charms of our old lore, folk witches arrive at forms of modern witchcraft that make sense to our own individual locales, our familiar spirits, our spiritual ancestors, and our needs...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has their own ideas about witchcraft. But what is a modern witch, really? And how does one go about jumping into witchcraft in the modern age? This book will answer all of those questions and more. Written by a practicing witch, this book presents a broad overview of general magical practices rooted in the bustling and diverse world of modern life. Among the many topics covered in these pages are some of the following: Have you ever wondered what the difference was between a Wiccan and a witch? Or if there was a difference? Well, now you can find out. This book covers several key differences as well as how non-Wiccan witches can work their magic without adhering strictly to the Wiccan religion. Beginning witches will learn how to raise several kinds of protective shields. From wards to protect you during your spell casting to shields that protect you from specific people and beyond, protection spells abound on these pages. Not only will you learn how to protect yourself, but your home and pets as well. Love spells are controversial. But what if there was a way to attract love without trampling the free will of another person? Well, I have good news: there is! This book contains a safe, ethical love spell that will help you find the love you are looking for without violating anyone else's personal freedoms or choice. There is a wild array of witches out there. And finding where you fit into the magical spectrum can be difficult. That is why the spells in this book are written to suit nearly any magical practitioner. You need only substitute out the energy you use most often and perhaps a few aesthetic points, and even the newest magical practitioner can wield these spells within the structure of their personal practice. You might think you know what magic looks like. But modern magic has been influenced, predominantly, by one religion for the last sixty years. Isn't it time for something a little bit new? Aren't you ready to see the full array of what magic can offer you and what you, in turn, can offer to the energies that you work with? This book will help you find all of that and more. Solitary Moon has several books on the subject of magic, each geared to a specific need. Every witch is welcome in these pages; every practice seen as part of the amazing constellation that is the modern magical community.
