The Gray Witch's Grimoire is a unique book. The world of the gray witch has been largely avoided, misrepresented, or glossed over with various books geared gingerly towards ‘protection magic’. These books, though informative and well written as they may be, have totally missed the spirit of the gray witch – who she really is, how she relates to the world of shadow and light, and exactly what she’s willing to do to stand her ground.

In our society ‘dark’ is automatically viewed as ‘evil’; and ‘light’ is automatically viewed as ‘good’. We’re expected to live completely within one realm and to totally avoid the other. This creates imbalance and is a great injustice to the true spirit of the ancient wise woman.

This book puts matters to right and gives the public a view of just what the gray witch is – and what she isn’t. The gray witch does not live in a world of chaos or unbridled black magic. She has a code of honour, a sense of propriety, and a relevance in today’s society.

 The book has plenty of great details about the months of the year, touches on the use of hoodoo, and yet also touches on Hermetic magick and application. These subjects are very broad and would require their own book, but the author gives enough for the starting witch to get on with, and breaks it down in straight-forward language. This is indeed a path which is for people who are not of the fluffy-witch variety, or of the hard-core Chaosite/vampiric types, but it does carefully bridge the gap between the two.

A magical mystery tour of the extraordinary historical characters that have defined the unique spiritual landscape of New Orleans.

New Orleans has long been America’s most magical city, inhabited by a fascinating visible and invisible world, full of mysteries, known for its decadence and haunted by its spirits. If Salem, Massachusetts, is famous for its persecution of witches, New Orleans is celebrated for its embrace of the magical, mystical, and paranormal. New Orleans is acclaimed for its witches, ghosts, and vampires. Because of its unique history, New Orleans is the historical stronghold of traditional African religions and spirituality in the US. No other city worldwide is as associated with Vodou as New Orleans.

In her new book, author and scholar Denise Alvarado takes us on a magical tour of New Orleans. There is a mysterious spiritual underbelly hiding in plain sight in New Orleans, and in this book Alvarado shows us where it is and who the characters are. She tells where they come from and how they persist and manifest today. Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints shines a light on notable spirits and folk saints such as Papa Legba, Annie Christmas, Black Hawk, African-American culture hero Jean St. Malo, St. Expedite, plague saint Roch, and, of course, the mother and father of New Orleans Voudou, Marie Laveau and Doctor John Montenée. Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints serves as a secret history of New Orleans, revealing details even locals may not know.

An inspired herbal guide to natural living with ancient techniques, remedies, and rituals from around the world centered on the rhythms of the seasons.

The changing of the seasons is magickal-green leaves transforming into browns and golds, snow melting to show fresh buds. We all recognize these telltale signs, butfew of us are aware of the powerful impact each season has on our spiritual lives. Whether sunny, snowy, windy, rainy, cold, or humid, the weather has a dramatic effect on our being wherever we may live.

The author,Stephanie Rose Bird, is deeply committed to keeping alive the spiritual wisdom of her indigenous African ancestors. In African American Magick, she examines the magickal ability of the seasons to enhance our lives by unearthingancient techniques, rituals, and methods from around the world that reflect each season's inherent energies to supplement body, mind, and soul.

Drawing upon her own ancestral heritage, as well as other cultures and those that have influenced her, Bird offers a lifetime of wisdom and expert botanical knowledge while sharing her path to a holistic and magickal life. Guidance from all over the world, and from classical and modern traditions alike, are offered:- Spiritual insights from Caribbean African American culture
- Wisdom from indigenous Native American traditions
- Buddhist and Hindu meditation practices and rites
- Practices of classical European spiritual traditions
- Lessons from Aboriginal Australian "dreaming" practices

An inspiring exploration of the goddesses of the West African spiritual traditions and their role in shaping Yoruba (Ifa), Santeria, Haitian Vodoun, and New Orleans Voodoo.

Throughout Africa and beyond in the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the divine feminine was revered in the forms of goddesses like the ancient Nana Buluku, water spirits like Yemaya, Oshun, and Mami Wata, and the warrior Oya. The power of these goddesses and spirit beings has taken root in the West. New Orleans, for example, is the home of Marie Laveau, who used her magical powers to become the "Voodoo Queen" of New Orleans.

Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens shows you how to celebrate and cultivate the traits of these goddesses, drawing upon their strengths to empower your own life. In addition to offering a guided tour of the key goddesses of the African religious traditions, the book offers magical spells, rituals, potions, astrological correspondences, sacred offerings, and much more to help guide you on your own transformational journey.

Her traditional education focused on plant science, anthropology, and film at the University of Rhode Island, New York University, and the University of London, and her magickal training includes numerous initiations in Santeria, also known as Lucumi, Haitian Vodoun, and New Orleans Voodoo.

She is a regular guest on several Pagan blogtalk radio shows.

Step into a gentle, nature-based spirituality with Scott Cunningham’s classic guide, “Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner.” Cunningham presents Wicca not just as a system of magic, but as a deeply rooted Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and the God.

In this book, you’ll find:

• A clear and accessible overview of the foundations of Wicca — its worldview, ethics, and place in modern practice.

• Practical instruction in ritual, magic, and sacred space: how to create your own altar, celebrate the Wheel of the Year, honour the deities, and integrate spirituality into everyday life.

• Guidance especially for the solitary practitioner — those who walk the Wiccan path outside of covens or group structures — with encouragement, simplicity, and empowerment for personal practice.

• Appendices and helpful tools: Cunningham’s own “Book of Shadows,” references to ritual supplies, periodicals, and how to ground your magical work in nature-connected life.

Why This Book Stands Out:

• Beginner-friendly: Cunningham writes with clarity and warmth — making often complex spiritual or magical ideas accessible.

• Earth-based & Practical: The focus is on living in harmony with nature, the cycles of the seasons, and the dual deities (Goddess and God) rather than purely abstract or sensational magic.

• Solitary and Empowering: A strong resource for individuals who practice alone, who want a meaningful spiritual framework without needing to join a coven.

• Balanced: It merges religion, magic, and daily living — not just spells, but a way of life.

Ideal For:

• Anyone curious about Wicca and wanting a grounded first book.

• Solitary practitioners seeking credible, well-written guidance.

• Those drawn to nature-based spirituality and ritual rooted in the earth, seasons, and personal empowerment.

• Readers who favour a non-dogmatic, inclusive approach to magical spirituality.
