(New Page Books, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA)

 

    

 

We are pleased to announce the publication of our new book Progressive Witchcraft:  Spirituality, Training and The Mysteries in Modern Wicca will be January 2004 through New Page Books.  This is our most radical work to date, including the metaphysics behind ritual, Drawing Down the Moon and trance, and setting up a progressive coven from scratch.

'Progressive Witchcraft is required reading and an important contribution to
the powerful, anti-dogmatic and evolutionary leap occurring within modern
Wicca and Witchcraft.  It is a wise, inspiring and useful guide for all
those seeking the real and holy magic of union with the Divine, the true
purpose of this profound spiritual path'.

The Healing Craft;

Healing Practises for Witches, Pagans and the New Age

ISBN 0-7090-6563-9

(Phoenix Publications Inc. Custer, WA USA, and Robert Hales Ltd. London)

Healing Craft Watch for review chapters in PANGAEA magazine, and other leading Occult Magazines.

This is a groundbreaking new work; the first book of it's kind on healing specifically for Witches, Pagans and Occultists. It includes extensive chapters on the Spiritual (aura/chakras/caballa etc), Mental (psychology), and physical body. A book which has combined occult wisdom with holistic principle, it has practical chapters on Spiritual (Aura/Chakric) Healing, Massage, Herbalism, Shamanistic Healing, Counselling with Regression and Tarot, and the last act of healing; Last Rites.

Here's what some people are saying about it:

"All I can do is sing praises for this book! It is wonderful!!! I have been a Certified Nurse's Asst. for almost two years now and just recently got my certification in mental rehabilitation asst. The book is more complete than any other on the subject of healing than any I have read! The sections on the systems of the body will be most informative to those who know little of them! Thanks for another master piece! Sincerely, Byron"

"I ordered your book from Barnes and Noble several weeks ago, the book showed up in 6 days. Great Book!!! ... I know that the book only gives an overview of how the physical body funtions and interacts with itself, but it is a lot more than I absorbed in school back in the 60s. I have not finished reading it yet, but it will be a main reference book for my healing techniques. Thank you, and the Farrars as well for a great book". Labhran DolphinHeart

"I manage a bookstore in Columbus, Ohio, and The Healing Craft is very popular with our 'grown-up' customers. Bought a copy for myself, and will be adding it to the reading list for 2nd and 3rd-degree coveners. Shared it with a local Native American leader, and he is finding it to be very useful." Lilith
