Editorial Reviews
Witchcraft: Theory and Practice by Ly de Angeles is one of the most complete and fulfilling books on Witchcraft today.
The book is very comprehensive, but I wanted specifically to use the word "fulfilling." This is because the author ó who has been an initiated High Priestess for almost three decades ó knows how to present the information in a way that stirs the blood and makes Witchcraft a powerful system that you'll want to practice. Look at what the author has to say about visualization:
"Proficiency at visualization is most important to all occult training. I have encountered only one or two people in all the years that I have been teaching who were unable to visualize. However, they had the ability to conceptualize with similarly accurate results...
"Without the ability to visualize, projecting into the astral realms is almost impossible (at least consciously...). The ability to visualize is integral to spellcrafting and can lead to dramatic changes and accomplishments..."
This makes it very clear that visualization is vitally important in all aspects of the occult and, more important, that you can do it! She goes on to give five exercises to bring your visualization abilities to a high level.
This is continued throughout the book: information you can use, encouragement for inevitable success, and numerous magical and spiritual practices and techniques. Combine that with a complete explanation of the festivals of Witchcraft, how to do rituals, use the spells, perform a self-initiation, contact the God and the Goddess, and you have one of the most important books on Witchcraft ever!

From the Back Cover
A witch, like the Earth, can be both immeasurably ancient and forever young
A witch realizes certain powers...represents, rather than worships them...invokes them; fuses with them, emotes and lives them; recognizes them in the vast forces of nature and beyond.
This comprehensive manual sets forth the tenets of Witchcraft, and explains in depth why and how magic works. It includes tried and true methods for developing the magical will, along with religious training, ritual observances, and spellcrafting techniques. Witchcraft: Theory and Practice also:
-- Describes unique practices such as fith-fathing, fetching, shapeshifting, and glamouring
-- Tells how to identify and interpret omens and portents
-- Includes instructions on astral travel, cleansings, banishings, and how to make something invisible
-- Offers a guided ritual for self-initiationAll things come full circle -- reclaim the ancient power that sings within your blood through sacred ritual to the Earth and Moon and Sun and Stars.
