Because of its association with fire, and the fascination many of us have for the flickering candle flame, candle magic is probably the most popular form of magic used by Witches and Pagans today. Candle magic is almost always one of the first magical skills learned by a new Witch, and is often overlooked later for this reason. A skill half learned is never a good thing which is where this book comes into it’s own.

For those who are drawn to Anglo-Saxon heathenry and want to know more about their magical heritage, this booklet is an excellent place to start.This booklet priced at only £2.50 plus 63p postage may only have 40 pages but it is packed with good information with absolutely no unnecessary padding.

These cards and their accompanying book have been produced to the highest standard I have seen, with a quality feel as soon as you open the box. These are not just another oracle, these cards really tell the story of divination through the ages to the present day. A unique mix of information and divination tool that really works as the subject you are learning the history of is divination itself.

This small book of poetry and prose insights is a juxtaposed interaction with a rather individual imagined character, Caliban and a form of reality as perceived through the lens of a romantic form of ancient magic.
The prose, in a style which, to my eyes, comes over with a hint of personal intimacy reflected in the poetic muse This, in itself, has in its essence, an indirect link with the spirit of Paganism,
Mother Moon is their 19th album I have been a fan of their music for years and still look forward to new releases to see what new directions they are exploring. This album starts with the title track in typical Inkubus goth rock style, lots of guitar and a great bass line with Candia’a vocals setting the mood of the whole track. It would have been simple for them to continue that theme for the entire album, but they didn’t.

The Anglo-Saxon and Norse periods of British history has always fascinated me since my introduction at junior school, I was disappointed that earlier periods were never covered later in school. The problems facing any scholar of Anglo Saxon history in this country are the lack of archeology, with the exception of a small number of spectacular finds, and the only people who could read and write during that period were Christian priests.

I have never read a Mrs Darley’s book before although I’ve heard good reports from people that have. So I had high expectations for this book before I even started. It is a hard book to classify, partly a story, and partly a practical reference, although that sounds an unlikely mixture I am glad to report that it works really well. The country cottage environment gives the book a suitably old witchy feel, and the information it gives is excellent too.

Philip Hesleton has continued his series of books on major historical figures in paganism with this excellent biography on Doreen Valiente. The book covers her entire life and concludes with the impact of her legacy. I am fortunate enough to have met Doreen myself on two occasions, and talked to her several times on the phone, and I can confirm the impression of her given in the book is accurate.

This is by far the most complete book on knot magic I have seen, and includes absolutely everything you could need to know. This ancient form of magic is not used as often as other more visual alternatives such as candle magic, but it is every bit as versatile and powerful as you will find out in this book.

Jane Meredith is an experienced ritualist, and expert in mythology, so I expected great things from this book, I am pleased to report I was not disappointed.
