Wicca: An Introductory Guide for the Aspiring Witch
Summary
Explore the beauty and wisdom of the Wiccan path. Within this human experience, many of us sense that we are constituents of something much greater, of something infinite. Many of us have the notion of being an individual pixel of awareness within the cosmic image of existence. It is the Witch who knows that every pixel is of equal value, as each contributes to the composition and clarity of the whole picture. It is the Witch who recognizes divine consciousness in all life, and treats all beings as such. And, it is the Witch who dedicates his or her life to divinity's evolution by way of honoring the self, seeking wisdom, revering nature, and by directing energy in accordance with Universal Law (practicing magick). Simply stated, Wicca is a modern religion of the Witch. As a Neo-Pagan religion, Wicca adapts age-old beliefs to a modern world. It is a patchwork religion, in which one man stitched together several belief systems that had a common thread. Metaphysical understanding is what underlies all the elements composing Wicca. There are influences from Witchcraft, ceremonial magic, Freemasonry, Thelema, etc. Wicca's permissive nature allows individuals to freely build on its foundation. It is accepting and accommodating to all who respect it. In the face of conventional dogmatic religious structures, Wicca is a release from the shackles of spiritual oppression. It provides a nurturing environment for a soul to relearn how to spread its wings. During the course of this book you will learn about: The origins and history of Wicca The Gods and Goddesses The elements and their importance The Wiccan Rede and the Threefold Law The Wheel of the Year, Esbats and Sabbats The nature of magick Choosing your Wiccan path Creating your very own altar setup How to perform some simple spells for beginners And more!

Astrology: The 12 Zodiac Signs
Summary
For some people, it is a forbidden art associated with sin and sorcery, banned by various organized religions. For others, it may be nothing more than wishful thinking, or an age old hoax that just won't go away. To the intuitive seeker, however, it is a valuable system filled with startling revelations about the self and others. It can explain people's many different personalities, be a great guide to healthy relationships and even aid us in finding success and meaning in our earthly lives. I am of course talking about the great language of the stars, astrology. This ancient, cosmic science views mankind as not only being affected by genes and environment, but also by the condition of our solar system at the time of our birth. During the course of this book, we will go through the basics of astrology, before taking a close look at each of the 12 zodiac signs, their unique traits and meanings, their ideal partners, and how this information can help you better understand the true spiritual essence of yourself and others.
