Have you always been fascinated ('bewitched') by witches and witchcraft? Did you even want to be one? Than this is the book you have been waiting for. The author describes in a clear and gripping way what witchcraft means, how you can become a witch, what witches do and where they refrain from.
Witchcraft, or 'Wicca', is a modern religion of which nature forms the base. Apart from a religion, witchcraft is also a lifestyle. Witchcraft shows you to take care of nature and to help yourself and others. Witches are not scary old women with hooked noses, pointed hats and a broom. They are, just like you and me, women and men who are going to school or to their work, are living in the city, who go out at night to enjoy a great evening and who need to pay their bills.
This books gives answers on questions like 'how do I become a witch?', 'how do I celebrate a witches party?', 'how do I perform rituals?' and many more. Because young people are not often tolerated in a fairy ring - a coven - this book point at the individual person, the witch who works alone (in the beginning). You will find many exercises and clues that will help you find your way into witchcraft. You will learn how to find magical herbs and how to use them, to predict the future, to create your own magical tools and how to work (with) magic. In short: this book is a handbook for young witches (and of course for their parents).
About the author "I am 20 years old and I live in a small village in the northern part of Holland. I have always been fascinated by fairy tales and already at early age I started searching for information about mythology, religion, divination and tarot. When I was twelve I read my first book on witchcraft and its contents offered many important views that would later change my life. Good information was scarce and I never found what I was really looking for. Surfing the net I got in contact with other witches who showed me the way I should follow".
