Rites of Initiation, Consecration Rituals, Tools, Herbs, Sabbats, Ceremonies, Ritual Magic, Spellcraft... It's all here!</p><p><br></p><p>From the <em>Key of Solomon</em>, to the <em>Rites of the Golden Dawn</em> and <em>OTO</em>, to the <em>Aradian Gospel of Witches</em>, to the relatively modern innovation of a "Neopagan Eightfold Year" by three men: a Druid (<em>Ross Nichols</em>), a Magician (<em>Aleister Crowley</em>) and a Witch (<em>Gerald Gardner</em>); an underlying story unfolds beneath and back of the 20th Century Witchcraft revival and no stone or pentacle is left unturned in this effective, yet candid, complete practical guide to the true <em>"Arts of Witchcraft."</em></p><p><br></p><p>Long-standing and returning fans will celebrate the release of <em>The Witch's Handbook</em> as the "missing link" of a once proposed "Merlyn Stone" trilogy from the 1990's, which includes <em>"The Sorcerer's Handbook"</em> and <em>"The Druid's Handbook"</em>-both of which have been widely accepted in the underground "New Age" scene already.</p><p><br></p><p>This special premiere edition is dedicated by the author to <em>Fairuza Balk</em> and, as a bonus, features Joshua Free's tribute to <em>"The Craft"</em> movie, including his previously unpublished treatment of its practical witchcraft as <em>"Nancy's Book of Shadows."</em></p>
