Book of Shadows: A Modern Woman’s Journey into the Wisdom of Witchcraft and the Magic of the Goddess

 

When high-powered Manhattan lawyer. Phyllis Curott began exploring Witchcraft, she discovered a spiritual movement that defied all stereotypes. Encountering neither satan- ierites nor eccentric spinsters, she came to know a clandestine religion of the Goddess that had been forced into hiding over the course of history. Book of Shadows chronicles Curott's remarkable initiation into Wicca (meaning "wise one"), her ascent to the posi- tion of Wiccan High Priestess, and her efforts to reconcile her newfound spirituality with her struggles as a woman rising through the ranks of the corporate world. Along the way, she relates the history of Witchcraft and shares many traditional Wiccan prac tices such as casting a circle, drawing down the Goddess, and casting spells for health. prosperity, and love. Engagingly written and rich with detailed rituals and techniques, this inspirational book traces a modern woman's spiritual journey into a realm of extra- ordinary experience and enlightenment.
