Updated and Revised 2nd Edition! Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch is a delightful mixture of academia and accessibility; a book that explores Witchcraft in Ireland: how it was, is, and will be.
The 2nd edition of this book continues to do now what it did for so many on first publication - it bridges the gap between \'Celtic\' NeoPagan nonsense, and authentic Irish Pagan Practice..
It was the book that this author had sought, for over a decade previously...
When it was released in 2004, this was the first traditionally published Pagan book ever written by an Irish author. -- Providing alternatives to the traditional stages of a child\'s life in modern Irish culture. -- Looking at ritual progression through a Witch\'s life: magical training, physical growth. -- Examining the wheel of the year, with its festivals, cycles, and seasons of Irish culture.
And the present and beyond by: -- Working with Irish Gods and Goddesses, landscapes, and energies. -- Examining historical evidence of the Witch trials that swept across the island of Ireland through the ages. -- Looking at Witchcraft and magic by examining the customs connected with the Sidhe (the Irish Fairies).
Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch explores the past: -- Providing an investigation of the Witches\' place in Irish mythology.
Lora O\'Brien is an Irish Draoí (user of magic) working closely with her heritage and her native land, providing a contemporary guide to genuine practice.
It succeeds where many books have failed - fulfilling the longing for real Irish Witchcraft, while crafting the delicate balance between learning from the past and weaving a modern system based on truth and respect.
