The Religion of Witchcraft (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733246682)

Witchcraft is both a religion and a myth. It is a secret society, a fertility cult, a mystery cult, and a Priesthood. The Initiatory culture of Witchcraft spans generations, representing the lives of thousands of our forebears. After thousands of years of suppression, the Witch, the Priestess, reclaims her role, returning that lost power and holy presence to Western civilization once again.

"Brian Cain's work stands as a fiery beacon, illuminating the path of Witchcraft and magic for those who seek to harmonize with the ancient wisdom and reverence for nature that is at the very heart of our religion." - Laurie Cabot

In this book, you will be given a window to peer further into that world-a world filled with old gods and secret rites, forbidden practices, mystery, and magic. A world filled with Priests, Priestesses, Covens, Initiations, and Sabbatical ecstasy. This book acts as a bridge between the path of Priesthood and the outer court of countless devotees to religious Witchcraft, uniting them both in inspired worship.

"Cain's ability to demystify complex subjects like Neoplatonism, the Qabalah, and the Grimoire traditions, while weaving in the personal narratives of witches from around the world, creates an engaging and enlightening read." - Fiona Horne

Join Brian Cain on a journey through Witchcraft's rich legacy, from the Mystery Cults of Egypt and Rome to the folk beliefs of medieval Europe and the British Witchcraft Revival of the 1950s. Learn the truth about the Craft, the Gods and Goddesses they worship, and the real origins of the so-called Devil, practice from an actual modern grimoire, and embrace the living Religion of the great Goddess!

"This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the true essence and responsibilities of the Witch's traditional path of divine eloquence, offering a compelling reminder of the power and reverence of sacred vows and the incredible strength of the group mind." - Silver Ravenwolf
