Witchcraft is a joyous celebration of nature: of the seasons, of earth, fire, air, water, and spirit; of the waxing and waning moon and the fiery sun; of the life force manifesting as the Goddess and God. For those starting out on the Wiccan path, the time eventually comes when you want to delve deeper than an introductory text can take you. How can you be sure you are "doing it right?" What if you make mistakes? And what about the snippets of knowledge that come through experience?

The Sacred Round takes you to the next level of spiritual development and magical prowess with the kind of information you get in a coven or from a teacher. Within the pages of this book, you will find instruction on:

• spells
• rituals
• seasonal rites
• the chakras
• divination
• magick
• meditations
• visualizations

Written by a practicing witch with many years of experience both living and teaching the Craft, The Sacred Round gives a unique view of both solitary practice, and the way a coven or group can interact to create powerful rituals and magical work. You'll learn some of Elen Hawke's own spells, plus the basic framework of many of the rituals she and her coven use at the eight festivals in Britain.

Whether you are a novice witch or a more experienced practitioner wanting to learn more, you will be encouraged and empowered by Craft Elder Elen Hawke's easy-to-follow yet meaningful teaching, while being moved by the beautiful and descriptive language. This guide to the Craft gives you the means to explore further, building a solid foundation for your own life as a witch.
