"Certain things are everlasting. Magic is one of them. Magic belongs to no one culture, society, or tribe-it is part of the universal wisdom... "To me the word Witch is a delicious word, filled with the most ancient memories that go back to our earliest ancestors, who lived close to natural cycles and understood and appreciated the power and energy that we share with the cosmos. The word Witch can stir these memories and feelings even in the most skeptical mind...."
Laurie Cabot

"Laurie Cabot has written a fascinating account of a beautiful and sadly misunderstood religion, witchcraft....Power of the Witch is a marvelous introduction to the magical and highly ethical world of Wicca."
Whitley Streiber

Power of the Witch, is quite simply, a "must-have" book on the practice of modern Witchcraft. Written by Laurie Cabot, "The Official Witch of Salem" and an ordained High Priestess, with Tom Cowan, Power of the Witch is an inspired and encompassing introduction to the art --and science--of making magick, and the world of Wicca.

In this "no fluff" approach to Witchcraft, Cabot, a practicing Witch for over forty years, and founder of the Cabot Tradition of the Science of Witchcraft, explores the whys and hows of magick, using a scientific approach grounded in physics to explore the method by which spellcasting actually works.

As Cabot notes in her Introduction to Power of the Witch:

"The ancient power of magic is both spiritual and scientific. In recent years, I have met many "New Age" people who ignore the need to ground themselves scientifically. It takes more than wishful thinking to be a comptent, practicing Witch....We must know both the physical and metaphysical principles that underlie all magic and spiritual work so that we can use our powers correctly and for the good of all."

In Power of the Witch, you'll discover:

• The ancient power of magic
• A history of the "Old Religion"
• What they say about Witches
• The "Craft of the Wise" (from altars and Circle-casting to the Sabbats)
• The science of Witchcraft
• Alpha (one of the true highlights of this book)
• Everyday magic
• Milestones in a Witch's life
• Table of correspondences, and much. much more!

Power of the Witch is one of those rare books that every Witch should read.
