Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch: Wicca & Witchcraft Books : Pentacle Press

Have you ever wondered about your Irish heritage?

Have you longed to know more about the myth and magic of Irish culture, but have been frustrated by the lack of genuine experience exhibited by many who claim to be experts?

Have you tried and failed to work your way through accurate yet frustratingly boring academic tomes on Irish myth and legends?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Irish Witchcraft From an Irish Witch is the book for you!

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. 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. Lora O’Brien is a genuine Irish Witch, making no claims of "fraudulent family traditions"--she is simply a woman who walks her path and shares her experiences, working closely with her heritage and land in a contemporary setting.
