FROM THE PUBLISHER

You've seen it in the movies. You've heard about it on TV. Perhaps it interests you, or even frightens you. What are these people who call themselves witches doing?

And now you are investigating for yourself. How can you tell which books are accurate? Well, if you want to discover what Witches really do, shouldn't you ask one? Here, for the first time, is a complete introduction to what real Witchcraft is (and what it is not) written by one of the best-known writers on the subject, Scott Cunningham. If you're thinking of becoming a Witch; if you know somebody who is a Witch and want to see what that person believes and does; or if you've heard wild stories about Witches and want to find out the facts, you must get The Truth About Witchcraft Today.

This book exposes the whole truth about modern Witches. In this book you will learn that Witches do not worship Satan - they don't even believe in the devil! It reveals that Witches worship the divine as a God and a Goddess, revere the Earth, and do not proselytize.

Also revealed here are the tools of the Witch, from cauldron and cup, to flowers and the athame (a knife — usually black-handled — used in ritual but never to cut skin). Also included are what goes on in the rituals of the Witch, from initiation through full moon rituals and rituals for the holidays of Witchcraft. Examples are given so you can follow along if you wish.

Of course, you'll also learn how to make the famous Witch's magical circle, where all Wiccan rituals take place. Included is information on the folk magic of the Witch and how you can do it.

If you are looking for a source to reveal what modern Witchcraft is really all about, this is the one book you need.
