In Memoriam: Cora Anderson 1917 - 2008
An Intimate Self-Portrait from
America's Most Beloved Craft Elder
"That night I had a very strange experience. I lay on my bed, half-awake and half-asleep. I glanced toward the window and saw a most delightful sight--there was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Before me was a real fairy. She was about a foot tall and very slender. She looked like a tiny golden girl, with blond hair and sparkling blue eyes."
Through sharing personal narrative and spiritual insight, Cora Anderson, the foremost teacher of the Feri/Faery Tradition, takes us on a journey from her impoverished childhood in rural Alabama to her marriage to the blind poet and shaman Victor H. Anderson.

During their 57-year marriage, the Andersons developed a vibrant Craft tradition that has touched countless lives. This warm, intimate, and sometimes humorous memoir provides a glimpse into the world of a true American hill Witch. Included are some of Cora's recipes, personal spells, and all of her poetry.

The Ultimate Guide to the Pagan Holidays

"While the true believers and their critics may rage at one another about just how old Witchcraft or Wicca really is, one thing cannot be disputed: our holidays are the oldest in the world."
--Mike Nichols, The Witches' Sabbats

From the celebrated author of The Witches' Sabbats Web site, Mike Nichols discusses the historical and mythological customs, lore, and traditions associated with the eight Pagan holidays. Beautifully illustrated, The Witches' Sabbats also includes:
  • A new preface, "Counting the Days";
  • A new, never-before published essay, "Marking the Sabbats";
  • A new bibliography and index;
  • Two recent articles;
  • Plus four additional thought-provoking essays!
"Recommended Reading."
--Publishers Weekly, "All Faiths Calendar" (Nov. '05 - Jan. '06)

"Many of Mike's articles--including his beloved essays on the Pagan holidays--have by now reached and influenced a worldwide readership."
--Dallas Heltzell, online news editor-producer, The Denver Post

"A worthy addition to any pagan’s bookshelf."
--New Witch magazine

"Multi-decade, Craft Veteran Mike Nichols's work on the Pagan Holidays is quickly becoming the standard on the subject."
--Wren Walker, The Witches' Voice

"Arguably the finest Sabbats writing in the modern craft today."
--Fritz Jung, The Witches' Voice

"[Mike's] good humor and clear writing style, as well as his solid scholarship, make these articles the benchmarks that many strive to achieve."
--Daven's Journal
