About The Inner Mysteries

Wiccan Spirituality Today

A look into the underlying principles behind modern magic, this updated handbook (previously titled Progressive Witchcraft) provides an integrated training system for solitary Witches as well as coven-based trainees in the form of magical energy practice and cosmology. By fully explaining how magic works, this book makes numerous Wiccan practices accessible, including Circle casting, raising energy, elemental work, and Drawing Down the Moon.

Illustrating how Wicca is a modern, nondogmatic, and dynamic tradition in a state of evolution, this guide outlines the tenets of Progressive Witchcraft, putting connection with Deity at the forefront of practice. It also covers the history, spirituality, and metaphysics of Witchcraft, as well as how to start a coven.

This manual forms practically a small grimoire of Witchcraft training exercises and lore, in the style of Doreen Valiente’s *Liber Umbrarum*, in 'Witchcraft for Tomorrow.' ...
