Einführung
What does witchcraft make you think of? For many, it’s the idea of ancient hags on broomsticks that fill the skies on Halloween night. For others, it’s the witches in classical literature, such as the weird sisters in Macbeth and Morgan le Fay from Arthurian legend, while to a younger audience it’s the boy wizard Harry Potter, who made magic something fascinating but eminently dark and not to be meddled with unless you’ve done your time at Hogwarts.
For those who have delved into the history of witchcraft, it’s the notorious witch trials that are engraved on the memory. With these references, it’s not so surprising that witchcraft is considered something dangerous and forbidden. Yet modern-day witchcraft, white witchcraft in particular, is altogether more palatable and accessible. Its focus is on using magic for positive purposes, and in a contemporary context this can mean anything from aiding the pursuit of love to unifying people who don’t see eye to
eye to even something mundane like assistance in finding the money to pay for an unexpectedly large water bill.
This book focuses on white witchcraft and the belief that all nature is magical. White witchcraft harnesses nature’s power with the help of natural resources, such as crystals, herbs, and the phases of the moon, along with items traditionally associated with witchcraft, such as a wand or cauldron to perform spells and rituals. However, it’s important to remember that the power of the mind is the most important tool in spell-casting.
The Little Book of Witchcraft will furnish you with knowledge as to the origins and possibilities of witchcraft; and, for those whose interest has been piqued, there is an introduction to casting spells and performing rituals for the twenty-first-century witch.
A note
Witchcraft is frequently considered the domain of women, but men and those who are gender fluid may also find that witchcraft resonates for them too.
All about white witchcraft
White witchcraft in a nutshell
White witchcraft has a close association with paganism in its appreciation and worship of the natural world. By attuning into the forces of the earth, white witches believe they can bring luck to themselves and others; they can fulfill lifetime goals and attract love, good health, success, and happiness.
Those who perform white witchcraft believe that magic is within us all and that it is our birthright to reconnect with this power and learn how to harness it into spells and rituals for the purposes of good. The basic tools for white witchcraft are elements from nature, such as herbs, flowers, trees, and crystals, as well as the phases of the moon, the seasons, and sunlight. These are manipulated and combined with powerful words and actions to produce magic.
White witchcraft is a combination of mental, mystical, and spiritual practices—those who practice it believe that the human mind has the power to affect the world around them, as well as empowering them to take control of their own lives. The belief that the power of the mind enables the spell is akin to the principles of transcendental meditation, where a deep meditative trancelike state is achieved by
