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. Irish Witchcraft From an Irish Witch explores the past: * Providing an investigation of the Witches' place in Irish mythology. * Looking at Witchcraft and magic by examining the customs connected with the Sidhe. * Examining historical evidence of the Witch trials that swept across the isle. And the present and beyond by: * Working with Irish deities, landscapes, energies, and antiquities. * Examining the wheel of the year, with its festivals, cycles, and seasons of Irish culture. * Looking at ritual progression through a Witch's life: magical training, physical growth. * Providing alternatives to the traditional stages of a child's life in modern Irish culture.
