Rev. Karen Tate

Embracing the Feminine Consciousness by Rev. Karen Tate One thing is certain - change is inevitable and it occurs when enough people will it, after a profound event, or when circumstances collide that usher in transitions or new beginnings. Some people say the concept of Goddess, whether that be a deity, archetype or ideal for cultural and social change, is an idea whose time has come and gone. It is little more than a feminist fantasy and discredited spirituality. Millions would disagree and state mainstreaming Goddess Spirituality, or ideals of the Feminine Consciousness, spiritually, culturally and politically, is an idea that is flowering and finding its way back within mainstream life across continents and cultures.

Fire Child by Maxine Sanders Maxine is a highly respected Priestess of the Sacred
Mysteries. She has encouraged, enabled and inspired students of the Priesthood
to take on the conscious mantle of their spiritual potential. She believes the
catalyst for that inspiration comes from the Cauldron of the Goddess in all its
guises.

Wicca 404: Advanced Goddess Thealogy
|
TWPT's The Author's Corner Page Wicca 404 TWPT talks to Esra Free " In all honesty, I have never considered myself a writer. Even with Wicca 404 published and out there in the world, I still don't. I am a High Priestess. A humble explorer along the Path and a weaver of the Craft, and that's enough for me. Prior to writing Wicca 404, in my role as High Priestess for the Cosmic Goddess Coven, I wrote a great deal as far as our common Book of Shadows, lesson plans for new initiates, our internal newsletter and the like. It was in these venues that I worked out, in relationship with everybody else and happenings within the coven, the basic thealogy that is expressed in the book.

The Witches' Heart |
The Witches' Heart by Eileen Smith “The Witches’ Heart,” by Eileen Smith, offers a new and
innovative look at traditional Wicca.
The book is the perfect teaching tool for covens to use with their
students, or for individual seekers to use as a guide along their journey. Based on the Earth Guard tradition, founded by
the author in 1998, “The Witches’ Heart” is an insightful mix of both personal
experiences and traditional teachings. Other Book Reviews available on TWPT

Jesse Wolf Hardin Updated 02-03-2008 |
This month Jesse's new article is entitled This Age of Heroes. From out of the mythic, mist draped past a host of heroes and heras beckon us to hear and heed, urge us forward to our own opportunities for heartful heroism. The stories of brave Ulysses and Queen Boudica, the wise Merlin and indomitable Sparticus are not meant to merely entertain us. Nor did our ancestral wizards and warriors intend to spare us our own great struggles, enlightening challenges and soul-satisfying victories! They acted and sacrificed, succeeded and excelled in order to meet the unique threats and critical needs of their people, their lives and times. Our own day and age is no less perilous or in need of able champions than was theirs, and plenty of events arise in our contemporary lives that demand an assertive and valiant response. |

Kate West
The Real Witches' Craft |
TWPT's New Release Book Spotlight The Real Witches' Craft has never before been available in the US. It is the natural follow-up to West's first book, but stands on its own as a yearlong guide for developing advanced skills and techniques of effective magic. This book is very practical and "hands-on." It is filled with exercises and methods for a wide variety of magical practices and understandings. Included is information on: • The magical elements While her first book tells you about Witchcraft, including its beliefs and practices, The Real Witches' Craft reveals the practical aspects of doing magic. This is the training that a person might receive while spending his or her first year with a coven. This is the book on Witchcraft that goes beyond simple spellcraft. For years, people have wanted "the real thing," the deeper and most powerful techniques of Witchcraft magic. Unfortunately, it has usually been doled out in small bits, often hidden away within spellbooks and "cook book" formulaic methods. Now it is all laid bare in a single, comprehensive resource. It's ideal for use as a manual for covens, too. Kate West has been a practising Witch for over thirty years. Kate was born in 1957 and raised in Kent, since then she has travelled a fair proportion of the world, and resided in many different places. She discovered in her late teens that the path she was seeking was called Witchcraft. At around the same time her eldest brother was studying for the Priesthood of the Church of England. Kate has been a Civil Servant, Veterinary Nurse, Employment and Management Consultant before succumbing to the Mother Goddess and raising a child.. She is High Priestess of the Hearth of Hecate and has been Vice-President and Media Co-ordinator of the Pagan Federation. She is the respected author of The Real Witches Handbook and The Real Witches Kitchen and a popular speaker on the Craft. Kate first started writing about the Craft in 1995, since that time she has released 3 books on the Craft and a series of 3 booklets about Rites of Passage. In addition to her writing she also regularly speaks on the subject to a wide variety of audiences. In collaboration with Steve Paine she gave a multimedia performance called 'Colour Sound & Craft' at PantheoCon '96 at San Jose, California. This led to Kate producing a series of 6 Pathworking Tapes called 'Pagan Paths'. Kate regularly contributes articles to a growing number of Pagan and Witchcraft related publications. Kate regularly speaks at events up and down the UK. Occasionally she travels further afield, to Europe and the USA. From Pagan Conferences to Book signings to Festivals. She speaks on a wide range of topics related to the Craft, though commonly she spends most time explaining the beliefs and spirituality of the Craft. Kate also enjoys doing workshops, enabling her audience to experience some of the more practical aspects of Witchcraft. http://www.witchcraft.org/kate.htm |
