Witches Unite

This book - Witches Unite! by Isis Day - is a bold new perspective on Magic and Witchcraft - very inviting for those of us who're not Witches. Lucky you, if you're a Witch or Wizard - no Pagan should miss this uniquely inspiring book." -- Julie Williams - author of Illuminatista - God 2.0 and Romeo and Julie - My Secret Erotic Dilemma With Romeo of Julingdom. From the book - Witches Unite! - by Dr. Isis Day - "When you go in search of Witchcraft, studying, discussing, socializing, etc., you think you found it - no, you don't find Witchcraft, Witchcraft finds you. You are here for a purpose - you're here on a mission as messengers of peace, love and well-being. Arise now and take your rightful places on earth as Gods and Goddesses, as spiritual kings and queens, princes and princesses! As far as I'm concerned, Magic for personal gain is perfectly OK - I don't see anything wrong with being as wealthy, healthy, happy, sexy and lovable as we'd wish to be, provided we harm no one."

A Community of Witches explores the beliefs and practices of Neo-Paganism and Witchcraft—generally known to scholars and practitioners as Wicca. While the words "magic," "witchcraft," and "paganism" evoke images of the distant past and remote cultures, this book shows that Wicca has emerged as part of a new religious movement that reflects the era in which it developed. Imported to the United States in the later 1960s from the United Kingdom, the religion absorbed into its basic fabric the social concerns of the time: feminism, environmentalism, self-development, alternative spirituality, and mistrust of authority. Helen A. Berger's ten-year participant observation study of Neo-Pagans and Witches on the eastern seaboard of the United States and her collaboration on a national survey of Neo-Pagans form the basis for exploring the practices, structures, and transformation of this nascent religion. Responding to scholars who suggest that Neo-Paganism is merely a pseudo religion or a cultural movement because it lacks central authority and clear boundaries, Berger contends that Neo-Paganism has many of the characteristics that one would expect of a religion born in late modernity: the appropriation of rituals from other cultures, a view of the universe as a cosmic whole, an emphasis on creating and re-creating the self, an intertwining of the personal and the political, and a certain playfulness. Aided by the Internet, self-published journals, and festivals and other gatherings, today's Neo-Pagans communicate with one another about social issues as well as ritual practices and magical rites. This community of interest—along with the aging of the original participants and the growing number of children born to Neo-Pagan families—is resulting in Neo-Paganism developing some of the marks of a mature and established religion.

We - Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers - are healers and thus naturally drawn to the healing Arts and Sciences, whether conventional or alternative. I consider Reiki a gentle unobtrusive part, expression or practice of Magic safely used in a new world where the old Pagan ways are frowned at and the practice of Witchcraft could attract dangerous and life-threatening antagonism if unwittingly done openly. Reiki for Witches - A Multi-Purpose Holistic Tool For Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers by Dr. Isis Day, is an expository thesis which discusses Reiki as an alternative type of healing practice, and looks at its significance within the context of Metaphysics, Pagan and New Age practices. It examines the key techniques associated with this Energy healing process which allows Reiki Practitioners to help themselves and others, thus healing the Inner Person through the use of the Universal Life Force or Magic.

Great! Someone has finally had the courage to put Joan of Arc where she belongs, to re-unite her with her true brothers and sisters -- Witches, Pagans and New-Agers. Joan Of Arc - A Role Model For Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers, is a thesis on How To Spiritually Achieve Whatever Your Mind Can Conceive, with the legendary Joan of Arc as a model of possibility worthy of emulation by all who wish to follow a Spiritual, Pagan or New-Age approach to life, thus manifesting complete prosperity and success in their lives, because you deserve a successful life and a happy ending materially, socially, career-wise and holistically. Everybody can find a place in Joan of Arc's world, especially Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers. Joan of Arc was condemned and burned at the stake as a Witch despite her open denouncement of such an accusation. But, was she truly a Witch or just a religiously pious teenager? She saved her French people from the English in a manner that is beyond any human expectation. She was super-clairaudient and clairvoyant - she raised the dead and predicted verifiable events accurately - was she psychic or simply favored by the gods?

Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution. Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed? Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions. With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.

Finally, a book about Witches, Pagans, Magic and Witchcraft you can gladly recommend or give to inquiring folks as a gift. ATTENTION !!! - A few lines, paragraphs or pages in this book may be somewhat strong or explicit, therefore Parental Guidance (PG) is suggested. "I'm tempted to say this is the best book by Dr. Isis Day - but not really, because each one of her books has something special and unique about it. However, I'd say that if you've not read any of her books before, this would be the best and first one to start with, then you can go read the others. 'I Am A Witch - I Choose Paganism,' is a very wonderful book worth reading over and over by both Pagans and non-Pagans, whether you're a Witch or not." --- Marie Guillaumes (Editor). "This book -- 'I Am A Witch - I Choose Paganism,' by Dr. Isis Day -- is the long-awaited book that sheds extra light on Paganism and Witchcraft. Every Pagan and every true student of occult wisdom should read this book asap, and everyone sincerely inquiring about Pagans, Witches, Magic and Witchcraft should also read it right away, and share it with friends too, and let the truth speak for itself. Blessed be!" --- The Illuminatista. Adapted from the book -- 'I Am A Witch - I Choose Paganism,' by Dr. Isis Day - Merry meet! Yep, the Witch is back, with more oomph to keep you witchy and pagan, while helping inquirers and seekers know a few things about us... People have formed all sorts of ill notions about Witches, Witchcraft, Magic and Pagans, and act on such preconceptions accordingly. So-called experts claim to know everything about Witches, when all they have is the backwater, storybook, movie, flea-market and superstitious distortions of the true definition of Witches and Pagans. But then, again, Witches, true and real Witches, are everywhere, in plain sight, yet invisible to the un-initiated... and with Paganism considered one of the fastest growing religions of today, the number will surely be forever on the increase. Hooray! People are finally seeing the light! Misinforming the public about Witches and Pagans has since been a strong, silent and invisible fist that some religions and individuals have used successfully to control, push out and pull in who they want, when and where and how they want it. Promise to protect people from Witches and they'll be yours to keep and sway as you please forever. A lot of the materials out there on Pagans and Witches are put out by non-Pagans who for the most part are anti-Pagans. So inquirers are actually more exposed to the wrong information -- data that has been primarily designed to malign Pagans, Witches, Wizards, Magic and Witchcraft - data whose ultimate purpose is to paint Pagans evil. Once in a while people ask me questions about Witches, Pagans, Magic and Witchcraft, and this book is very much in response to such questions.
