Wizardology

Aspiring wizards can tune in to the age-old wisdom of Merlin with this dazzling compendium of all things magical, unveiling novelty elements throughout. For any apprentice determined to learn the arcane arts of wizardry, could there be a better teacher than . . . Merlin himself? Originally discovered in 1588, this remarkable text by history's most respected wizard is revealed to the world for the very first time. Lavishly illustrated by four delicate artists, Wizardology's intricate design even conceals a series of hidden symbols that spell out a secret message when their code is deciphered — if the reader is clever enough to find them. Among Wizardology's special features are: — a glittering crystal ball-like jewel on the front cover — a world map showing locations of wizards around the globe — tactile samples of a "fairy flag" with one wish remaining and a phoenix feather to aid in flying charms — booklets explaining the proper use of spells, familiars, and potions — a removable dragon pendant allowing the user to dowse for mythical beasts — a pack of eight removable fortune-tellling cards — a 48-page mini book of divination on the final spread

'If you are unshakable in your desire to learn Wizardology, then in the absence of a wizard of flesh and blood, this book will offer you the assistance and encouragement you would receive in my hands if I were standing before you as your master!' -Merlin, 1577. This magnificent book includes superb illustrations, maps and diagrams, booklets of spell casting, fortune telling cards and a guide to spell ingredients plus a hidden 48 page miniature divination book.

Wicca is America’s fastest growing religion. By the year 2012, it’s projected to be the third largest religion in the United States. In Generation Hex, Marla Alupoaicei and Dillon Burroughs explore the history, culture, and practices of Wicca. As part of their research, they interviewed travelers to historic Salem, Massachusetts, consulted practitioners of leading neopagan conferences in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, and dialogued with several current and former adherents of Wicca and other forms of witchcraft to evaluate the past and present of this growing spiritual tradition. The result is a compelling account that will inform and equip Christians (especially parents) to understand Wiccan and New Age teachings. Readers will have confidence to explain this belief system to others and to communicate the gospel to those caught up in this practice. Generation Hex identifies with the spiritual hunger of a generation seeking truth, authenticity, and hope in a fragmented world. It’s perfect for personal study or as a gift for anyone interested or involved in Wicca.
