Address a lingering anxiety by laying down a 10-card Celtic Cross. Buying a house? About to undergo surgery? Confused by a flighty love interest?

Shadow work is the act of facing the darkest part of our psyche to unlock our full potential and discover true self-love.

This powerful technique has helped countless patients achieve what traditional therapy could not. Danielle Massi is a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in this practice, and she is the perfect guide for diving deep into the unconscious.
Diagnosed with cervical cancer before her thirtieth birthday, Massi resolved to study the effects of the mind on the body. With the knowledge that chronic stress is a leading cause of disease, she focused on developing techniques to help her patients access their unconscious—the part of our mind that is the body’s mechanism for repressing information that is possibly too intense for the psyche. When unchecked, this shadow side of our consciousness builds up over time and can create a domino effect of consequences in our physical body. When we work with the shadow, we free ourselves from a recurring trauma response and can rewire the brain for mind and body health, ease, and abundance.
Massi’s in-depth instruction provides a framework for breaking down the root causes of trauma and learning how to prevent self-sabotage. With an engaging, inviting, and authoritative voice, she provides an essential guide to recreating life on your terms.

A guide for connecting with the earth, your ancestors, and your communities as you come home to your whole self.

Despite our best efforts, our modern world leaves so many of us feeling isolated, unworthy, and alone. We’re unrooted from the land, untethered from our lineages, disconnected from our communities, and separated from our deepest sense of self.

In Root and Ritual, Becca Piastrelli offers a pathway back to connection and wholeness through rituals, recipes, and ancestral wisdom. “Though we live in a radically different-looking world, the needs of our bodies and spirits are the same as the ancestors we came from.”

Divided into four parts - Land, Lineage, Community, and Self - this guide takes you on a journey for engaging more deeply with your life:

• Part one introduces practices for reconnecting with the land, including seasonal recipes, crafting with plants, and tending your home
• In part two, you’ll learn to reclaim the gifts of your lineage as you understand past harms and explore the traditional folklore, foods, and arts of those who came before
• Part three centers around community, helping you cultivate sisterhood and celebrate meaningful rites of passage
• In part four, you’ll return to yourself as you open your intuition, tune in to your body, and awaken the wild woman within

A rich and dynamic treasure chest of timeless teachings, Root and Ritual is a beautiful guide for knowing who you are - and that you belong here.

Reclaim witchcraft, putting it into the hands of those who need it most: queer and marginalized people and their fiercest allies.

Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we face in the world at large--a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society's binaries and boundaries. While there are books that address magick for resistance and queer myth, until now there has not been one that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint.

Queering the Craft combines queer aesthetic and culture (like DIY culture and an emphasis on chosen family over formal covens) with pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace but has not been written about until now. This book covers the personal, the collective, and the political, and how deeply intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are LGBTQ+.

In this introduction to witchcraft, Snow presents why/how each concept is important to a queer craft, or how to approach it from a queer mindset. For example, conventional prayer, words, and symbols have always been problematic in a queer universe: How to make them work and still be true to yourself? The bulk of the book is about learning the craft. The latter portion is a grimoire of spells.

While accessible to beginning witches, Queering the Craft provides new and inspiring information for longtime practitioners interested in a pure and personal approach that avoids the baggage of history and stereotype.

Young witches-in-training will discover spells to resolve problems, foster friendship, and engage with the natural world.

This spellbinding book guides readers on how to craft a magic wand, befriend a fairy, and read tea leaves, as well as glossaries of magical terms and symbols.

When it was first published nearly 40-years-ago, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom was an instant classic and inspired generations of tarot students. Often referred to as the "bible of tarot books" it has now helped to launch the "tarot renaissance" we're seeing today. Drawing on mythology and esoteric traditions and delving deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card, the book offers a modern psychological interpretation of the tarot archetypes rather than a system of esoteric symbolism.
