Connect with Your Past to Create Your Own Personal Book of Shadows. Most of us know the people who gave us life and even a generation or two beyond. But few are attuned to those who lived earlier.

This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins. This book is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It will show readers how to access their ancestor’s unique wisdom―their...>>

“Hearth and Home Witchcraft: Rituals and Recipes to Nourish Home and Spirit” by Jennie Blonde

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Blending storytelling, witchcraft, and warm advice, Jennie Blonde (the @comfycozywitch) offers recipes, rituals, and spell work, to nourish yourself and your family. For author Jennie Blonde, witchcraft is, in and of itself, comforting. Sure, there are not-so-comfortable parts as well—working with the shadow, coming face to face with that which holds you back. Jennie’s witchcraft is about connecting with the magic of nature, your higher self, and something beyond—a deity, deities, Spirit, the universe—and being comfortable with your true self in all aspects of your life. “In times of anxiety,” Jennie writes, “I turn to my practice. When I need a moment of calm and reflection, I retreat to my sacred space for quiet meditation,...>>

“The Twenty Days of Turin: A Novel” by Giorgio De Maria

"In the spare wing of a church-run sanatorium, some zealous youths create "the Library," a space where lonely citizens can read one another’s personal diaries and connect with like-minded souls in "dialogues across the ether." But when their scribblings devolve into the ugliest confessions of the macabre, the Library’s users learn too late that a malicious force has consumed their privacy and their sanity. As the city of Turin suffers a twenty-day "phenomenon of collective psychosis" culminating in nightly massacres that hundreds of witnesses cannot explain, the Library is shut down and erased from history. That is, until a lonely salaryman decides to investigate these mysterious events, which the citizenry of Turin fear to...>>

“The Transgressionists and Other Disquieting Works: Five Tales of Weird Fiction” by Giorgio De Maria

"Before an untimely mental breakdown cut short his two-decade career, Giorgio De Maria distinguished himself as one of Italy's most unique and eccentric weird fiction masters. With a background in the post-war literary culture of Turin — Italy's urbane but eerie "city of black magic" — De Maria drew inspiration from the Turinese underbelly of occultism, secret societies and radical politics. His writing coincided with the decade of terrorist violence known to Italians as the Years of Lead; the outcome was a weird fiction suffused with panic, rage, trauma, paranoia and meditations on antisocial hubris. In 1978, he told an interviewer: "...I think that the dimension of the fantastic, as much as this may...>>

“A Magical Tour of the Night Sky: Use the Planets and Stars for Personal and Sacred Discovery” by Renna Shesso

"The sky was our original calendar, our original storybook, the first illustrated edition, the prototype GPS. Beyond its pragmatic usefulness, the sky was the domain of spirit, traversed by deities and a place to which human souls departed. Let's re-enchant it, shall we? Shamanic practitioner, priestess of the Craft, and author of Math for Mystics Renna Shesso invites readers along as she takes a pagan's look at the night sky. A Magical Tour of the Night Sky: Use the Planets and Stars for Personal and Sacred Discovery draws on astronomy, Tarot, shamanism, astrology, Wicca, lore, legend, and history to interpret the movement of the night sky and re-awaken our spirits.
