Raymond Buckland has spent nearly half a century investigating various aspects of the occult, and for more than a quarter of a century has been active in Wicca. He was instrumental in introducing the Gardnerian branch of Wicca to the United States in the early 1960s. Ray's contact with the late Aidan Breac, a descendent of the Picts, led to his interest in Scottish Witchcraft and to writing this book. FINALLY, THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SCOTTISH TRADITION OF THE CRAFT From the ancient misty Highlands of Scotland to modern-day America come the secrets of solitary Witchcraft practice. Scottish Witchcraft explores "PectiWita," or the craft of the Picts, the mysterious early Keltic people. The Scottish PectiWita tradition differs in many ways from the Wicca of England: there is little emphasis on the worship of the gods (though it is there), but more on the living and blending of magick into everyday life. Many people attracted to modern-day Wicca are unable to contact or join a coven. PectiWita is a path for the solitary Witch; and here, for the first time, are full details of this solitary branch of the Old Ways. Learn the history of the Picts, their origins and beliefs. Learn how to make simple tools and use them to work magic. Explore their celebrations, talismans, song and dance, herbal lore, runes and glyphs, and recipes. Join Ray Buckland as he breaks new ground in modern-day Witchcraft and gives you simple step-by-step instructions to bring you in touch, and then into complete harmony, with all of nature.
