MAGICAL RITES FROM THE CRYSTAL WELL
by Fitch, Ed
ISBN: 0875422306
Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd
In nature, and in the Earth, we look and find beauty. Within ourselves we find a well from which we may draw truth and knowledge. And when we draw from this well, we rediscover that we are all children of the Earth. The simple rites in this book are presented to you as a means of finding your own way back to nature: for discovering and experiencing the beauty and the magic of unity with the source. These are the celebrations of the seasons: at the same time they are rites by which we attune ourselves to the flow of the force -- the energy of life. These are rites of passage by which we celebrate the major transitions we all experience in life. Here are the Old Ways, but they are also the 'Ways for Today. For anyone needing Pagan ritual guidelines, or seeking the aspect of Paganism right for them, Magical Rites From the Crystal Well should serve as the ideal introduction and sampler. Ed Fitch's Seasonal Rites, with their supplementary rituals, guided meditations and magical workings, speak of the true contact with, and reverence for, Nature equated with the Pagan philosophy. This is a classic primer that I hope will continue to be available for many more years to come.
