Entertaining  Enchantments

Love potions -- shake well and don't tell!

In this humorous look at love, the Witches of Salem, Massachusetts and friends share their favorite spells, incantations, aphrodisiacs and love potion recipes, some dating back to the fifteenth century. This is more than simply a book of spells: you’ll discover what magic is and how it can help you make friends, make love, even make yourself more attractive. You’ll learn about ancient occult beliefs and find out how magic fits into the modern world.  

·         Finding the perfect lover

·         Madame du Barry’s favorite aphrodisiac

Sometimes it’s just toil and trouble all damn day long.

So you think Wicca is all magic and mysticism? Hey -- if only. Witch wars, job discrimination, unprincipled “Elders” running teaching or initiation rackets, people treating your religion as a joke, your family on your butt because you don’t want to have your kid baptized, and more-pagan-than-thou types insisting that you can’t be a real Witch unless you’ve been initiated into a coven or born into a “Witch family.”

This informative, earthy -- and frankly dishy -- book delivers the inside scoop from a longtime Wiccan priestess, and examines what most of us know, but would never admit. McLelland says that modern Wicca badly needs a wake-up call before we can expect our religion to be taken seriously, and that the most damage to Wicca is often done by Wiccans themselves.

·         What your Mama didn’t tell you about Wicca

·         The fallacy of the “Burning Times”

·         Professional Witches: Becoming the media’s bitch

·         Beginnings: When Gerry met Crowley

·         The “victim mentality” and a harrowing case history

·         Witch wars, scams and other nasty habits

·         The Craft as opposed to The Religion

You’ll also learn the Fifteen Things Everybody Knows But You; the true nature of Mysteries, a guide to effective Wiccan activism and stories about the heroes on the front lines; the myth of today's “Salem Witchcraft”; how Witches perpetuate the same stereotypes they profess to despise; and the only true thing that really matters in Wicca, without which all else is useless. Definitely not for the politically-correct.
