A Wiccan Bible: Exploring the Mysteries of the Craft from Birth to Summerland

A. J. Drew9781564146663, 1564146669

If you have ever wondered if there is more to religion than ancient rituals, then this book is for you. If you have already come to the realization that Wicca is the religion for you, then this book will help fill in those many blanks that have been left by other books. Making no attempt to dictate religious dogma or routine, the author illustrates the many issues a person’s religion should address and shows how he has found answers to those issues through the practice of a modern religion, which has, in part, been structured on some of the oldest principles of the ancient world. He examines the four stages of life from this perspective. o Maiden and Master – Birth, Wiccaning, and Self-Dedication. o Mother and Father – Initiation, Mating Customs, and Pregnancy. o Crone and Sage – Grandchildren, Suicide, and Death. o Middle Ground – Reincarnation, Summerland, and Winterland.
