Witchcraft resources galore

Everything below are things I’ve read, enjoyed, and have influenced my practice in some way. Enjoy! :D I’ve also include some comments about most of them

BOOKS

Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson: written in the 1970s, Paul Hudson is a huge influence to many traditional witches

Authentic Witchcraft by Grayson Magnus: great, non religious, traditional witchcraft book. Definitely not not neowiccan. The author has many opinions about neowicca. They don’t pop up much, but heads up

The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies by The Reverend Robert Kirk: fab fab fab- I would suggest getting a modern translation of the book. It doe suffer from the misogyny of the time, then again it was written in the 17th century

Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches by Charles Godfrey Leland: should be taken as a fictional source, but really nice read

The Witch-Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray: Controversial book for a good reason. Margaret’s theories have long been discredited, but her information and sources are lovely and worth the read

Ancient legends mystic charms and superstitions of Ireland by Lady Wilde: My favorite book! Great look into Irish witchcraft and the practice of the fairy doctors. Heads up, certain spells and charms use poisonous ingredients without stating as such. Do research before trying any of the charms and spells 

Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall by William Bottrell: Cornwall is known for their witchcraft for a reason, enough said

Judika Illes’ books: Great great great~ Lots of info, various stuff, awesome spell books

Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America by Margot Adler: Not necessarily witchcraft, but it talks about witchcraft and its relation with wicca, and why the two differ 

Pagan Portals - Fairy Witchcraft: A Neopagan’s Guide to the Celtic Fairy Faith  by Morgan Daimler: a bit general and more neopaganism (hence the title), but worth the read, especially if fairies are part of your practice

Pennsylvania German witchcraft by Ann Frizz: Some nice, non-european focused witchcraft

Grimoire of Arts Bryan Lovering: HUGE, lots of things, though some of them a bit questionable? Worth the read

Master book of candle burning Henry Gamache: Great non-wiccan influenced candle magic, though the author is anti-pagan

The Devil’s Dozen Thirteen Craft Rites of The Old One by Gemma Gary: A fantastic book full of Cornish inspired rituals. A+ book of rituals

Apocalyptic Witchcraft by Peter Grey: Fantastic. It talks about the nature and reasons behind witchcraft, and does not show any fear in this.

Wisht WatersAqueous Magica and the Cult of Holy Wells by Gemma Gary: Good stuff. All about the Sacred well cult, and has some amazing things about witches and sacred water 

Call of the Horned Piper by  Nigel Jackson: Lots of information and lore in traditional witchcraft. Great information on the Fairy Queen and the Witch Father

The Book of Grimoires: The Secret Grammar of Magic by Claude Lecouteux: Lots of magical talk. Not all witchcraft, but a great book

Treading the Mill: Practical Craft Working in Modern Traditional Witchcraft by Nigel G. Pearson: Another book talking about hedge riding and otherworld stuff

A Deed without a Name by Lee Morgan: A book that covers a large amount of topics in traditional witchcraft. A rather good for both those starting traditional witchcraft and those that have been practicing for a while.

The Key of Solomon The King and  The Lesser Key of Solomon

 Flame in the Cauldron by Orion Foxwood: Some good stuff! Covers a lot of topics and even talks about the witchfire. 

Old Tradition Crafte - (translated by) Robin Artisan: Lots of really neat stuff from old grimoires and witch journals 

The Sorceress by Jules Michelet: It talks a LOT about the witches’ sabbat. Lots of neat info and a pretty read

WEBSITES, LINKS, VARIOUS ONLINE ARTICLES AND BLOGS

Sacred-texts: A HUGE library of books and resources on a wide amount of different subjects.

Cornish Witchcraft: I want to own all the books on this site. A great resource about Cornwall and its witchcraft practices.

Traditional Cornish Witchcraft: The site is a bit ugly, but it has some really neat pages

The following games include suspense, flashing pictures and ominous music. Not recommended for those with severe anxiety. 

Do you have a grudge?: based on the Grudge movie. You basically walk around the house and get to explore it, click on certain parts and you’ll see flickering shadows and long dark hair. 

Purgatorium:  a short and creepy point-and-click escape-the-room game with some rather horrific graphic visuals nestled inside. If you are having problems going through the game just google “Purgatorium walk throughs” and that should help. 

Exmortis: graphic images, flashing pictures, begins with you waking up in the woods with a lump on your head and unable to recall how you got there. All you recall are the dreams. You’ll see a house up ahead and decide that shelter there is better than freezing to death in the woods. Think of the house at the end of Blair Witch and you’ll be right at home.

Hero’s Adventures: If you wanna take a break from the serious horror themes of the above games, here’s a cute little game made pokemon style. Mild horror themes, no graphics, short little game.

Slenderman game: Everyone was going crazy over this game back in the days. It is a short, experimental horror game in which you must travel into a dark woods at night, with a simple goal: find 8 pages that are scattered across the woods. There’s just one catch, he might get ya if your not careful. You must download this game to your computer (no charge)

Ao Oni: Japanese survival horror game. Although each version differs heavily from the others, the objective is always the same. Locked in a mansion, you explore and solve puzzles while running from an enigmatic demon. You must download this game.

Zombie games: This site has a bunch of games where you have to shoot zombies before they get to you. Each game has it’s own story. No terrible graphics. Suitable for kids. Think of it as a break from all the other heavy creepy ones. 

Red Asylum: Another interactive haunted house game, where you must try to find your way out

Deep Sleep: You are stuck inside a nightmare dream. Something lurks in the darkness. Something in the depths of your own mind wants to pull you even deeper. Someone will escape this dream for sure. The question is - who is that going to be? Pretty sweet game. If you are stuck here are some walkthroughs

SCP- Containment Breach: puts you in a ‘containment facility’, which is holding a strange and unnerving entity called SCP-173, a sculpture monster that can only move when not in direct line of sight. When unseen, it is extremely hostile and dangerous. You can watch a trailer of it here to get a good idea of the game. You must also download this game to your computer. 

Alright that’s all the good online games I could find so far! Hope you guys all enjoy!

LOOK AT THESE

done by the amazing Christopher Shy of Studio Ronin

[witchcraftings]

You are a witch. You warp the very energy that makes up the universe. You dig chunks of sharp crystal from the earth with bare hands and wear them as trinkets. You rip herbs from the dirt and use them to spice the air. You collect glass and bones and storm water and daggers.

Maybe you’re a different sort of witch. Maybe you write music like a siren’s song, sung to the stars, manipulating them until they shine the way you wish. Maybe you delve deep into code and weave quiet, meticulous charms into the very bones of the cyber world, feeling the flow of waves and wifi like others do the wind and the ways of the cosmos. Maybe you collect eldritch creatures, spirits, fae, and deities like others do stamps, frightened because you’re smart, unceasing because you’re brave, and know you’re much scarier than anything you welcome over your threshold.

Maybe you slip blessings into food. Maybe you slip curses under doorsteps. Maybe you draw symbols on your arms. Maybe you write incantations to be heard only by crickets, wicked, whispered nocturnes.

Whatever you do, however you do it, you are a witch. You are a warrior by default. Your strength is as innate to you as breathing. The only thing you must fear is what will happen when someone pushes you too far.

Tumblr Pagan Gothic

Someone posted a ritual. You don’t know the steps to the ritual, or which god it is devoted to, maybe none, maybe all of them. You perform it anyways, and you feel as if something is watching you. It is hungry.

Witchcraft is not a religion. Witchcraft is a practice. Witchcraft is the finger down your spine. Witchcraft is the voice of the thunder. Witchcraft is a thousand eldritch tongues all screaming in unison.

“Which deity is associated with ____?” someone asks. You don’t know. None of your friends know. What is a _____?

You try to find a label that suits your practice. Everyone has a label. Everyone who matters has a label. You need a label. Your practice will cease to exist without a label. Perhaps you will cease to exist without a label. You don’t want to find out if that is true.

Your Pagan music collection consists of a lone woman wailing. You are certain it is the same woman in every track. She is always wailing. Why is she wailing?

You buy a deck of tarot cards. You work well with them. The pictures are very pretty. Sometimes you can see the characters move out of the corner of your eye.

You set up an altar. Now you have two altars. You don’t remember setting up another altar. Now there are five. You can’t remember which altar was dedicated to which deity. Now there are seven altars. This altar has blood on it. You do not believe in blood offerings. The altar does not care.

Someone asks about Wicca. Someone is always asking about Wicca. Wicca is everywhere. Wicca is everything. You cannot escape.

“Ninety percent of Heathen books are crap!” You scream. No one listens. They never listen. 

Someone has posted a picture in the Pagan tag. There is no artist listed. It is a picture of a tree. No, it is a picture of the void. You think you can see something staring back at you. 

Every book on Paganism in the bookstore is a Llewellyn book. Every book on Paganism in the library is a Llewellyn book. Every book on your bookshelf is a Llewellyn book. You do not remember purchasing so many Llewellyn books. You do not remember purchasing any Llewellyn books. 

You do a meditation to find your fylgjur. You do not recognize what animal it is, it has eyes where eyes should not be. It is a part of your soul. A part of you knew this all along.

The complete 72 Demons of Solomon and their seals

[hermeticlibrary]

[portionsofeternity]

We waiver on the cusp, the crossroads, Upon the threshold of the Wanderer. We may never go back. Only forwards. Ever onwards, march ‘The Unforgiven.’ Those exiled, seek refuge in the Word. Their beacon is the Mound. A sacred Gathering of kith and kin. Here they espouse an estranged unity. Here they brook no dissonance within the ‘Thing.’ A vague anamnesis. A fugue of passion.
