Pagan Rituals III is the long-awaited sequel to The Book of Pagan Rituals (containing Pagan Rituals I and II). These papers (never before published) are the actual training material of a Northeastern Coven. With chapters on the various branches of Wica, Magickal Tools, Symbols, Alphabets, as well as Craft History, Part I is a complete introduction to the Ancient Religion. Also included are answers to the ten questions most frequently asked by cowans (non witches).
Part 2 includes the Outer Court Book of Shadows. Here are given elementary Rites, Seasonal Rites, Initiation Ceremonies, Consecration and Blessing Rituals, as well as instruction in Circle conduct. Also chapters on Candle Magick, Astral Projection and Coven Laws. Finally a comprehensive recommended reading list of instructional material in Wica, Paganism and Mythology.
This ground-breaking work has been edited and introduced by Wican High Priest, Herman Slater. A colorful figure, Herman, owner and founder of The Magickal Childe (formerly the Warlock Shop) is one of the originators of the modern Pagan Movement. Initiated in 1974, he was editor and publisher of Earth Religion News for many years, and founded The Earthstar Temple, Author of The Book of Pagan Rituals, The Magickal Formulary I and The Magickal Formulary II, Herman is loved by many, hated by some, but known by all. His forthright no-punches-pulled Introduction gives ample evidence for the derivation of his Craft nickname, "Horrible Herman".
This quality paperback has been printed on acid-free, non-yellowing paper. Its smythe-sewn binding will allow it to be laid flat on the Altar top. The type has been specially designed to be read by candle-light.
