They have formed an exclusive partnership with

Janet
Farrar and Gavin Bone are considered the
world's leading experts on the subject of Modern Witchcraft
and the Neo-Pagan movement. They regularly present
lectures and workshops throughout the United States,
Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Progressive Witchcraft is their most radical work
to date. It is nothing less than their detailed analysis
of the way Witchcraft has evolved into the worldwide
religion that it is today…and their vision of
its future.

Progressive Witchcraft
does not create or endorse a specific Witchcraft tradition,
but rather identifies a system that is at the root
of all of the existing paths within Witchcraft. Farrar
and Bone show that Wicca is a modern, non-dogmatic
dynamic tradition still in a state of evolution-a
Priesthood based on connection with the Divine and
service to humanity.
Their book details how many magical
practices of Witchcraft actually work, giving both
practical exercises and advice. Janet and Gavin explain:
- What Progressive Witchcraft is,
including its tenets.
- Why Witchcraft is connected to
the ancient Mysteries of our forefathers, and how
elements can be found in both Shamanism and in Ritual
Magic.
- Why Witchcraft is a Priesthood.
- Why 'Sorcery' is the traditional
magical practice of Witchcraft, and how all ritual
relates to the body's energy system (auras and chakras).
- What a Spiritual Cosmology is and
how it can be used to access the
- Mysteries by traveling between
the worlds.
- What the different spiritual and
astral Guides and Guardians are and how to find
them.
And they give their own
unique, modern perspective on:
- How to connect with the Gods and
Goddesses of our ancestors.
- How Drawing Down the Moon works,
and how to use other forms of deity assumption in
ritual.
- How to create and use an Astral
Temple.
- The many different ways a coven
can function successfully, including the skills
a good coven leader needs.
- How to successfully find and approach
a coven or Wiccan teacher for training.
- How to train as a Witch-including
a ritual training book that teaches how ritual energy
works.
