The Pagan or Witch Elder is a leader who has lead by example, and teaches their wisdom to those that will listen, they have cleared the path for those to follow. We must remember and know who these Spiritual and Magical Warriors were and are, some who are still fighting in the world for our acceptance and understanding. This book is filled with hundreds of Elders (some known and some not well known) who stood tall and fought the establishment with compassion and strength, endurance and wisdom, courage, and determination, to share an ancient knowledge that has been awakened by them in the 21st century. I write this book so that our Pagan community remembers and knows who these brave Spiritual Earth Warriors were and are, and what they have given, sacrificed, and shared for the future of our world. This book is to honour all our Elders, so they are never forgotten and always honoured. MERRY WE MEET, MERRY WE PART, AND MERRY WE MEET AGAIN!

As a leading and respected Elder in the world of Wicca and Witchcraft, also as a teacher for over 50 years, I have assembled for the 21st century Solitary Wiccan or Witch all the training given to the Seeker prior to Initiation into a Traditional Coven or Clan. This book is all that is the required of a Witchling. The Craft is not just about Spells or Magic as this is taught later, it is about Nature, listening and learning from the spirits of Nature, spirituality of the Divine Feminine and becoming one with the magic and mystery within our world and beyond. This book covers every topic needed to understand the full extent of what is within the world of the magic of Wicca in theory and practice. Since the birth of the internet in the 80s, less and less working covens remain to teach our Seekers the deeper insight and wisdom. This book will teach the Seeker how to climb the spiritual ladder of Wicca and find their own magic and Truth.

“Wicchecraft the Way, the Powers that be, for the young and the old, the bold and the free. The Path is to know, the Path is to see, the way of the Ancients, as it used to be. All be Earth’s children of Sun and of Moon, down through the ages we’ve danced to the tune. The flow of all life through Goddess and God, none shall forsake thee, the Sword, and the Rod. Holy the Star that is worshipped in Truth, Morgaine, and Merlin forever in Youth. All is the Horned One, Fertility Rite, and Blessed Be Diana, in Love and in Light. Candles and Incense and Tools of the Trade, for Magus and Wicche Queen all debts shall be paid. Praise are the Elements Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, Celebrations and Sabbats, you will find us there. Blessed be the Power, and Bind ye the Cord, Blessed is the Union, and Love the reward. The Wicches song of the Ages echoes again, Blessed is the knowledge, long may it reign. The Path of the Wicche, the Path of the Wise, in Power and Glory, all Truth shall rise. We stand United, through Ages long past, the Truth that is Wicchecraft, forever shall it last. Gathered together those of the Kin, in freedom and Love beyond any sin. Merry Meet, Merry Part, tis Union for all, Blessed the Fellowship that answers Her Call!” Tamara Von Forslun 1978

This is the only book of its kind on witchcraft that has been written by a practising witch. It is intended to be not merely a history, but a guide to the many strange byways of a vast and fascinating subject. Witchcraft is as old as the human race, and it is actively practised today, by people of all classes. To its devotees, witchcraft is more than spells and charms, or even secret meetings and rituals; it is a philosophy and a way of life. It claims to be the oldest form of religion, that of nature-worship and magic. Since the last Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951, the revival of public interest in witchcraft has been the subject of continuous controversy. This book is a serious contribution to the study of a subject too long obscured by prejudice and sensationalism.

Many Christians want to witness for their faith, but they are afraid they will not be able to answer questions that others may ask of them. First Peter 3:15 reminds believers to always be prepared to "make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." Norman Geisler and Chad Meister realize the fear of facing questions about the Christian faith. Their book Reasons for Faith gives believers grounded biblical apologetics to help them defend their faith. By covering the importance of apologetics and then applying apologetics to popular culture and theological issues, these authors give all Christians the tools they need to stand firm in their faith and to be able to share that faith in today's society.
