Regional traditional witchcraft is an animistic form of witchcraft that moves away from the religious harvest festivals and fertility-minded practices associated with the more common Wiccan form of witchcraft. Very few of us in this age are farmers or dependent upon crops and harvests. Regional traditional witchcraft teaches people to find their craft in their own backyards, in the uncultivated land or urban cityscape alike, and in their ancestors rather than in ancient foreign deities or in a neopagan-styled religious form of witchcraft. It's not about where you're from but where you are.

The material is adaptable to any region in which the practitioner lives. Although the lack of deity worship and holy days is a significant part of the authors' nonreligious approach, this book presents a complete system of practice utilizing ritual, chant, trance, the six paths of witchcraft as defined and explained by the text, and the practices associated with traditional witchcraft.

A tradition of Witchcraft

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2019

Verified Purchase

The books title is slightly misleading, as this book is about a tradition of Witchcraft, but is not really, as far as I'm concerned, traditional witchcraft as I understand it. It even contains elements of Wicca within, not a bad thing in itself, just sadly not what I was expecting. I waited quite a while for this book, eagerly anticipating it, but it's come as a slight disappointment. That's not to say it's bad, by any stretch of the imagination, just not what I was expecting. On the plus side, it's a lot better than many craft books currently available, and as the guide of a fledgling tradition, it gives you much to get you going.

Essential reading.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2019

I had wanted to read this book since seeing it on Instagram. I had read good reviews on it, and I have to say that it exceeded expectations. The authors talk about other authors that have inspired them; like Gemma Gary and Robert Cochrane. These are authors that I very much respect, and I knew that this was not going to be another book that claimed to be about traditional witchcraft when it was actually about Wicca. The authors write about “the Devil in the Craft”, and they write about his role in traditional witchcraft so perfectly, that I wanted to recommend this book solely on that. BUT; keep reading and the book is eloquently written, with easy to follow rituals and practices, that are at the same time open to interpretation and adaptation. This book doesn’t claim to have all the answers or pretend that it is part of a religion that is thousands of years old (like some books on Wicca do). The authors are very down to earth and honest about their craft. I would say that to anyone who is interested in traditional witchcraft, this book is essential reading.

Creative and well referenced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2020

I enjoyed the fact that this book had something a little different to offer, and showed examples of how you can use your creativity to invent new ways of doing things. The focus on tailoring your craft to the area you live in, the land and the spirits within the landscape, was really refreshing. Every chapter made me wonder, how would I do this differently, how can I get to know my local area better, how can I embody the spontenaety of an intuitive witch?

Loved this book!

Reviewed in Canada on 6 June 2019

Not only was this book was really well written, but it went a little deeper than a lot of these mainstream light and fluffy books of this genre. I find it really difficult to find books on witchcraft that are not Wicca based, so this was very refreshing - Highly recommend! There were a few darker practices mentioned in this book that aren’t really for me; however, as with any book on the occult, you take what applies to you and your practice, and leave the rest. Loved this book!

An extraordinary book

Reviewed in Spain on 4 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I find it an extraordinary and very inspired work. I think that for obvious reasons it is useful for the American Crafters, but for us (Europeans) too, due to the call of attention to the bioregional powers.

Flexible, easy to read, it is recommended for all students.
