Ann Moura, the author of the popular Green Witchcraft series, is back with a new, one-of-a-kind spellbook on lunar magic. This is the only guidebook available that uses Mansions of the Moon correspondences to empower Esbat rituals and spellwork. The moon goes through twenty-eight distinct "mansions," or sections of the sky, as it travels through the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each mansion is appropriate for certain types of magic, as described in ceremonial magic books, such as Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Barrett's The Magus. Now this esoteric information is available to Witches, complete with suggested workings for both the waxing and the waning lunar phase in each mansion. Moura provides the tools, the instruction, and examples of how to utilize the Mansions of the Moon to add depth and potency to your spells and rituals. More than one hundred workings are presented, including candle spells, charm bags, meditations, magical oils, talismans, amulets, incense, teas, and much more.

When the Spanish arrived in Peru in 1532, men of the Inca Umpire worshipped the Sun as Father and their dead kings as ancestor heroes, while women venerated the Moon and her daughters, the Inca queens, as founders of female dynasties. In the pre-Inca period such notions of parallel descent were expressions of complementarity between men and women. Examining the interplay between gender ideologies and political hierarchy, Irene Silverblatt shows how Inca rulers used their Sun and Moon traditions as methods of controlling women and the Andean peoples the Incas conquered. She then explores the process by which the Spaniards employed European male and female imageries to establish their own rule in Peru and to make new inroads on the power of native women, particularly poor peasant women. Harassed economically and abused sexually, Andean women fought back, earning in the process the Spaniards' condemnation as "witches." Fresh from the European witch hunts that damned women for susceptibility to heresy and diabolic influence, Spanish clerics were predisposed to charge politically disruptive poor women with witchcraft. Silverblatt shows that these very accusations provided women with an ideology of rebellion and a method for defending their culture.

A delightful story (well, some pages are delightful; some, not so much) about the jealousy between two witches concerning the right to be the Moon Witch--a most appreciated and coveted position. The Moon Witch flies against the Moon at darkness and flies the moon for twenty-four hours on All Hallows' Eve. Every year, a worldwide convention is held at a castle in the Ural Mountains from two days before the summer solstice and two days after. And every year, a flying competition is held to determine the Moon Witch. Every year, the witch Jacquelynn wins. Jacquelynn can let it go, but her rival Carmen can't accept the reality that she will never be the Moon Witch. Jacquelynn knows that jealousy is a toxic emotion, and if not confronted, it becomes increasingly irrational and dangerous. However, this year, a novice witch from Detroit, named Tara flies a very close second to Jacquelynn. Carmen befriends Tara for a final confrontation with Jacquelynn that you have to read to believe. The Moon Witch has the usual suspects: spirits, trolls, hobgoblins, ghouls, a cameo by Dracula, a brief appearance by a werewolf, a sinister wizard, a phantom army, and magic and black magic. Magic--the word inspires curiosity, the unknown, and fear of what we do not understand. Magic and the occult attempt to manipulate your mind and senses--beware! Stories are inspired by a person, even an artifact or nature. The inspiration for the Moon Witch was a simple Halloween decoration. All Hallows' Eve is my wife's favorite holiday. She decorates inside and out--jack-o'-lanterns, witches, skeletons, graveyard, cats, rats, bats. She dresses as a witch. She makes witch's stew for the neighbors. Trick-or-treaters are given a six-ounce can of soda and a candy treat. One of her inside decorations, hanging on the wall in the living room, is a twenty-inch flat orange moon with a black silhouetted flying witch. After viewing the decoration numerous evenings, I started to think, Not all witches can be flying the moon. So I thought, Who is she? Obviously, the days before All Hallows' Eve is the best time to read and enjoy The Moon Witch. However, to curl up on a couch with your blankie, The Moon Witch, and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate while it is snowing is very acceptable.

The earth, the moon, and the magical path to enlightenment. Written by a practicing witch who conducts classes and seminars on witchcraft—the oldest Western religion, a means of power and enlightenment, and a healing art. “Laurie Cabot has written a fascinating account of a beautiful and sadly misunderstood religion, witchcraft. She has with her life and work done a great deal to legitimize this ancient pagan form of worship. I am among the ecumenical Christians who have discovered the truth about witchcraft, that it is neither demonic nor evil. Power of the Witch is a marvelous introduction to the magical and highly ethical world of wicca.”—Whitley Strieber
