About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can see why this book has been so highly recommended in the community! Listening to it on audiobook made some parts a little difficult to follow but it's what I had to work with. This is on my hardcopy wish list as I can definitely see quite a few of the exercises, rituals, spells, and suggestions becoming foundations in my practice. I really appreciated the depth of history, mythology, and folklore without it feeling scholarly or elitist. The narrator reading it was spot on with pronunciation of various languages. I enjoyed listening to this version!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is great! A wonderful plethora of information on traditional witchcraft and the lore and history behind it and it's practices. I didn't care for the book being a little slanted towards a specific tradition but it didn't really hurt the information that is presented in the book. Solitary practitioners and practitioners of other traditions can still gain a lot from the information in this book. Highly recommend.
