Review Received for Contemporary Witchcraft

It’s rare that a book on witchcraft thoroughly covers foundational philosophy, theory, and practical training in an east to understand, and well written way. @francesbillinghurst wrote this amazing gem ‘Contemporary Witchcraft, Foundational practices for a magical life’ and I’ve read and re-read this to absorb the valuable information covered.

The Witchcraft I practice is derived from the works of Doreen Valiente, Janet & Stuart Farrar and Gavin Bone, Michael Howard, Paul Huson, Scott Cunningham, and many other witchcraft, Wiccan, and neo-pagan authors with the addition of grimoires and ceremonial magick. It’s quite eclectic, and often some books tend to have missing pieces that are found in others.

Frances’s book however covers so much! A brief history, information regarding the sabbats, ethics and philosophy, tools, working with deity and more. Arranged as to provide a good foundation for the reader in order to move on to the next steps. I absolutely love this book. It definitely belongs in every witch’s library and is a wonderful resource.

When I’m not reading this book, it sits with books by Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, The Farrars, and Vivianne Crowley.
