Overview

This book helps you discover the shamanic roots of modern Witchcraft and experience a profound deepening of the soul. Divided into three parts corresponding to the Celtic realms of land, sky, and sea, this unique book introduces readers to the ancient Celtic trinity while exploring its associated Greek, Hawaiian, Hindu, Stregheria, and Wiccan customs. You can develop basic magick skills in breath work, grounding and centring, omen walks, and celebrating the body through dance. You can learn methods for expanding consciousness and working with energy, including astral projection, clairvoyance, and aura balancing, and ultimately enact shamanistic practices of trance, vision journeying, channelling, and oracle reading.

Lyrical, anecdotal, and practical . . . This book will engage and refresh the seasoned practitioner of modern Witchcraft and enlighten the novice equally. Recommended. --Kala Trobe, author of The Witch's Guide to Life Gede Parma has created a unique book. There are very few books which discuss this subject, and nearly none which are just on Spiritual Cosmology alone. This book will be of use to anyone following the Pagan magical path; not just Witches, but also Druids and Shamans. This is destined to be a classic.--Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, authors of Progressive Witchcraft A fascinating buffet of ideas and practices from many cultures and traditions neatly packaged into a coherent system. Fresh and welcome material from the next generation of Pagan authors!--John J. Coughlin, author of Ethics and the Craft In By Land, Sky and Sea: Three Realms of Shamanic Witchcraft, Gede Parma weaves together Celtic, Faerie and Balinese traditional understandings, augmented by Hellenic and Kemetic insights, and expanded by both first-hand Australian and European perspectives, to produce an innovative, comprehensive, essentially non-sectarian, pragmatic and refreshing spiritual/magickal approach. Here we find a depiction of Witchcraft as an ecstasy-driven, earth-based mystery path or series of paths--an other-worldly lineage that is to be distinguished from Wicca, on the one hand, and neoWiccan New Age, on the other. For the younger Pagan, Parma provides a succinct and balanced introduction to his WildWood tradition of contemporary Shamanic Paganism replete with explanations, counsel, ritual suggestions and energetic exercises, while for the older Pagan he allows the comfort and security of recognition to know that a future for Pagan faith rests in such open, honest and capable hands.--Michael York, author of Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion
