OverviewWitches are creatures of magic. They cast spells, heal and foretell the future. Witches, also, can commune with the spirits of the dead. A modern-day Warlock, Christian Day shows how the dead can be summoned to perform such tasks as helping you to seduce the object of your affection, influence the minds of others, reach into the dreams of the unwary and even spy on people. According to some legends, the dead knew where lost treasures where buried. Not much has changed. Spirits can convey magical talents, fame, love and wealth to those brave enough to summon them. THE WITCHES' BOOK OF THE DEAD explores the enduring relationship between witches and the dead and shares rituals and incantations to help readers open doorways to the spirit world. Topics include: - Legendary Witches who have raised the dead, including the Witch of Endor and Marie Laveau - Building ancestral altars - Using mirrors to contact the dead, ghost hunting, spirit possessions and exorcism to contact the dead - The Tools of Necromancy: Iron keys, graveyard dust, bones, skulls, animal parts, powders, daggers, dried bat wings and more.

Christian brings detailed and concise knowledge and research of necromantic lore, history, spirit communication and magic. The author's unique writing style and ability is as magical and creative as the text found within the pages of his book. I have always taught and found that the darkness is equally as beautiful as the light, and The Witches' Book of The Dead has brought this truth back into the realm of modern witchcraft. Christian Day has outdone himself with this rare, beautifully written, brilliant work. If you are tired of reading regurgitated, watered-down 101 books or have found yourself in a place where you wish to delve deeper into the core of the occult, then this is a must read. -Starrfire Price, Founder and Webmistress, PaganSpace.net This book is an invaluable text that can open pathways to subjects otherwise deemed unapproachable in a way that makes necromancy understandable to all. -Leilah Wendell, author of The Necromantic Ritual Book, Encounters With Death , and Our Name Is Melancholy the Complete Books of Azrael Author InformationChristian Day is a modern day Warlock living in the ""Witch City"" of Salem, Massachusetts.
