This holiday season was marked by the release of a unique new book: "The Common Book of Witchcraft and Wicca." The book, dealing with magic and spirituality for the modern Witch, is highly unusual not only in being offered free of charge but also in being published under a creative commons license that allows people to share and republish its contents without having to worry about copyright issues. The book is available as a free .pdf download directly at http://goo.gl/9L9HdT or through the publisher's site at http://bit.ly/tcbowaw.
"The book is a gift," said Rev. Don Lewis, a Wiccan Arch Priest and one of the authors featured in the Common Book, "it is freely given to all, to use as they see fit. All of the contributors have given their work, without limitation, as an act of love toward the world. The work is meant to used, meant to be shared." "The Common Book of Witchcraft and Wicca" includes a total of 400 pages of articles, chants, and poems dealing with Witchcraft and Wiccan spirituality, ranging from creation and the nature of the soul to magical manipulation of time. There are also biographies of famous Witches and Pagans from history. Authors featured in the "Common Book" include Pagan luminaries such as Oberon Zell-Ravenheart of the Church of All Worlds and the Grey School of Wizardry, Rev. Don Lewis of the Correllian Nativist Tradition of Wicca, Abby Willowroot of Spiral Goddess Grove, Raven Digitalis, Arch Priestess Stephanie Leon Neal, Alan Salmi, and A. C. Fisher-Aldag, among others.Videos
