Celtic Magic by D.J. Conway is designed for both beginners and those who possess intermediate-level magical skills—and anyone who simply has a great interest in Celtic history, lore, and magic.
The words Celtic Magic conjure up images of Druids and mystical oak groves, daring Irish warriors, fairies, elves, and ancient deities who took an active part in the lives of the people who worshiped them. Practical and easy to understand, Celtic Magic offers important features that distinguish it from other books written about the Celts:
—An in-depth discussion of Celtic culture and customs
—A complete listing of Celtic myths and deities.
—Step-by-step instructions for spell work, ritual, meditations, and divination to help you gain insight or make changes in your life.
It is believed that the fastest growing religion in the world is Wicca or Witchcraft. The modern Wiccan movement, although very eclectic, can primarily be traced back to the traditions and religion of the ancient Celts.
Who were they? What did they believe? Who were the gods and goddesses they worshiped? What was their magic like? These and many other questions are answered in D. J. Conway's Celtic Magic.
There is an astounding amount of information in this book. You will learn how to prepare for doing magic and how the elements of air, earth, fire, and water are used in magic. Then you will learn how to cast a magic circle and see an example of an actual ritual.
You will also learn about the tools used in Celtic magic, including the altar, cauldron, pentacle, wand, staff, headband, armband, goblets, incense burner, knife, sword, robes, candles, herbs, and stones. How you use all of these tools is fully explained in the book.
Next come the rituals of the holidays. Revealed here are rituals for Ancestor Night (Halloween or Samhain), Imbolc (February 1), Beltane (Mayday) Lughnasadh (August 1), plus the solstices and equinoxes. Also included is a special ritual of self-initiation.
Of course, you'll also learn all about the Celts themselves. Included in this book is information on their history and their religion. There is a complete section listing some of their most important gods and goddesses, so you can better understand their religion and, if you wish, make it yours, too.
Naturally, this book is also filled with magic! You'll find instructions for herb magic, including how to use alder to bring air elementals to your area, and how apples can be used to get rid of warts. You'll learn how to use chamomile to enhance prosperity spells, and heather to promote love and protection. Many more secrets of herbs are given. Also in this book is information on cauldron magic, stone magic, and candle magic. You'll find scores of magical correspondences that can help enhance any magic you do.
If you are just getting into the Craft of the Wise, this book is a must. With the information here you will be able to fill out your knowledge of these ancient peoples. One thing you may find of particular interest in how the Celts and the Druids are related. This may be vital information for your future practices as a Wiccan.

REVIEWS
Even as a young boy, I was interested in spirituality and its manifestations within religious structures. So it should come as no surprise that I was involved with the Wiccan movements in the United States. We published some of the first books on Wicca in the U.S. and held some of the first Pagan festivals in this country.
Over the years I have received thousands of letters from people wanting to know how to become Witches. Many of them came from people who knew a little about the Craft and were specifically interested in Celtic Wicca.
If you are interested in this style of the Craft and want to know where to start, I can recommend Celtic Magic by D. J. Conway. Over 225,000 people have this book, and you should have it, too.
This book has everything you need to start learning the Celtic traditions. The tools, the rituals, the magical methods — anything you would want is right here. Do you need a ritual for the Summer Solstice? It's in the book. Do you need some magic to gain love or money? You'll find it here, too.
Celtic Magic is a great place to start your studies of Wicca. Do you need to know how to make a magic circle? Instructions are in the book. Do you need a set of magical correspondences so you can determine the best goddess or god, color or incense to use for any magical purpose? You'll find it here, too.
Perhaps the best thing about this book is that it is clear and easy to understand. You'll not only read this book for the information, but because it is fun and holds your interest. This is a book you'll find yourself carrying around and frequently consulting. In fact you may find this to be the most valuable book you own.
Celtic Magic is the perfect fit for a beginner, and also makes a great gift for friends or family.
