The Wiccan Mysteries Ancient Origins and Teachings by Raven Grimassi.
What you will encounter in The Wiccan Mysteries is material that was once taught only in the initiate levels of the old Wiccan Mystery Traditions, and to which many solitary practitioners have never had access. Learn the inner meanings of Wiccan rites, beliefs and practices, and discover the time-proven concepts that created, maintained and carried Wiccan beliefs up into this modern era.
The Wiccan Mysteries
The majority of Wiccan traditions have their foundation in the religion of the Celts. Unfortunately, very little of what the Celts believed and practiced can be proven historically. As a result, many people think of Wiccan Traditions as modern inventions.
That's why you need The Wiccan Mysteries by Raven Grimassi. You''ll learn that much of the history of the ancient traditions preserved in some Wiccan traditions has been hidden within the Mystery Tradition of the Old Religion or kept confidential within secret societies.
The Wiccan Mysteries is a ground-breaking work of modern religious scholarship that explores the origins and development of the various Mystery Traditions forming the spiritual foundations of contemporary Wicca. You will discover the inner meanings of various rites, beliefs, and symbols, and how you can put them to use within the Craft as you practice it. You will be able to follow the traditions as they evolved, as well as learn about those derived from other cultures.
Daring, informative, and fascinating, The Wiccan Mysteries will challenge your preconceptions, get you to examine your own perceptions, and expand your understanding of the true antiquity which can be found within Wicca. Here you'll find Mysteries previously reserved for initiates and unavailable to others.
Wicca is a fast-growing religion and dynamic system for spiritual development. Now you can discover the inner keys that give meaning to its practices. This book is the result of two decades of research and scholarship. It will help you take your practices to a new level of power and beauty. If you are a Wiccan, or want to know more about the true, inner secrets of the ancient Craft, The Wiccan Mysteries is a must.

REVIEW:
The first goal is to show that Wicca is not a contemporary invention, but a modern manifestation of ancient tradition. As a result of twenty years of scholarly research, Raven Grimassi is able to show the sources for many traditions and how they developed over time. You'll discover the sources of the deities, who and what the "Watchers" are, and the sources of Wiccan beliefs.
The second goal is to give initiatory information on subjects such as the magical arts and tools, men's mysteries and women's mysteries, and the secrets of the sacred Wiccan texts. Much of this was unavailable unless you were an initiate into one of the older Wiccan traditions. You will discover the true, inner meanings of the Charge of the Goddess and other texts, giving you a fuller appreciation of the inner meanings and symbolism of Wiccan rites and traditional practices.
Learn time-honored techniques to create your own astral temple, properly consecrate ritual tools, or work with a magickal familiar. The Wiccan Mysteries is an indispensable guide to understanding the essential teachings of Wicca. Get a copy today.
