Who is the Goddess and how did she become the iconic figure we know today? Queen of All Witcheries explores the mythology of the Goddess through a historical lens, introducing you to influential voices that shaped the modern Goddess movement, including Charles Godfrey Leland, Margaret Murray, Dion Fortune, and Gerald Gardner.
Jack Chanek examines classic titles that build upon each other, like The Golden Bough and The White Goddess, showing how they impacted our contemporary understanding of the Goddess. Each chapter includes a solitary ritual, a group ritual, and a hands-on exercise to deepen your devotional experience. You will reenact the witches' esbat, light a divinatory ritual bonfire, make flying ointment, and more. Sharing extensive research and his own experiences, Jack provides you a richer understanding of the goddess and her evolving mythology.
