The Gates of Witchcraft: Twelve Paths of Power, Trance and Gnosi

The Gates of Witchcraft: Twelve Paths of Power, Trance and Gnosis by Christopher Penczak

Many roads - one destination: that alternate state of consciousness associated with magick and witchcraft. In The Gates of Witchcraft, award-winning author Christopher Penczak looks at twelve different "gateways" of trance and gnosis, twelve different paths for changing our consciousness to go deeper and get more in touch with the magick within.

From meditation and breath-work to dance and music, sacred space and sacred vestments, to the Lonely Road of isolation or the Path of Poison working with herbal allies, The Gates of Witchcraft, presents theory, practices, exercises, and rituals for exploring the different paths to power in the Craft. Learn the various aids to help you along the path and take heed of their dangers and shadow-sides.
 
Whether you are an experienced practitioner or a novice finding your way, you will find something to help you along. Step onto the path and open... The Gates of Witchcraft!
