Wicca places the responsibility for magickal & spiritual development firmly in the hands of the individual. Through the practice of ritual Wiccans celebrate their Goddesses and Gods and the ever changing phases of Nature. It fulfils a need for Magick, Mysticism and Religion which are so often lacking in the modern world we live in. This book explores the core practices and symbolism of Wiccan ritual. The rituals can easily be adapted to suit the need of individual practitioners and practical examples are given throughout. Subjects covered include: The Ritual Tools & Consecration Ritual & Altar Preparation Creation of Ritual Space The Four Elements, Elemental Guardians & Landscapes Invocation of the Goddess, God & Old Ones Planetary Hours Magickal Gestures Both Sorita & David have been practicing magickal ceremony since their teens, with more than 35 years experience between them. Together they founded the Wiccan training circle VITRIOL Grove and several Wiccan Covens. Additionally they give regular lectures and workshops around Europe and have led many large and small public and private ceremonies. They live in London (UK).

Practitioners of Wicca call on the Gods of our ancestors in their rites, they perform  rituals to mark the changing seasons  of the year and celebrate the  Gods in the light of the Full Moon.   Wicca provides a system of magick, spirituality and mysticism which allows each individual to develop their  own relationship with the Gods and the world around them.    Towards the Wiccan Circle was born out of the very popular Avalonia  homestudy course of the same name.  It was designed by experienced coven leaders to provide a structured course of study for individuals who  are interested in Wicca and who want to explore the key principles and  practices of the tradition by themselves prior to making a commitment.  Likewise, it  will benefit individuals who are working by themselves and who are seeking to build a solid foundation from which to further explore the tradition, with or without others.     This thoroughly practical self-study course provides an excellent  introduction to Wicca as a mystery tradition in seven lessons, each  covering a key aspect of the beliefs and practices, these are:     Lesson 1 -  Paganism, Witchcraft & Wicca  Lesson 2 - Magick: Towards an Understanding  Lesson 3 - The Gods & Goddesses  Lesson 4 - The Four Elements  Lesson 5 - The Times Of Magick - Cycles of Nature  Lesson 6 - Sacred Space  Lesson 7 - Initiation & Rites Of Passage      Throughout the book, practical exercises,meditations and simple ceremonies  are provided, together with suggestions for further reading.  You will learn about  the history, whilst exploring the practices and deepening your understanding of the four  elements and the natural world, whilst exercising your visualisation skills and building on your understanding of the tradition through an experiential approach.
