Crafting Daily Spiritual Practices

Quick Guides Series #1

This book takes the idea that a daily spiritual practice is doing something each day that enhances your personal growth and development through the reasons you might want to craft such a practice for yourself. It gives some “Helpful Hints” to make the process of starting less daunting and also discusses some different types of practices you might want to try. While a daily spiritual practice might include some things you work on incorporating consistently, it also includes a list of some fun things you might want to try on a daily basis to increase the joy that should be an aspect of a daily practice.

Creating a Book of the Seen & Unseen<br/>

Quick Guides Series #2

This book is about the steps you may take to begin to keep your own Book of the Seen and Unseen which is what The Path has come to call our own records of our magickal and spiritual practices. The Seen stands for the written words you record and the Unseen stands for the growth experienced through your practice. It covers background and history of keeping a record, suggested materials you can use, and various sections you may wish to include.

Connecting to Your Own Environment

Quick Guides Series #3

This book discusses that most of us do not live in some idyllic rural environment out in the woods in a cute little cottage as practicing Witches. Whether from economic necessity or because we are more comfortable in cities or suburbs, we hopefully get to choose where we live and practice. Learning about the available energies around us whether Genus Loci, aka spirits of place, or those created by the connections of people or buildings of some type allows us to find different ways to relate and connect to the environment in which we live.

Developing Personal Correspondences

Quick Guides Series #4

Correspondences are substitutions for something in spellwork when you cannot physically use the actual thing. On The Path, we have divided correspondences into two different types: Traditional and Modern. While this book discusses both types in detail, the important thing for any Witch who is creating a spell to remember is that any correspondence you choose to use has to resonate with your soul and focused intent to be effective.

Guide to Making Smoke Cleansing Sticks

Quick Guides Series #5

Smoke Cleansing Sticks can be used for a variety of purposes besides just a basic cleansing of yourself and your ritual spaces. This book details step by step instructions for making your own smoke cleansing sticks as well as offering different herbs and colors that can be used as potential correspondences to increase their magickal effectiveness.

Guide to Making a Perpetual Lunar Calendar

Quick Guides Series #6

As part of many Witchcraft practices, developing a relationship with the various Lunar energies available to enhance ritual or spellwork is important. This book offers suggestions about how to create a perpetual monthly lunar calendar so you can know at a glance exactly which phase the Moon is on any given day. While there are many apps detailing this information, the idea of making one for yourself makes it more personal. It also includes suggestions about other dates and times you may wish to acknowledge.

Guide to Making & Using Witchcraft Prayer Beads

Quick Guides Series #7

Prayer beads in various forms are used by most of the major religions of the world so why can’t you adapt their use for your own practice if you choose. This monograph discusses a little of the history of beads and prayer beads. It also includes some of the uses you might consider for your own Witchcraft spiritual practices. Several prayer bead chants written and used by The Path are included and concludes with the instructions for crafting a potential set of your own.

Basic Tools of the Craft

Quick Guides Series #8

This book talks about what many Witches consider the four basic tools which are often used as part of rituals or to represent the four Physical Elements on an altar. As an introduction, there is discussion about the history and myths regarding these items as well as some common appearances and correspondences. Int also talks about several less commonly used tools as well as some of the ephemera that we naturally tend to collect as part of our practices. One important point that is stressed throughout is that although having and using tools is a great adjunct to your workings, you as the Witch are all that is needed to create magick.

Basic Spellcrafting

Quick Guides Series #9

One of the best parts about practicing Witchcraft is that we can use spells to create changes in ourselves and the mundane world in which we live and work. This monograph discusses a basic outline of the steps someone can use to write a more “formal” spell. It also details some practical considerations when writing and talks about why it is beneficial to keep some sort of record of the spells you choose to write and perform

A Basic Guide to Altars: Their Creation and Use

Quick Guides Series #10

On The Path, we have found many uses for altars of all kinds. Altars can be created in all shapes and sizes with a single or multiple purposes depending on what a Witch's intent might be. This monograph gives our definition of an altar, some of the different purposes it may be used for, and some suggestions if you want to try creating some of your own.

Making Incenses for the Practice of Witchcraft

Quick Guides Series #11

Incense has been part of many religious traditions throughout the world for thousands of years. The sight of the smoke rising and the scents it creates are often part of many Witchcraft practices for both ritual and spellwork. While there are amazing blends available, why not try crafting your own? Not only does it add your own energy to whatever you are burning, you can create specific ones whose ingredients best match your purposes. This monography gives you some easy steps to use to try this process.

Quick Guide to the Different Energies of the Lunar Cycle

Quick Guides Series #12

Most Witches celebrate the energies of the Full Moon with some type of ritual or magick. On The Path, however, we believe it is important to understand and work with the other phases of this Lunar Cycle and the available energies for celebration and spellwork. Most people consider the Moon as having four phases: New, Waxing, Full, and Waning. We tend to look at the cycle a bit differently and this monograph discusses not only how we see them but also includes a few activities you can try for each phase to learn more about them.

Simple Candle Magick for Witches

Quick Guides Series #13

Candle magick is often the first and easiest form of Witchcraft/spellwork that many of us learn. Here are some tips and tricks for making the most of this easy form of magick.

Practicing Spontaneous Magick in Nature

Quick Guides Series #14

As Witches, we get attached to our tools, our incenses, our crystals etc. that we think we "have" to have for our magickal practices. In this monograph, on The Path we offer a different perspective about practicing without any of our handy dandy stuff and just using whatever we can find around us in nature to do magick. After all, we don't really need that stuff because you are the magick and sometimes taking a look around offers us some very different things to use quite effectively.

Using Modern Items for Witchcraft & Magick

Quick Guides Series #15

As Witches, we often are taught to use herbs, crystals, and other natural, i.e. old fashioned, items for our practices of Witchcraft or magick. On The Path, we believe that as practical, modern people we can use all sorts of modern items as correspondences or to enhance what we do. This monograph talks about a number of different possibilities of what may be available for you to use.

Simple Paper Magick for Witches

Quick Guides Series #16

Writing and paper have been part of human history for a very long time. One of the first known saved writing was actually a spell on a clay tablet in Mesopotamia. Why not take advantage of this long history and built up energy to use paper in various ways in your own magick practices. We have included a brief history of writing and the use of paper for your edification as well as some different things you can include in your personal spellwork.

Affordable Witchcraft

Generally Witchy Series #1

This book deals with the idea that many of us have developed that we need the most expensive tools and spellwork ingredients to be a Witch. Nothing could be further from the truth and this book not only discusses the differences between individual wants and needs but gives some practical suggestions for Witchcraft based on your personal budget. It talks about where you can go to find items and also offers some budget-friendly suggestions about potential tools and ritual items, spellcrafting ingredients, and things you can use to decorate your home for celebrations.

Mini Mindfulness Moments

Generally Witchy Series #2

This book introduces the concept of using Mini Mindfulness Moments throughout your day to remind yourself that you are a Witch and that magick exists all around you. They are taken from our book Crafting a Magickal Life. These suggested moments can be added throughout your day as you choose to enhance your daily spiritual practices.

Creating a Magickal Tool Box

Generally Witchy Series #3

We have learned over the years that we are the magick. On The Path, we believe that we don’t need a lot (or any) tools or correspondences. As long as we ask for the aid of the energies we work with and create our intent for spells or to perform ritual, then the process works. However, it is always nice to add in the bells and whistles that many think they “need” to have because they are aesthetically pleasing to look at, touch, or smell as part of the experience. This monograph discusses creating a Magickal Toolbox where you can keep important things for your own practice. The idea of gathering together items that are an aid to your ability to make magick and having them easily accessible makes a practice much easier and more coherent. The monograph breaks these items into three types: Altar Supplies, Spellwork Stuff, and Magickal First Aid Kits.

Writing and Performing Rituals

Generally Witchy Series #4

Many people find the idea of writing and performing their own rituals overwhelming at first. This monograph is designed to give you some things to consider before you start the process of writing to make it easier. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that whatever you choose to write should further the overall purpose of your personal spiritual practice. It also includes a discussion about the three parts of a ritual and some of the common components so that you can decide what you want to include in your own. It also discusses some considerations if you are writing a ritual for a group or planning to perform it outdoors.

Why Do I Forget that I am a Witch?

Generally Witchy Series #5

While there are many issues that can and should be dealt with using only mundane means, a Witch should at least consider the possibility of using magick as a potential solution. If nothing else, giving yourself increased clarity or a sense of calm or a boost of personal confidence can only help with everyday problems and those larger ones that crop up in everyone’s life. However, when your author is first in the middle of a major crisis, magick to aid the situation often isn’t part of my initial thought processes or considered at all. After examining why this is on a very personal level, several common reasons seemed to emerge. Talking about these and some potential ways to work on bringing the possibility of using magick into a situation sooner are the focus of this book.

Learning About Spiritual Awakenings

Generally Witchy Series #6

This book discusses various aspects of Spiritual Awakenings including potential definitions and its purposes. It also lists various stages and results experienced by individuals who have had such an awakening in their personal lives. It also contains a section on what is often referred to as the Dark Night of the Soul, a time period where one feels devoid of any spiritual connections or meanings, and some suggestions about how to live through this; almost everyone will experience some form of this in their lives and it is a much-neglected discussion as part of the spiritual awakening process.

Prayer, Meditation, & Gratitude for Witches

Generally Witchy Series #7

This book takes the concepts of prayer, meditation, and an attitude of gratitude which has been developed for those who follow The Path Tradition of Witchcraft from more traditional monotheistic perspectives to use within a Twelve Step Program into something that can become an integral part of one’s personal spiritual practices. These three concepts is discussed from the point of view of a Witch and how they can be integrated into one’s practice singly or in concert.

Basics of Crafting Your Own Practices and Traditions

Generally Witchy Series #8

This book does not give you a step-by-step guide about how to write your own practices and/or personal tradition of Witchcraft. If you are at the beginning of this process and have decided to work on your own stuff, it does offer some things to consider which may give you a better starting point. Whether you can’t find something that works for your personal beliefs or have outgrown a tradition you have been working with, creating your own takes time and trying out a bunch of different things along the way. It is also an on-going process as you continue to grow and change.

Adapting Your Practice to Meet Special Needs

Generally Witchy Series #9

As a community, Pagans are talking about being more inclusive, of welcoming everyone regardless of age, race, sexual identity, or any differences in practice. However, we often don't consider these differences when crafting rituals or adapting ones we have round somewhere else for our own use or for when performing them as part of a group. This monograph asks the reader to consider how these differences may affect others' ability to experience ritual as we intended or even to participate at all. It also offers some basic things that may assist us in adapting rituals to meet any special needs; however, this is a topic that deserves conversations between various groups within the community as well.

Self Care from a Witchy Perspective

Generally Witchy Series #10

Self-care is often defined as doing whatever we need to do to obtain our most optimal state of health which can include decreasing our stress levels. On The Path, we see it as finding the best balance with our Sacred Three of Body, Mind, and Spirit. This monograph offers a bunch of suggestions of things someone can try to take care of each of these three areas and no they don't involve finding time to take a relaxing bubble bath with candles and music either.

Managing Aphantasia as a Witch

Generally Witchy Series #11

If can you visualize, congratulations you are a Witch! If you don't visualize, congratulations you are also a Witch who may be managing what is now known as Aphantasia. This is a term that has been used since 2015 to describe people who don't mentally create pictures. While many modern Witchcraft books focus on various visualization techniques for ritual and spellwork, this monograph gives you some practical tips and tricks to adapt stuff if you think you might have Aphantasia.

Getting Your Witchiness Back

Generally Witchy Series #12

As Witches, we all have those times when mundane responsibilities keep us from practicing like we want or maybe even think we should. We suddenly find it has been days or weeks or months since we did anything Witchy. Some people call this being in a "slump". Here are some tips to get yourself back to a regular practice without the guilt. Connecting with the Energies of the Four Physical Elements

Connecting with the Energies of the Four Physical Elements

Generally Witchy Series #13

As Witches, we are taught that there are energies we can work with during rituals and for casting spells. This monograph is a guide for those who want to develop a better working relationship with the four Physical Elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Starting with activities to develop a person's awareness of them on the magickal and the mundane, it then discusses ways to deepen these connections.

Mind the Human in Your Practices

Generally Witchy Series #14

As a Witch, getting the most out of your practices of ritual and magick is something we all want in our lives. This monograph asks you to consider the "health" of all the aspects of your Sacred Three of Body, Mind, and Spirt before expending the energy needed to practice anything.

Harmonizing Magic with Medicine for Holistic Healing

Generally Witchy Series #15

The Creed of the Path

The Path Series #1

This book discusses how those of us on The Path have created our own creed which we define as a basic statement of beliefs. It included not only our Creed but details the process of writing so that you can create one of your own if you choose to do so. There is a discussion about word choices when stating your beliefs and offers suggestions about how to make sure what you want to say is really what you are writing.

The Concept of Witchblood

The Path Series #2

This book introduces how we view the personal awakening of the Witch within each of us. We use the concept of Witchblood to explain the spiritual changes that can happen to someone who chooses to practice Witchcraft. We believe that a Witch has both physical and spiritual Witchblood which can be “awakened” to enhance awareness of the magickal and the mundane and to develop a better relationship with both one’s own Internal Spark of the Divine and the External Divine of the Universe. This monograph discusses the process of awakening but does not offer a step by step guide to doing so; we believe this is work that must be created and done individually.

The Wheel of the Year

The Path Series #3

This book introduces another perspective about what is often termed the Wheel of the Year which encompasses the 8 Solar Festivals often celebrated by Witches. On The Path, we have divided them into two categories: Sabbats and Equinoxes the Cross-Quarter Times. It discusses both of these categories in more depth as well as a brief discussion about ways to work and celebrate the changing energies.

The Times of Candlemas

The Path Series #4

On our spiritual path, we have learned to celebrate what many call the "Cross-Quarter Days" as a Time period or season. The Times of Candlemas details some of the things we do to enhance our experience of the Element of Fire which we experience as predominant starting now. Each Cross Quarter Time lasts approximately 90 days, and this is the time of year of introspection and personal emotional work as a Witch.

The Times of Beltane

The Path Series #5

On our spiritual path, we have learned to celebrate what many call the "Cross-Quarter Days" as a Time period or season. The Times of Beltane details some of the things we do to enhance our experience of the Element of Earth which we experience as predominant starting now. Each Cross Quarter Time lasts approximately 90 days, and this is the time for working on the Foundations of your practice as a Witch.

The Times of Loafmas

The Path Series #6

On our spiritual path, we have learned to celebrate what many call the "Cross-Quarter Days" as a Time period or season. The Times of Loafmas details some of the things we do to enhance our experience of the Element of Air which we experience as predominant starting now. Each Cross Quarter Time lasts approximately 90 days, and this is the time of year of new perspectives and examining our beliefs as a Witch.

The Times of Samhain

The Path Series #7

On our spiritual path, we have learned to celebrate what many call the "Cross-Quarter Days" as a Time period or season. The Times of Samhain details some of the things we do to enhance our experience of the Element of Water which we experience as predominant starting now. Each Cross Quarter Time lasts approximately 90 days, and this is the time of year of introspection and personal emotional work as a Witch.

Compilation of Housel Recipes

The Path Series #8

Housel (aka Cakes and Ale) is the partaking of food and drink after completing a working as part of a ritual. This book contains various recipes for breads, cookies, and cakes we have served as part of our Rituals. Suggestions are offered for when they might be served.

Stones Used on the Path A Compilation

The Path Series #9

On The Path, we work with a number of stones for various reasons. These include working with their energy for our spellwork and as touchstones to remind us of important things or as a way to ask for support in our learning. Some of the correspondences presented match the “traditional” while others have been developed because of the relationships we establish with them. We have also included information about the appearance of the stones, where they come from, and some “historical” information. Many Witches feel that plants and animals have a spirit that you can learn to interact with to understand their energies or gifts that you can work with as part of the practice of Witchcraft. However, when you think about it, stones also have different energies and gifts connected with them as well. It is possible to connect with them as well if you are willing to consider that they operate on a much slower level than other biological organisms. In their own ways, we believe they are alive, sentient, and communicative.

Compilation of Full Moon Workings 2019

The Path Series #10

We have gathered together all the Full Moon Workings that were offered as part of our Ritual Subscription Service during 2019. Each working contains its purpose, a list of supplies, and instructions on how to perform it. While they were crafted to be enhanced by the available astrological energies, they can be performed at any Full Moon if you wish to work with the intended purpose.

Compilation of Full Moon Workings 2020

The Path Series #11

We have gathered together all the Full Moon Workings that were offered by the 2 Young Crones as part of The Path Tradition during 2020. Each working contains its purpose, a list of supplies, and instructions on how to perform it. While they were crafted to be enhanced by the available astrological energies, they can be performed at any Full Moon if you wish to work with the intended purpose. The focus of these rituals was creating magickal items to deal with everyday life difficulties.

Compilation of Dark Times of the Moon Rituals

The Path Series #12

On The Path, we have learned to celebrate what we call the Dark Times of the Moon, that three day period directly opposite from the Times of the Full Moon and its three days. At this time, we work with what we have termed super receptive energies to connect with the Moon at this time. While many people don't believe this is an appropriate time for ritual or magick, we don't feel that way and want to share what we have been celebrating and learning about this time of the month. This monograph includes how we started this part of our practice along with a Dark Times of the Moon Ritual Template, some of our Workings, and a Dark Moon Incense recipe.

Solstices and Equinoxes

The Path Series #13

On The Path, we celebrate the Greater Sabbats of Candlemas, Beltane, Loafmas, and Samhain as periods of time lasting approximately 90 days each. In the middle of each of these seasons is when the Solstices and Equinoxes occur which we celebrate as specific points in time as well as the start of the four seasons of the Solar Year itself. This monograph talks about the energies and offers sample rituals for each of these four Lesser Sabbats.

The 13 Moons of The Path

The Path Series #14

As the Moon moves through its yearly Lunar Cycle, 13 times it appears in the night sky as full. Many cultures have developed names for each over the eons based on weather, geography, various natural phenomena, and culture. For us on The Path, we have come up with our own names for each based on our own lives and practices. This monograph talks about each one and some of energies we work with for ritual and magick. Practicing Spontaneous Magick in Nature
