Occultism and magickal spiritual topics have long been explored in print. And these days with the internet at our disposal it's increasingly easier to find the old books in print and in electronic formats where before you had to be lucky enough to find them in dusty libraries scattered around the world. text/html 2007-08-08T00:00:00+01:00 http://witchgrotto.com http://witchgrotto.com/content/view/2/9/ Explore the rich depth of mystical spirituality within Wicca -- buy The Wiccan Mystic by Ben Gruagach (http://www.amazon.com/Wiccan-Mystic-Ben-Gruagach/dp/0615143113?tag=witchgrotto-20) at Amazon and other online bookstores now! text/html 2007-12-17T00:00:00+01:00 http://witchgrotto.com http://witchgrotto.com/content/view/51/26/ This meditation is based loosely on the story of Taliesin and how he achieved inspiration and transformation through the power of Cerridwen’s magic cauldron.

What books cover intermediate to advanced topics? One way to get into intermediate to advanced study is to work from books such as Deborah Lipp's excellent The Study of Witchcraft (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1578634091?tag=witchgrotto-20 link_code=as3 creativeASIN=1578634091 creative=373489 camp=211189) (San Francisco: Weiser Books, 2007.) Another way is to pick your favourite introductory text and look at its recommended reading list or bibliography. Here's my own categorized list to help out seekers looking for something beyond the introductory. text/html 2007-09-26T17:17:18+01:00 http://witchgrotto.com http://witchgrotto.com/content/view/60/2/ Today the WitchGrotto website proudly presents another new feature: downloads!

The downloads section provides a selection of texts (mostly in PDF but a few as MS Word documents) of interest to those studying Paganism, witchcraft, and occult topics. The download system we are using allows you to download files one at a time, or you can select multiple files and have them downloaded in a single compressed ZIP file.
