A student of the late Wicca pioneer Dr. Gerald Gardner, Raymond Buckland has been widely credited with introducing Wicca to the United States. He was one of the world's foremost experts on Witchcraft, Wicca, and Earth religions.
With 560 entries, a resource section, and 114 photos and illustrations, this is an exhaustive exploration of Witchcraft, Wicca, paganism, magic, people, places, events, literature, and more. It shows how, in pre-Christian and early Christian times, Witchcraft (with a capital W) was a magical and healing practice associated with early spirtual beliefs, including how the word Witch comes from the Old Anglo-Saxon wicce or wicca, meaning a wise one the wiseman or -woman of the common people who had knowledge of herbs, healing, augury, and magic.
It also tackles how Witchcraft and paganism were erroneously linked with Satanism, black magic, and pop-culture distortions. It defines both the darker Christian concept and the true concept of Wicca, concentrating on the Western European and later New World versions of Witchcraft and magic. The Witch Book is a broad and deep look at witches, witchcraft and the Wicca tradition.

The fascinating history of Spiritualism is coaxed into the material realm as the object of this perceptive and sweeping overview by that legendary author of the occult and supernatural, Raymond Buckland. Drawing on decades of research, writing, and transcendence, he describes sundry methods of channeling, events associated with Spiritualism, including séances and exorcism, organizations focused on clairvoyance, and a colorful host of mortals--famous and infamous--who delved into Spiritualism. Nostradamus, Helena Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce receive their due, as well as Joan of Arc, William Blake, Susan B. Anthony, Winston Churchill, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mahatma Gandhi, Harry Houdini, and Mae West (look up and see her sometime).
The Spirit Book explores Qabbalah, Sibyls, Fairies, Poltergeists; phenomena such as intuition and karma; objects useful in the attempt to cross the divide, including tarot cards, flower reading, and runes; and related practices such as Shamanism, transfiguration, meditation, and mesmerism.

Containing more than 500 entries and 100 illustrations, this fun, fact-filled tome is richly illustrated. Its helpful bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness.
Everybody dreams. Some people remember dreams more readily that others, but everyone dreams. Chances are you remember a recent one. And there are probably several other past dreams that stick in your mind, too.
But are dreams just the mind at play? No. They have meaning. The problem is, the meaning is in the symbols found in the dream. To fully understand the dream you have to understand its symbols. And one of the best ways to do this is by using Ray Buckland's Gypsy Dream Dictionary (an expanded version of Secrets of Gypsy Dream Reading).
The meanings of over 850 different symbols that commonly appear in dreams are given. Did you dream of a wide, straight road? That means things will come to you easily. Did you dream of a grasshopper? That is a bad sign, indicating financial losses to come. Did you dream of yourself wielding an axe? That means you are respected for your position. You will also learn how to pick the important symbols from your dreams in order to interpret them.
If this book just gave the meanings of dreams, it could prove vitally important to your spiritual development. But it goes beyond that and provides a basic introduction to dream sciences. In this book, you will learn the secrets of how to recognize prophetic dreams and how to make money with your dreaming abilities. You will also learn how to enjoy the experience of knowing that you are dreaming (lucid dreaming).
This book has been updated to include some important symbols which wouldn't have even been considered years ago. From TV to the internet, movies to computers, it's all here
Now is the time for you to find out what your dreams mean. They could save your life or help you reach financial stability. Don't you think you need to find out the secrets of what is going on in your head for one-third of your life, the time you spend asleep? Then you owe it to yourself to get this book.
