Second Circle, The: Tools for the Advancing Pagan (pre-Loved)

Far from just another book of spells or rituals. The Second Circle is a comprehensive guide that helps the reader move to the next level of learning about the mysteries by fostering a sense of independence and the ability to think and act for oneself. Author Venecia Rauls has distilled more than fifteen years of experience into basic areas of study that can help other advancing seekers who are confused about how to proceed. Included are chapters on designing personal rituals and making one’s own from scratch; a chapter on ethics and magic that takes into account individual standards and the difficulty of making decisions in a complex world and features a holistic approach based on Jungian psychology, physics, philosophy, and literature that urges readers to incorporate magic and spirituality into every aspect of everyday life.

Practitioners will learn study tips for reading and understanding, practicing advanced dreamwork, dealing with deities, discerning the difference between magic and ritual; and how to move past visualization. Complete with exercises and clear instruction for increasing magical powers.

The Second Circle is an invaluable addition to any pagan’s library.
