"When you separate the religious dogma from the symbolic nature of Christianity's ultimate rebel, who really is the Devil? Kate Freuler presents this infamous figure as a symbol, not a deity, and reveals how you can use this radical philosophy to strength yourself and your witchcraft.
The Devil represents rebelling against all-powerful, oppressive systems of any kind. Through historical references, religious writings, and even pop culture, this book explores the intersection between witchcraft and the rebel archetype. Kate dispels common myths, providing examples from a variety of texts and personal stories about her own connection to this misunderstood symbol. She also shares rituals you can use for self-empowerment. From the Devil's relationship with the old gods to the foods associated with him, this book invites you to see this controversial symbol with new eyes."
"Shadow magick occupies a critical but often misunderstood role in the rich history of witchcraft. This book explores topics such as the ethical use of animal parts and bones, blood magick, dark-moon energy, and other rarely discussed aspects of witchcraft. With a focus on ethically sourcing materials and suggestions for plant-based substitutions, author Kate Freuler provides much-needed information and hands-on techniques to help you strengthen your witchcraft practice, connect to nature, protect yourself (and your kith and kin), and know yourself in a deep way. Within these pages, you will also discover methods for hexing, scrying, sex magick, and working with dark deities in addition to the magickal use of graveyard dirt and performing spells to assist the crossing of a dying loved one. The shadow work explored in Of Blood and Bones reminds us that not everything is love and light and that facing the dark side supports the quest to achieve spiritual wholeness."
