The Magic of the Otherworld: Modern Sorcery from the Wellspring of Celtic Traditions

Learn how to build your own magical practice rooted in Celtic traditions with this comprehensive guidebook. "One of the best and most thorough books on magic and animistic polytheism in recent years, especially from a Celtic perspective. . . . A massive treasure trove of practice replete with a spirit-work oriented mindset that will enrich both beginners and experienced practitioners. Wholeheartedly recommended!"―Stefanos Chelydoreus, writer and creator of the Greek Witch and the Equine Serpent Shaped by ancient and mythological texts, The Magic of the Otherworld introduces you to a wellspring of Celtic magic and demonstrates how to apply these deep traditions to your unique, contemporary practice. Morpheus Ravenna helps you develop your skills from the ground up through rituals and deity work for healing, empowerment, justice, and more. With hands-on activities woven alongside history and lore from all over the Celtic world, you will master spiritual hygiene practices, protection methods, conflict magic, and a variety of other topics. Drawing upon polytheism, animism, and a connection to the Otherworld, Morpheus provides instructions for blessing water, conducting an ancestor elevation rite, beginning a spirit alliance, and creating a curse tablet. You will advance your sorcery through divination, sigil work, necromancy, and other techniques, developing more powerful expertise every step of the way.
