The Christian Witch is a magical manual that explores the practice and way of life of being a true Christian Witch. Is it even possible to be a Christian and a witch at the same time? The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, in antiquity, many of the new Christians were witches. They happened to be witches who simply fell in love with Jesus. They continued to practice their magical craft as they embraced Jesus and His divine teachings. This handbook also reveals how you can continue to practice the craft without transgressing the word of God. Indeed, you can be a true Christian while continuing to practice the magical arts at the same time. It is also interesting to note that when Jesus was born, He was visited by three wise men -- the magi. The word magi is the plural of magus, which means magician, also from which the word magic came from. The Christian Witch is a holy key that can open the door for you, so that you can enjoy a meaningful and magical life with Jesus. These days, it is sad that many people frown upon those who practice the craft of magic and follow the teachings of Jesus at the same time. This is mainly because the thinking of most people is based on fear and interprets by the letter that kills, and not by the Spirit that gives life. Love casts out all fear, and if you truly walk with Jesus, then you shall be pure and holy. As a Christian witch, the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be the sole foundation of your spiritual life. As such, you can be sure that you are taking the path of righteousness and holiness. This handbook also teaches essential magical practices that you can do as a Christian witch, and how you can live a holy life with Jesus Christ. It should be noted that Jesus was and is not a witch or a magician, for He is the Lord, the Son of the living God. However, this does not mean that you cannot love Him if you are a witch, for love knows no bounds -- especially the love of God. It is my sincere hope that this handbook be your guiding light and show you the magical path of love to Jesus Christ. Always with love and with light, fear not; have faith, and love our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Dark Wind provides a survey of witches around the world, their prehistoric origin and how society has viewed them throughout history. Folklorist Gary R. Varner explores the use of magic, spells and curses among indigenous groups as well as state approved religions such as those observed in ancient Rome and Greece, and how even contemporary Christianity uses many of the same "magic" combinations. Also examined is the current "witch craze" in several countries where thousands are being killed as witches, the underlying reasons for this tragedy and the history of anti-witchcraft laws. The Dark Wind is a book for everyone interested in anthropology, archaeology, ancient history, religion and the occult. Illustrated with contemporary woodcuts and drawings. The author is a member of the American Folklore Society and the Foundation for Mythological Studies.

"These pages must stand for what they are--a brief account of the history in Christian times of that perverted way of the soul which we call magic, or (on a lower level) witchcraft, and with the reaction against it. That they tend to deal more with the lower level than with any nobler dream is inevitable. The nobler idea of virtue mingled with power either worked itself out eventually as experimental science (but the extent to which experimental science was at any time denounced has probably been exaggerated), or it was kept carefully secluded in its own Rites (and to know these one would have had to share them), or it did in fact degenerate into base and disgusting evils (as I have here and there tried to suggest). No-one will derive any knowledge of initiation from this book; if he wishes to meet 'the tall, black man' or to find the proper method of using the Reversed Pentagram, he must rely on his own heart, which will, no doubt, be one way or other sufficient."--From the preface.
