Out of the Shadows:
So often darkness is associated with evil. Since the term evil has no place in a nature-based religion, Pagans are forced to look beyond such stereotypes.
But what then is "darkness"? Why are so many of us drawn to themes associated with darkness such as death, mystery, wisdom, magic, and the night? These themes and symbols are empowering to many of us because they tap into the deepest reaches of our unconscious.
The goal of this book, which is a culmination of over 16 years of study and practice, is to not only share the author's views on Dark Paganism and spirituality, but to encourage and challenge you to personalize your own belief system.
While the first part explores the aspects and spirituality of darkness, the second part of this book discusses the nature and practice of magic by exploring the underlying principles at work.

Witch-Children: From Salem Witch-Hunts to Modern Courtrooms
This book looks at a number of historic witch trials, including those of Salem (Massachusetts), England, Sweden, Austria, and the German territories, and argues that throughout history, children's stories have sent innocent people to death, from 16th and 17th century hysteria over demonic possession to present day courtrooms where innocent adults are accused of ritual cult abuse and molestation. Sebald maintains that the classic "Salem syndrome" is anything but past history.
Demon Lovers: Witchcraft, Sex, and the Crisis of Belief:
Throughout the centuries of witch trials in Europe, many Christian thinkers were interested (perhaps a little too interested) in a certain recurring theme of the witches' testimonies: their stories of sex with demons. Perusing 15th- and 16th-century writings on witchcraft from various European countries, Stephens argues that theories of demon copulation are more than just expressions of ambivalence toward female sexuality: they were vital to Christian thought, a way for theologians to resolve perennial questions about the existence of God and the supernatural.

Lost Books of Merlyn: Druid Magic from the Age of Arthur
Highly recommended by readers, for example Pansy writes: "I am actually glad that alot of people don't think this book is serious, because that empowers me even more! Just like in any religious belief, you must believe with the mind of a child! Otherwise, it will never work for you! Magic is preformed with your heart, and with a mind that is able to accept fairies, unicorns etc... consist of many lessons that are only reconizable to chosen minds. As it is written, 'Many are called, but few are chosen.' Douglas Monroe, I think he did a marvelous job at presenting a vehicle for those very few chosen people! Believe what you will, but 'MERLYN' changed my life forever!"
Brings readers to a higher level of awareness, insight, clarity, responsibility, faith, manifestation, and powerful success--far beyond training found in Wicca 101.
