What struck Fiona Horne, witch, rock diva and presenter, on the runaway success of her bestseller, Witch - A Personal Journey was the simple truth that people are searching for personal meaning in their lives, and there was no greater proof than the mountains of feedback she has been responding to ever since the release of her autobiographical account of Wicca. Now, in her companion book Witch - A Magickal Year Fiona reveals even more of the intimate secrets and knowhow of her spiritual calling, including spells and incantations, rituals, festivals and sacred sites, goddesses, gods and familiars, a special chapter on men and witchcraft, cyber witchcraft, creating your own magickal diary and interviews with other witches. Fiona also delves into the daily business of being a modern witch at work, home and play; and how to cope with the spiritual intensity of being a witch. Funky and funny, Witch - A Magickal Year is illustrated with manga-style stories, computer generated photographs and imbibed with Fiona's infectious witchy humour.
