Found in cultures around the world, the mysteries of witchcraft and the hidden practises of the occult have held an interest for many, and over time the written word has played a vital role in passing on this important information. It's true to say that to truly progress, we must explore. This is why at WitchwareTM I have strived to bring together a collection of books to help people explore the ancient and hidden knowledge associated with magical and spiritual paths.
The UK has a rich heritage in witchcraft and although over the centuries it has been attacked and attempted to be stamped out by religious zealots, it has endured and over time even increased in popularity. Many people are attracted to the mysteries associated with witchcraft and many develop a meaningful spiritual path from exploring it. There is a saying, 'once a witch, always a witch'. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, there is certainly something deep to be found in connecting to 'the old gods'.
My own progression of seeking, philosophising and generally considering consciousness naturally led me to a greater awareness of life's spiritual connections, but I found I needed some kind of belief system to ground it in. Coming from the UK I was naturally attracted to Wicca and witchcraft and in 2015 I chose to align myself through ceremony with the 'Old Religion' and I haven't looked back since. I do now though want to encourage others to seek spiritual knowledge and awareness, because it gives a 'knowing' of life's spiritual connections. This I think is ultimately uplifting (and powerful and grounding). And what better way to encourage seeking this knowledge than to offer books about magical and spiritual awareness.
There is a rising interest in ancient knowledge and pre-Christian beliefs found in Celtic Druidic and Norse and WitchwareTM has related publications to explore.
Also psychic development in clairvoyance and divination have continued to gain interest and study of related subjects such as astrology, stone circles, sacred geometry and sigils and symbols have also gained interest. Books relating to these subjects can be found at WitchwareTM.
But also, there is great amount of wisdom to be found in eastern philosophies, which is why I've included sections on Buddhism and Hinduism.
But WitchwareTM is not only here to facilitate magical exploration. If you fancy a chilling fiction, then why not choose something from either the Gothic Horror or the Horror and Ghost Stories categories?
WitchwareTM aims with it's ever growing book collection to facilitate new discoveries. Each title has been carefully selected to make sure it is suitable for the WitchwareTM collection and laid out in an easy to use set of categories. Try searching using the SEEK page to find something interesting. I hope you enjoy the WitchwareTM collection.
