“A masterfully blend of history, mythology, spell work and personal anecdote that beautifully explores the depth and breadth of ‘The Great Queen.’” —Amy Blackthorn, priestess of The Morrigan, and author of Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic“She is the spirit of fury and peace, power and destruction, joy and terror,” writes author Courtney Weber. "She is warrior, queen, death omen, mother, murderer, lover, spy, conspirator, faery, shape-shifter, healer, and sometimes the living earth itself. A captivating contradiction: a demonic female who both haunts and heals; benevolent in one moment, ghastly the next, and kind the moment after that.”The Morrigan is one of Pagan Ireland’s most famous—and notorious—goddesses. Her name translated as “phantom queen” or “great queen,” the Morrigan is famous for being a goddess of war, witchcraft and death, protection and retribution. This book also explores her patronage of motherhood, healing, shapeshifting, and the land. Classified among the Sidhe (fairies), the Morrigan dates back at least to Ireland’s Iron Age, but she is as modern as she is ancient―enjoying a growing contemporary and global following.Author Courtney Weber provides a guide for the modern devotee of this complex, mysterious goddess that encompasses practical veneration with modern devotionals, entwined with traditional lore and Irish-Celtic history.

This book offers a unique historical lens on the pentacle, one of the most iconic symbols in human history, showcasing its evolution from a formidable talisman to a cornerstone of modern witchcraft.Long before it was a symbol of religious identity or even a stylish fashion choice, the pentacle and its many variations served as powerful talismans, linked to and used by numerous esoteric orders. It was a tool for summoning spirits, creating magick, and casting spells. By creating and using a pentacle, a practitioner could establish a shorthand language with the spirit world and shape the physical world into one the practitioner wanted to see.Drawing heavily from ancient texts like The Key of Solomon, Pentacle: The Shape of Power unveils the history and purpose of the five-sided star. Far from a village witch’s simple aid, the pentacle was a “diagram for magick,” a means for the ceremonial magician to transcend the mundane and tap into profound energies.Explore the rich history, intricate symbolism, and powerful applications of the pentacle, from its earliest known instructions to its use in protection, divination, and ritual. Pentacle: The Shape of Power dives into the secrets of this often-misunderstood symbol, revealing its enduring power and significance in the world of true magick.
