When Phyllis Curott, a high-powered Manhattan lawyer, began exploring Witchcraft she discovered a spiritual movement that defied all stereotypes.

Engagingly written and rich with detailed rituals, spells, and techniques, this inspirational book traces a modern woman's spiritual journey into a realm of extraordinary experience and enlightenment.
