Evolutionary Witchcraft is a life-changing path of power-a book for
all spiritual seekers in today's spiritually uncertain times. Moved to
share her knowledge and power with the world of the potent and secretive
Feri Tradition, T. Thorn Coyle has created an extraordinary book on her
own evolutionary, and ever-evolving form of witchcraft. For the
beginner and mature practitioner alike, Evolutionary Witchcraft is an
unprecedented and comprehensive guide to the Craft.
We need to connect, to find the sacred in our lives right now,
rather than on some future day of transcendence and redemption. In a
time of global and environmental crises, a religion that firmly connects
us to the earth is not only appealing, but crucial. In Evolutionary
Witchcraft (Tarcher - Penguin hardcover/October 1, 2004), Coyle invites
us to uncover the dignity of our souls, to connect with both the natural
world and realms unseen to wholly embrace ourselves and see what
emerges from that crucible of contradictions: strength, compassion,
generosity, joy, darkness, and light. It calls us to our wild, magical
core-the source to transform our selves and the world.
"This engagingly written work is a thoughtful and creative
interpretation of Feri Witchcraft. It is also an important, practical
and empowering guide to the dangerous and fruitful real magic of
self-work as an evolutionary path to the Divine".
-Phyllis Curott, author of The Love Spell. Book of Shadows, and WitchCrafting
"T. Thorn Coyle has drawn together an immense amount of material
into a coherent, deep and profound approach to personal development
through a Feri spiritual path. The book reflects her own journey, her
integrity, and her wisdom in guiding others. For anyone seeking to
develop or deepen a personal practice, this book is invaluable".
- Starhawk, author of The Spiral Dance and The Earth Path.
Library Journal
In this engaging and detailed book, Coyle, a
sought-after practitioner of witchcraft, incorporates her knowledge and
experience of different spiritual paths (even drawing upon her
studies with Sufi whirling dervishes) with the elusive Feri Tradition
of Witchcraft, an oral tradition generally taught only to chosen
initiates. Written for both newcomers and the experienced, the book is
certainly not appropriate for the spiritual dilettante. It's set up
more as a magical workbook. Each of the ten main chapters is designed
to be a month's worth of introspective investigation loaded with
meditations, exercises, devotional dances (fully illustrated), and
rituals for daily practice. While many magical books promise readers
fantastic results with little effort, this book is an honest, intense
guide to "expanded humanity and divinity." In the words of Feri
Tradition founder Victor Anderson, "Anything worthwhile is dangerous,"
indicating that awakening the divine in you is an ongoing struggle that
doesn't come easily but is definitely worth the effort. A refreshingly
creative work that embraces spirituality as a process of continuous
change and practice, this is recommended for most spirituality or New
Age collections.-Mimi Davis, Broward Cty. Lib. Syst., Fort Lauderdale,
