Free Kindle Books About Wicca

I'm always "Liking" things on Facebook and one of them is The Pagan Writers Community. This morning they sent out a post about a free kindle book about Wicca. I like anything that's free, so when I saw those perfect four letters in a row, my eyes stopped to read more. This is what I saw:

Mark Carter: "Check it out. Gerald Gardner's novella 'High Magic's Aid' is free for Kindle users today. Be sure to grab it. It's a key piece of modern pagan history and it's actually better written than most people realize."
So, I went over and found High Magic's Aid on Amazon.com. The paperback is regularly priced $18-19 (depending if you bought it  used). The kindle is regularly priced $8.99. So this is a great deal! I downloaded it!

Now, let me take a step back and mention that I don't even own a Kindle! But what I do have is the free kindle app for my cell phone. You can get free Kindle reading apps that will even allow you to read these free ebooks right on your computer!

Of course, this got my mind turning and I wondered how many other free Kindle books about Wicca there were. I ended up downloading 11 free Kindle books about Wicca or Paganism! I think a couple of them were stories that featured Pagan and Wiccan characters, and others were more for learning. I basically did a search in the Kindle section of Amazon for "Wicca" and then sorted by price, and all the free Kindle books were right on the first pages! But if you click right on the link to the word Amazon you'll get right to that page.

So, go grab some free Kindle books about Wicca and then let me know how you liked them!

Magical Things In The Most Unmagical Places

It's really "funny" how once you have decided to walk down a certain  path, or put the intentions out that you want to learn about something new, that things can pop up anywhere. For example, I was at CVS yesterday to pick up my son's medicine and I walked by the small book shelf near the pharmacy. I've decided that I want to learn more about herbs for healing, and refresh myself on everything I learned in an aromatherapy course I took several years ago. I felt drawn to stop and look at this small book shelf and low and behold.. right out in front, where these two small books.

The New Guide To Remedies
Homeopathy - Essential Oils - Crystals - Home Remedies
This is a small book, about 4 inches by 5 inches, and 250 pages. And it's AWESOME! I love the detailed information that it provides for every herb you ever wanted to know about, every essential oil worth having, and it tells you all about all the different crystals and how to use them.




Complete Well-being
A guide to symptoms and cures
This must have book is also small, about 4 inches by 5 inches, and 250 pages. It can easily fit into a purse or bag. The first part of the book is an alphabetical listing of every common ailment and some not so common ones, and then tells you all the things you can do to cure it, including herbs, vitamins, aromatherapy, homeopathy, and medical treatments. Then it talks about all these different kinds of treatments, from acupuncture to reflexology, to yoga and laughter therapy, and more.


But, it's so true, that you can find magical things anywhere and everywhere, if you just look, stay alert and open, and if you are ready to receive it. Some of my favorite places to shop are the dollar stores, where I can get altar decorations sooo cheap, and even cute little boxes and jars for witchy things, or frames to hold witchy pictures, and so much more! One thing is for sure, you don't need to be rich to be a witch! LOL!

Brightest Blessings,
