Brenda Knight presents this guide to Goth Magick, providing spellcraft instructions, rituals and history of the practice while showing readers how to apply it in the modern world.
I am a poet of the gothic genre, as well as a pagan, so when I saw this book, I had to buy it. It's an interesting read, there's plenty of ideas to inspire you on your magickal path - regardless if you are a goth or not. This book is part of my Darker Path section of my personal library.
At first, I thought this was just another 101, how to give the appearance of being a witch. But it surprised me. Look at it more as how to give your practice a dark twist, for the gothic inclined witch.
The section on sex magick has some great ideas, and I loved the Gothic garden plants list.
Goth Magick focuses on the Norse pantheon, which was a good introduction for me, a devotee of the ancient Greek pantheon. There are basic ritual outlines for connecting to the North, the direction of midnight and winter.
The rituals outlined are just that, the bare boned skeleton of a ritual. But this worked for me, I believe in writing my own, but some fresh ideas never go astray.
If you are an established witch, with a bent towards the dark side, Goth Magick is worth a look.
