About the author

Lady Belladonna LaVeau, High Priestess of the Covenant of WISE, Church of Wicca, and author of “Awakening Spirit” has been an initiate of Wicca and a devoted Priestess of the Goddess since 1989. She is a talented healer, Reiki Master, ordained minister of the Wiccan faith, Navy Veteran and Dean of the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary.

Lady Belladonna has been a dedicated student of the mysteries her entire life. Raised Mormon, and trained in Gardenarian and Dianic Wicca, she endeavors to honor the truth in all religions by upholding the similarities of faith and spirituality expressed by each. Her work as a High Priestess is to create the space for each individual’s personal awakening. Encouraging them to embrace their own path, and honor their own inner wisdom. As a dedicated Channel and Healer, she acts as a bridge between the worlds for the student to receive guidance and healing from spirit, until the student can learn to access that information on their own. She upholds the sacredness of the divine male and female, and promotes love through understanding the mysteries that compliment and empower us separately and in union.

Lady Belladonna is a talented teacher, author, empathic healer, and psychic, and uses a combination of many different methods in her approach to wellness. Lady Belladonna believes that we are all in a constant state of healing and spiritual evolvement, and she approaches the symptoms of dis-ease from a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual direction. She believes "as above, so below" and therefore all disease originates in your spiritual imprint and must be cleared from the spirit to manifest lasting health in the physical. These spiritual imprints can manifest from current or past-life traumas and combined with your astrological sign can make you more vulnerable to some types of illness than others. Lady Belladonna removes the blockages and facilitates an opportunity for you to get maximum potential out of your existence.

I am very into Metaphysics, on all levels. Linda Goodman, Raymond Buckland, Lao Tzu, Manley Hall, Chakra Systems, Existential Living. This book goes beyond all that. I am sooo exited to see it here on Good Reads! Chakra work, creating your own reality, energy transference, and an excellent resource list. I use the incense recipes in the book at home. They smell great, and she even tells you how to blend the ingredients so that they don't separate. ( which was giving me a hard time ) It is backed by a Wiccan, degree awarding college, Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary; The author being the Dean of the online portion, but it is soymuch more useful then just a Wiccan certification book. I consider myself eclectic, and this book has enriched almost every aspect of my studies. This is a definite buy for anyone who craves an intelligent coverage on Metaphysics.

Wow! Where was this book when I first started on my path as a Witch? This book jumps right to the point of the important lessons to get one started on this path. Practical, informative, well written, and is a great tool to lead you on the path correctly. A must have book for practioners of the Craft.

This is a really great read for learning the basics of Wicca. Bella writes well and provides great insight. This book also helps provide a clear view of the morals of Wicca, which is something that is important to me.

[Cassie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is absolutely the best book (and class) I've read on Wicca and Witchcraft. By far. It teaches you how to really be a witch. I put this book right up there with Cunningham and Starhawk in importance. I CANNOT WAIT for Belladonna Laveau to come out with the follow up books.

Essential to my foundation as a Wiccan. Comprehensive metaphysical training in a book. I used in in conjunction with my school at Wiccanseminary.edu.
