Apprentice to Power: A Wiccan Odyssey to Spiritual Awakening

by Timothy Roderick

Sharing enchanting tales, meditations, rituals, and magical techniques, neo-pagan Timothy Roderick weaves a colorful introduction to Wicca, Old Europe's earth-centered mystical tradition. Roderick shows how to build a relationship with the divine in all things and access the power of spirit in everyday life. Each chapter begins with a personal account of shamanic magic, continues with an archetypal tale illustrating a theme ("The Secret," "Initiation," "A Golden Reward"), and concludes with exercises to guide readers in their own spiritual practice. Apprentice to Power offers an accessible path toward greater fulfillment, profound change, mystical insights, and even miracles. "One of the most insightful and approachable books on the subject in years." - Patricia Monaghan, author of The Goddess Path and Meditation

Reviews

[Ruby Hollyberry · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is one of the Wiccan authors TO AVOID. Nothing original, a rehash of mislearned ideas. Somebody needed to pay rent, probably.
