In the spiritual world of The Night Journey, witchcraft isn't seen as some sort of rarefied practice isolated from the messy mundane world, but as a beautiful, viable, and practical way of living in the world as a person of power and integrity. - Misha Magdalene, author of Outside the Charmed Circle: Exploring Gender & Sexuality in Magical Practice There's a real shortage of good books on advanced witchcraft. The Night Journey - Witchcraft as Transformation is therefore a much-needed new publication aimed at Wiccans and witches who have reached second degree or who are running their own covens. - Lucya Starza, www.badwitch.co.uk A wild ride through Witchcraft of the past, present and future. While so many other books focus on the 'how' of Witchcraft, Aburrow gives us a much-needed dive into the 'why', and champions the diversity that is so necessary for the continuation of the Craft. - Thista Minai, founder of Spectrum Gate Mysteries, author of Casting a Queer Circle: Non-binary Witchcraft and Suffering for Spirit: Empowerment Through Ordeal A cornerstone for every modern Pagan's library, or for anyone at all interested in a valid inner reality and how to develop and cope with and enjoy it. ...This isn't a book for the mystically minded, more a kicking, scratching fight on the road to a modern Wiccan spirituality. - Geraldine Beskin, The Atlantis Bookshop, London, UK. A journey into the inner working of Wicca, ritual, and magic. ...This book will be of special interest to coven leaders or to those who wish to understand the role a healthy coven may play in the lives of a new or seasoned witch. - Tim Landry, anthropologist and occultist. An insightful and accessible guide to the theory and practice of contemporary Pagan witchcraft. - Julia Phillips, Postgraduate Researcher, University of Bristol, author of Witches of Oz and Madeline Montalban, Magus of St Giles. A deep dive into the roots and meanings of contemporary Wiccan and Pagan practices, and how they can be updated for the 21st century. Essential reading for covens and groves. Sabina Magliocco, Professor of Anthropology and Chair, Program in the Study of Religion, University of British Columbia, and author of Witching Culture: Folklore and Neopaganism in America.

Author Information

Yvonne Aburrow has been a Pagan since 1985 and was initiated into Gardnerian Wicca in 1991. They have run their own coven since 2003 and have trained numerous other people in Wicca. They have a degree in Psychology from the University of Lancaster and an MA in Contemporary Religions and Spiritualities from Bath Spa University, where they researched queer spirituality in Paganism and Christianity, dual-faith syncretism, and Pagan attitudes to science. They have written several other books about Paganism, folklore, mythology, and inclusive Wicca. Being bisexual and nonbinary has led to their interest in promoting and developing inclusive Wicca. Being a polytheist has led to an exploration and articulation of Wiccan theology and ethics.
