Many roads, one destination: that alternate state of consciousness associated with magick and witchcraft. In his book The Gates of Witchcraft, award-winning author Christopher Penczak looks at twelve different paths or “gateways” of consciousness, twelve different ways of changing our consciousness to go deeper and get more in touch with the magick within.

From meditation and breath-work to dance and music, sacred space and sacred vestments, to the Lonely Road of isolation or the Path of Poison of working with herbal allies, The Gates of Witchcraft presents theory, practices, and exercises for exploring the different paths to power in the Craft. Learn all the various aids to help you along the path and take heed of their dangers and shadow-sides. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or a novice finding your way, you will find something to help you along. Step onto the path and open...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Every little bit of magick!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2012

    This book is, perhaps, a compendium of magickal information and exercises to show you all of the ways many aspects of our everyday lives can be turned into a magickal working. Meditating, breathing, dancing, music - just the exercises in these chapters alone will bring you great experiences. You will learn a little bit of everything about all of the paths you can walk to bring magick into your life. Perhaps you are really great at two of them (for me, meditation is one of my best) and several of them you have little or no experience - start with what you feel comfortable with, and experiment with more. Find more paths your life can be made magickal and watch all of the things start to change!

    I love all of Chris's books I've read. I've been a lazy student, but he has been one of the best teachers. I almost lost faith that magick was real and not some fluff and herbs with woo-woo prayers until I read his books and I found the energy, intention, will, and mind set for magick that is changing my life every day now. And this book can show you that magick-making power in everything you do!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have for Any Pagan's Bookshelf!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This book on different ways to induce trance states in Pagan practice is very thorough. In classic Penczak fashion, he has chapters devoted to specific categories of how to induce trance, and within each chapter are different techniques and practices. At some points, I wish he had gone into greater detail, but overall he delivers an incredible resource of tools. He also doesn't shy away from including the more commonly frowned-upon practices such as pain-induced trance, while also giving his opinion that he doesn't recommend that practice.

    I'm blown away by this man's depth of knowledge and ability to convey it in a way that is very accessible to a wide range of students.

    I so admire this author and wish we could be friends in real life.
