New Releases by Scott Cunningham

Dans son précédent ouvrage, La Wicca, magie blanche et art de vivre, Scott Cunningham exposait les croyances et pratiques fondamentales de cette tradition. Dans La Wicca vivante, il s''adresse à tous ceux qui ont fait consciemment le choix d''intégrer cette forme de spiritualité à leur vie quotidienne. Cet ouvrage traite des différents outils d''apprentissage mis à la disposition du pratiquant, de la célébration des rituels en période de maladie, de l''importance du secret dans la pratique individuelle, des noms magiques, de l''initiation et des mystères. Il met en lumière les bienfaits de la prière quotidienne, de la méditation et, en général, des différents rites wiccas. La Wicca vivante se distingue de tous les autres ouvrages sur le sujet, s''adressant de façon particulière au pratiquant individuel. Ce dernier y trouvera des instruments et des idées nouvelles ainsi qu''une méthode graduée lui permettant de créer sa propre tradition wicca.

The persecution Luke''s readers suffer is evidence that they are legitimate recipients of God''s salvific blessings.
