Vivianne Crowley, a wise Witch and Priestess, has crafted a memoir
of beautifully told tales about her magical and well-lived life
that will awaken the magic within and guide you to the enchanted
adventure that awaits.
*Phyllis Curott, Priestess of Ara, author of The Witches' Wisdom
Tarot*
This is the best book on the experience of magic that I have ever
read, a result made possible by the author's equal prowess as a
scientist and a poet, and her extraordinary variety of training and
practice in different traditions.
*Ronald Hutton, author of The Pagan Religions of the Ancient
British Isles*
Wild Once is a delightful memoir of a magical life, a coming of age
tale of mysteries, secrets, inner awakenings and outer experiences
that offers entry ways into our own untapped potential for the
mystical, beautiful, and sacred. From discovering the hidden life
of nature to casting spells, Vivianne Crowley leads the reader into
some unusual places indeed, and provides a friendly guide to
getting to know their inhabitants. But surely the title is
misleading? The author was clearly wild more than once. And if the
reader of this book hasn't been, she soon will be after reading
it.
*Gary Lachman, former Blondie bassist, author of Aleister Crowley:
Magick, Rock and Roll, and the Wickedest Man in the World, Jung the
Mystic, and The Secret Teachers of the Western World.*
All over the developed world, young people are seeking wisdom,
spirituality, enlightenment. Women in particular have been
reclaiming their identity as witches - clumsily, but also
intuitively, hopefully. There could be no better guide for all such
seekers than Vivianne Crowley. In this heartfelt and often
beautiful memoir, she shares her own story, without dogma, but with
an enormous and tolerant wisdom. Witches, look no further! This is
the guide you need.
