An excerpt from my book Cunning Words: a Grimoire of Tales and Magic independently published by me. Cunning Words: a Grimoire of Tales and Magic is a book of witchcraft in three parts. Part I is a collection of stories that connect the seeker to folklore and tales inspired by witchery and lessons written within. Part II is a collection of rhymes that teach specific acts of witchcraft as well as recipes and petitions. Part III is a working guide on using the information provided to build upon your own personal practice as well as charms, rites, and curses extrapolated from the cunning tales. This book is for the most cunning and has been written for the beginner and adept alike. The tales within will introduce you to spirits old and new, the Three Mothers, the Three Wise Healers, The Seven Holy Siblings, and so much more. You can fund my book on Amazon and the barns and noble website. Thank you for supporting independent authors like me.
