Finally, The Truth About the Scottish Tradition of the Craft


Scottish Witchcraft

From the ancient misty Highlands of Scotland to modern-day America come the secrets of solitary Witchcraft practice. Scottish Witchcraft explores "PectiWita," or the craft of the Picts, the mysterious early Keltic people. The Scottish PectiWita tradition differs in many ways from the Wicca of England: There is little emphasis on the worship of the gods (though it is there), but more on the living and blending of magick into everyday life.

Many people attracted to modern-day Wicca are unable to contact or join a coven.. PectiWita is a path for the solitary Witch; and here, for the first time, are full details of this solitary branch of the Old Ways. Learn the history of the Picts, their origins and beliefs. Learn how to make simple tools and use them to work magic. Explore their celebrations, talismans, song and dance, herbal lore, runes and glyphs, and recipes. Join Ray Buckland as he breaks new ground in modern-day Witchcraft and gives you simple step-by-step instructions to bring you in touch, and then into complete harmony, with all of nature.* with many pictures and drawings

Who were the Picts?

This fascinating book deals with two subjects that have intrigued people for generations: Witchcraft and the Picts. Little is known about the Picts; however, this book is based on information taught by a descendant of these early Keltic peoples.

The Picts were eventually absorbed into what became Scotland, yet many of their individual traits and peculiarities have survived into the modern day. For example, the Picts were well-versed in herbal lore, both for medicinal purposes and as a means of survival in the wild Highlands in the north of Britain. This is one aspect of their Craft presented here. Their ways of divining - of looking into the future - are similarly included.

Witchcraft, far from being a dark, negatively-influenced path of malevolence, is in fact an extremely positive method of self-development and natural harmony. You will learn how Wita, or Wicca, ties in with the current ecology movement, and how Pictish Witans attune themselves to all aspects of nature: animal, vegetable, and mineral!

Along with the practical applications of Pictish Witchcraft are numerous tales culled from the folklore of Scotland, attesting to the old beliefs in spirits, gods, and magick. Traditional celebrations of the season are given, as are the reasons behind many of the age-old practices.

Through this book you will be able to understand the ancient ways but, perhaps more importantly, you will be able to practice these old magicks and become a part of the world of positive belief we call Wicca today.*
