Join modern-day Warlock Christian Day, author of The Witches' Book of the Dead, as he reveals the Magic of Place—the oldest and most powerful collaborator in any working, and the one ally most practitioners never think to ask. From the ancients who raised their temples upon places of power to Hecate honored at the crossroads where the worlds and the dead draw near, the wise have always known that the ground beneath our feet is alive.
The spirit of a place—its genius loci—is, in truth, a congregation of its dead and the gathered will of all who ever worked, prayed, suffered, or died upon that ground. Drawing on a lifetime spent walking between the witch-haunted streets of Salem, the spirit-soaked crossroads of New Orleans, and the deathless temples of the Nile, Christian reveals how each place speaks its own magical dialect—and how the serious practitioner learns to speak back, turning the ancient power of the land toward the change you seek, be it justice, protection, abundance, or love.
In This Workshop: - Learn to read the genius loci of any ground you stand upon - Court the spirit of a place and earn its blessing before you cast - Match your working to the ground that was born to perform it - Carry the power of a place home through graveyard dust, sacred water, and your own altar of place
Dare to stop treating place as the backdrop to your magic and summon it as the formidable ally it has always been—for you are always standing upon someone's ground, within earshot of someone's dead.
