A wand is a tool used in Wicca and other forms of magick study. Its main purpose in any form is to center and focus energy. A wand can be useful in creating a circle, cleansing an object or area, protecting, defense, and, if necessary, to attack (but of course only as a defense mechanism.

Soulmates by Jeffrey Fritts
The majority of hopeless romantics out there believe in the concept of a soulmate - a single person who we are uniquely compatible with and for whom we're capable of feeling a deeper love than we are with any other human being. Being a hopeless romantic myself, this topic is near and dear to my heart - and a quest that I've personally explored for the majority of my life.

A Qabalistic Interpretation of Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham
A delightfully silly deconstruction of the Dr. Seuss book.

Little Witches by Jeffrey Fritts
I looked up from what I was
doing. My daughter held a
quartz crystal a friend of
mine had given me long ago.
I'm particularly picky about
the stones I work with -
either I connect with them or
I don't - and in this case I had
never been drawn to this
particular stone's energy. So
the piece of quartz had been
passed onto my children,
living life as a unicorn's horn
before finding its way onto
the corner of a bookshelf in
their room.

Ceremony for the Troops in the Gulf for Safety and Victory
I'm a bit vague why the author doesn't just invoke Mars and ask for some righteous smiting. After all, the people these soldiers are fighting have their own gods of whom they are very likely wishing the same. I am sure the gods get tired being petitioned in this way, but in the interest of completeness, we happily oblige. It seems that, if one is stressing the protection aspect, this could be a very effective ritual.

Third Degree Initiation (1957)
Just the ceremony for the person that wants to tie people up, give them the five fold kiss, and hit them with whips while reading bad poetry. As a nice added bonus, this ritual tells you just where to place a girls nether regions. You girls just don't know how to sit properly, evidently.

Teen Witch by Orb Thesela
When I did pick it up again I found myself asking things about the book which I hadn't dreamed of thinking at the tender age of 14. So let me state now, what I tried to do with this was review the book and its contents fairly and impartially. I am not trying to insult Silver Ravenwolf nor am I trying to say she is Goddess's gift to Wicca.

Candle Blessing
A quick incantation to say over candles one is making. I thik the point is to boost the ego of the wax.

Bardic Beltaine
Another bit of verse by the White Bard. It is formulaic if you have read any of his other holiday rituals, but ths doesn't make it inappropriate in the least. This ritual is Celtic and involved calling the watchtowers.

Candlemas Ritual, White Bard
This ritual focuses more heavily upon the script than the magickal aspects, but this may suit some people. As is often the case, with White Bard's word, the ritual is nicely written.

Candlemas Ritual
A Celtic reconstruction Candlemas ritual requiring the involvement of eight people. Aside from the crystal ball, all of the materials listed should be fairly easy to acquire on short notice. A pleasant and lyrical script that tries to make use of all the participants, though especially the Maiden who will play the part of Brighid.

Samhain Notes
If you are going to invite the Dread Lord of Shadows to eat candy corn, this would be the appropriate way. It does include the Five Fold Kiss and ends with the Great Rite (some people just have to add that in to every ritual...), both of which can make outsiders an newbies a bit uncomfortable. This is quite obviously thus a ritual that should be performed in a group with which you are already decidedly intimate. Celtic flavored. Rather a good Samhain ritual that could easily be adapted to a smaller group.

Magick in Theory and Practice
The complete text to Aleister Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice. It is an important text no matter your feelings on the man. However, it should be noted that it is written in his characteristic (arrogant) style.
