The Hearth: Old Ways and Celtic Witchcraft is not a modern reinvention or a soft-edged spiritual comfort text. It is a return — fierce, poetic, and unflinching — to the relational, animistic worldview of the early Celtic world. Through myth, folklore, language, ritual craft, and the lived experience of a practitioner, this book restores witchcraft to its bones: a path of sovereignty, reciprocity, and the wild intelligence of land and spirit. Here you will find no borrowed platitudes, no melted-together pantheons, and no tidy promises of enlightenment. Instead, you will encounter the gods as the ancestors once did: many, powerful, and alive; the land as a breathing presence; magic as a dialogue of word, breath, and will; and the witch as walker between worlds. This is a book for those who seek depth rather than décor, practice rather than performance, and a path rooted in memory, myth, and the courage to stand between shadow and flame.
