Hello Dear Readers,
Just earlier this evening a friend of mine who is a witch, came over to my home and informed me that Raymond Buckland had passed away 2 days ago. He was 83 a good long life.
He wrote many informative books on Wicca and the Supernatural starting in 1969 with "A Pocket Guide to to the Supernatural followed by "Practical Candle Burning" I consider this work and his work on advance candle burning to be a must purchase.
And all his works are of value to be added to anyone's metaphysical book shelf.
Wikipedia gives a partial listing of his books, and he mostly focused on Wicca and Witchcraft and not on Conjure, but his works on Candle Burning are of great help when one wants to do a far more ritualistic candle working.
He also wrote on other metaphysical subjects which any practitioner of the work should at least read to have comprehension of all the energies that are out there, I've always said "Forewarned is Forearmed" and his is excellent educational works.
It is my understanding that although he was initiated into the Garderian Path of Wicca in his later years he worked as a Solitary Wiccan.
He created a museum of witchcraft which is to my understanding currently located inside of A Separate Reality Records in the Tremont, Cleveland neighborhood.
Buckland formed his own Wiccan tradition called Seax-Wica which is based upon symbolism taken from Anglo-Saxon paganism. If you are interested in his works go to
www.raymondbucklandbooks.com/ I hope that link works, I do know that if you type it in you will go to that site.
The world is a little less brighter today with losing such a dedicate man to Wicca and Witchcraft.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
