The Plant Spirit Familiar
Green Totems, Teacher and Healers on the Path of the Witch
Just as many people experience wisdom and healing with animal totems and guides, a similar relationship can be cultivated with the spirits of the plant world. Witches, shamans and healers know about the intelligence, love and power found within the herbs and trees, and learn to partner with them as totems and spirits guides. Witches have called such guiding spirits familiars, as they act as intermediaries between the worlds. The Plant Spirit Familiar is filled with herbal lore, rituals, meditations and magick, but more importantly, it is an invitation to open the gateway to the Green World.
While taught from the perspective of nature based spirituality rooted in the European traditions of magick, one does not need to be a Witch or Pagan to experience the blessings of the green world or work with plant familiars. It is open to all seekers. Learn about the three types of plant allies, the healing plants known as balms, the power plants known as banes and the spirit teachers found in the wise old trees. Work with the Green Man and the Lady of Flowers and enter the Soul Garden. Create sacred space for healing, meditation and shamanic journey, calling upon the plant spirits as guardian. Seek spiritual initiation from the plant world through ritual and sacrament. Deepen your spiritual connection with the Earth by growing roots strong within the land.
The Plant Spirit Familiar includes:
- History of the Familiar Spirit
- Flower Essences Creation and Use
- Shamanic Dreaming with Plant Spirits
- The Doctrine of Signatures
- Green Blessing Oil
- Balms, Banes and Tree Teachers
- Plant Spirit Healing
- Crafting the Wand
- Ointments and Unguents

"I suspect I will not be the only one gasping with recognition while reading The Plant Spirit Familiar. The Call of the Green resonates powerfully for so many of us, especially those walking the Witch’s path. As for newcomers: welcome! There is no better guide to this mysterious, magickal realm than Christopher Penczak."
- Judika Illes, from her Forward, Author of The Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells, The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Pure Magic.
" The Plant Familiar Spirit, is a fascinating journey down the shadowy green path of the occultist. Serious herbalists and magicians will find this book to be both thought provoking and provocative."
- Ellen Dugan, author of, Garden Witch's Herbal, Practical Protection Magick, and Natural Witchery.
"The Plant Spirit Familiar is a must read for all Green Witches and even for those not on the Wiccan path this book is chocked full of green wisdom that will inspire anyone who recognizes plants as teachers, guides and friends. Penczak fills the pages with potions, rituals and engaging exercises guiding you to respond to what he refers to as the "call of the green". When you finish this book you will feel as if you've been initiated into the ancient order of the green nation."
- Pam Montgomery author of Plant Spirit Healing and Partner Earth; A Spiritual Ecology
"Those who we nowadays refer to as 'witches' were the wise men and women who other cultures call 'shamans' and who had a detailed knowledge of plants, healing and 'magic'. Penczak's work is a wide-ranging introduction to plant magic and will be a useful guide for those who wish to expand their magical, healing or herbal knowledge and begin working in the tradition of the plant spirit shaman".

The Three Rays of Witchcraft $19.99
Inspired by a Vision of Awen depicting a spear, a flowering branch and a horned serpent emanating from three drops of wisdom and surrounded by three worlds, Christopher Penczak received a teaching to reconcile many of the disparate parts of modern Witchcraft into a cohesive body of magickal lore for personal evolution and enlightenment. This teaching was experimented with, expanded upon and are now shared through this work, The Three Rays of Witchcraft: Power, Love and Wisdom in the Garden of the Gods.
Striving to bring all the threads of his personal practice together, including such diverse topics as modern Wicca, Traditional Craft, Druidism, Theosophy, Qabalah, Shamanism and alternative health, the Three Rays provided a powerful framework to artistically synthesize many different techniques and theologies into a greater tapestry. The text outlines a model of the universe based upon the forces of Power, Love and Wisdom. Associated with each is a path, a ray, that we can travel spiritually and evoke energetically. Known as the Straight Line, the Bent Line and the Crooked Line, each offers different opportunities of magick, knowledge and initiation. Each ray is associated with a race of spiritual entities with whom we can partner, including the angels, faeries and creatures of flesh and blood, including the animal powers and ancestors.
Set in a grimoire style of poetic tradition, The Three Rays of Witchcraft includes the following material:
- Three Inner Cauldron Workings
- Working with the Seven Wanderers
- Blessing and Cursing
- Triune Divinity of Divine Mind, Heart and Will
- Protection Magick
- Faery Contact
- Paths of Initiation
- Prosperity Magick
- Communion with the Hidden Company
- The Witch's Tonic
- Angelic Contact
- The Three Ray Cord
- Vision of the Great Between
- The Garden of the Gods Ritual
"Christopher Penczak has done it again - The Three Rays of Witchcraft is simply amazing. Whether one is just starting to explore the world of witchcraft or has been around the block a few times doesn't matter - there is something here for everyone. Christopher presents unique and compelling concepts in a wonderfully intelligent manner. But wait there's more - unlike many other pagan authors Christopher does his homework. There is more solid information in the Introduction alone than in the sum total of other books on the subject. The Three Rays of Witchcraft is a must have for any serious occult library."
- Jimahl, Alexandrian High Priest and author of A Voice in the Forrest and Talk to Me
"Christopher Penczak has drawn together material from diverse pagan roots and magical sources, blended in the cauldron of his own experience and shaped by the light of his vision and inspiration to present a coherent and vibrant system of practice. The theology of his work is syncretic and inclusive, opening the gates of the three worlds and inviting the reader to walk the paths of power, love and wisdom and find their own way. It is an offering full of angels and fairies, gods and humans, diverse yet connected and each with their own powers and wisdom. This book has strength in its mutability, presenting practical material that is easily adapted, and it will surely be one of the most enchanting flowers in the Garden of the Gods. " -Sorita d'Este, Author of Hekate Liminal Rites, Practical Planetary Magick, The Guises of the Morrigan and founder of Avalonia Books.
"Christopher Penczak is an expert at the art of synthesis, bringingdisparate elements together to form a whole that sheds new light on the Mysteries with unique and relevant perspectives. In The Three Rays he uses that skill to bring ancient and obscure Lore to light in a way that makes it fresh and relevant for the modern practitioner." - Peter Paddon, Author of a Grimoire for Modern Cunning Folk, Host of the Crooked Path podcast and founder of Pendraig Publishing.
THE WITCHES COIN $17.95 US
Prosperity and money are the most requested goals of many beginning spell casters. Witches seek to live in balance and trust the Goddess and God to provide what is needed, but also must take an active role in creating our own success.
New Age Retailer Review
www.llewellyn.com
This is a perfect post-holiday book. As people face a stack of credit card bills and post-celebration, dark-of-winter doldrums, a discussion of what prosperity really is and how it can be achieved will be very appealing. The author’s answers, while not a magic panacea, will move readers back onto the road of hopefulness and self-determination. (“The secret is the paradox of simultaneously being focused on your goal, putting all the necessary energy into manifesting it, but not being attached to the outcome. It’s the mix of will and surrender.”)
Penczak draws on basic psychological common sense, energy work, and Universal Law. The subtleties of the writing contain very sophisticated, but clearly communicated, metaphysical philosophy. The book is dense with information about many subjects (chakras, astrology, Feng Shui, spells, potions, etc.) that serious practitioners will find useful, but it is written in a manner to provide easy access for beginners. (“Nature is both bountiful and dangerous. When we think we are entitled to something, we stop working.”) There are also many esoteric teachings hidden within discussions of more mundane matters. The astute reader will learn much.
The Inner Temple of Witchcraft $19.95
The foundation of the series is found in The Inner Temple of Witchcraft. Rather than focus on rituals and spells before understanding the inner workings of magick and psychic abilities, The Inner Temple provides a thorough course in understanding and directly experiencing magick, developing the inner world skills and psychic “muscles” to continue onward with success. The program outlined emphasizes introspection, meditation and the development of magickal and psychic abilities that are the birthright of the witch. It involves the “oracular” mysteries of psychic development. Four introductory chapters present the history, traditions and principles of witchcraft, followed by thirteen structured lessons starting with basic meditation techniques and culminating with the self-initiation ceremony for the First Degree of the Temple of Witchcraft.
The Outer Temple of Witchcraft $19.95
Create the Outer Temple – your own ritualized sacred space where you sand between the world and create your reality. Expresing your own creativity with a thorough knowledge of magickal theory you will create your own spells of protection, love, prosperity and health. You will have the skills to design your own spells.
The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft $19.95
Working with the “ecstatic” mysteries to move beyond the flesh, the methods of trance found in witchcraft parallel those of shamanism – focus, drumming, dancing, isolation, pain, pleasure and herbal substances. Four introductory chapters outlining the similarities, differences and shared history are followed by a thirteen lesson course in the practical arts of the shamanic witch, with exercises, assignments and helpful tips.
The Temple of High Witchcraft $19.95
The Temple of High Witchcraft has been described as “the Craft meets High Magick” as it explores the shared history and purpose of Qabalistic Ceremonial Magick and witchcraft. Many witches looking to go forward in spiritual evolution study the essentials of ceremonial magick, but often find theological conflict with a magickal tradition with its roots in Judeo-Christian mysticism. This text explores the deeply interwoven relationship between pagans and magickal Qabalah, and its influence on the modern Craft, presenting the essential concepts in a way that is compatible with witchcraft. Again four introductory chapters outline the history, similarity and basic practices, followed by thirteen lessons, each one based upon a sphere of the Tree of Life. Each lesson includes its correspondences, an understanding of its spiritual vision, a form of magick and a ceremony in its classic form and reconstructed in a more pagan friendly format.
The Living Temple of Witchcraft Volume I $21.95
Journey further down the path of mystery, ministry and magick. The Living Temple of Witchcraft: Part I is a thought provoking guide and valuable tool for personal transformation.

Christopher Penczak is a true teacher of the mysteries. - Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author, of The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft & Wicca .
The Living Temple of Witchcraft Volume II $23.95
The Journey of the God
Spirit – The sixth of the Temple series
What a pleasure and most certainly a privilege it was to keep company with and listen to Christopher Penczak’s lessons/workshop/ lectures; his humour is marvellously universal; and better still, funny. I was impressed and the opinion that the good teachers of the Craft have always been at their best when young was once again confirmed. Christopher is a vibrant man with vast knowledge and understanding of the mysteries. He has none of the pomposity which is so apparent in many public Craft speakers. – Maxine Sanders, Alexandrian Elder and author of Firechild
Ascension Magick $21.95
Taking a magickal approach to this often misunderstood spirituality, Christopher Penczak explores the fascinating path of ascension. Ascension Magick unveils the diverse mystical roots of ascension, and highlights where the beliefs and practices of today's "light workers" intersect with those of modern pagans, witches, and magick practitioners. It also examines the practical side-various forms of magick, energy healing, meditation, past life regression, channeling, dowsing-and provides helpful meditations, spells, and exercises. From angels and aliens to reincarnation and the Merkaba, Penczak leaves no stone unturned in this remarkably
thorough and absorbing examination of ascension spirituality and magick.

Magick of Reiki $16.95

How are modern magick practitioners using Reiki energy in their spells and rituals? Christopher Penczak answers these questions and more in his groundbreaking examination of Reiki from a magical perspective. The history, mythos, variations, and three degrees of Reiki are discussed in depth. Penczak also suggests way to integrate Reiki and magical practice, such as using Reiki energy for psychic development and with candle magick, crystals, herbs, charms, and talismans.
Instant Magick $13.95
What if you could practice magick anytime, without the use of ceremonial spells, altars, or magickal tools? Items such as candles, special ingredients, and exotic symbols are necessary to perform many types of magick, but these items aren't always feasible, attainable, or even available. The purest form of magick-tapping into your own energetic awareness to create change-is accessible
simply through the power of your will.
Sons of the Goddess $15.95
If you are a young man who is looking for a book that addresses the path of Wicca from the perspective of a young man and is written specifically with the young man in mind, this book is a great starting place and a good reference tool. I feel Mr. Penczak has done an excellent job covering an aspect of Wicca that has not been directly addressed before. It is clearly written, well illustrated and the focus is excellent. This would also be a good choice for any parent whose young man is looking for the first time at the path of Wicca and wants something that specifically
addresses his needs. – The Wiccan Pagan Times 2005
Gay Witchcraft $19.95
If you are a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender occultist - you need to buy this book. Period. If you are a Craft teacher - you need to buy this book. Period. The rest of you can buy it or not - but trust me, you're the one who will be missing out.....There is
nothing more anyone could write on the subject without being redundant. In my opinion, Christopher Penczak has written the first great Craft book of the 21st century. - Horns and Crescent
Spirit Allies $16.95

the pulse of city-life. - New Age Nexus
