Between the Horns

Modern witches have been led astray from the common sense so desperately needed in the craft. Through books, music, and screens, the media has painted a quaint picture of folklore. The witch has not escaped this rebranding. Hollywood has clung to the trope of the evil, demonic hag out to cause disruption and wreak havoc on unsuspecting townsfolk. Elwynn Green removes these stigmas with a no-nonsense approach to practical magic from a traditional foundation. Between the Horns offers an in-depth look at heuristic witchcraft, history and origins of the working, a path from developmental awareness to complex energy workings and encouragement to face the self and break taboos.
