Shadow magick occupies a critical but often misunderstood role in the rich history of witchcraft. Exploring topics such as the ethical use of animal parts and bones, blood magick, dark-moon energy, and other rarely discussed aspects of witchcraft. With a focus on ethically sourcing materials and suggestions for plant-based substitutions, Kate Freuler provides much-needed information and hands-on techniques to help you strengthen your witchcraft practice, connect to nature, protect yourself, and your kith and kin, and deeply know yourself. Within these pages, you will also discover methods for hexing, scrying, sex magick, and working with dark deities in addition to the magickal use of graveyard dirt and performing spells to assist the crossing of a dying loved one. The shadow works explored in Of Blood and Bones remind us that not everything is love and light and that facing the dark side supports the quest to achieve spiritual wholeness.
