Wild Once

Most of us carry a wild, untamed energy that we rarely use. Wild Once argues that when this force is recognised and cultivated, it can open the way to freedom, creative energy, a clearer sense of purpose and access to the wisdom that lies deepest within. The author, Vivianne Crowley, is known as a witch, a high priestess and a doctor, and the book recounts a life shaped by magic, along with the unfamiliar paths she followed and the spiritual renewal she found by reconnecting with the natural world. Her account conveys what happens when a person is willing to move toward the unexplained and to live without restraint.

Alongside her personal story, the book offers a broad survey of contemporary magical practice. Readers are guided through meditation, manifestation, shamanic work and spellcraft, with a picture of a hidden world that sits close beneath everyday life for anyone who knows where to look. The writing is both atmospheric and detailed, combining memoir with a practical introduction to how these traditions work.

Wild Once is aimed at readers who are curious about magic and want to explore it for themselves, as well as those who are simply interested in what it means to live as a witch today.
