Book excerpt: In 'Deepening Witchcraft', the founder of the North Wind Tradition of American Witchcraft offers knowledge a well-informed Pagan needs, going beyond the basics contained in most Wiccan titles and explaining many of the skill which must be developed and honed by the more advanced student of Wicca. Offering up-to-date information on Pagan history, this book also closely examines the religious beliefs of Paganism and its deities, and outlines a solid personal basis for good behaviour in a religion that does not incorporate karma, a vengeful god, or punitive law.
