This book shows us the potential for a modern Wicca based on the lives of the pre-Christian Pagans, a Wicca where the structure is founded on the natural bonding of a couple, rather than the seclusion of the solitary practitioner or the confines of a coven. Wicca for Couples not only includes rituals for handfasting, Wiccaning and hand parting, but also a discussion of how these sacred rituals have been almost trivialized in Wiccan culture and what steps we can take to return their sanctity. This book demonstrates how our rituals imitate life and how the living of that life is infinitely more important than what one does in formal circle.

About Author:

From A.J. Drew site (www.ajdrew.com/about/):

"In July of 2006, I suffered a near fatal electrocution resulting in a moderate traumatic brain injury and a bit of nerve damage. At the onset of recovery, it became clear that not only had I lost entire portions of my memory but I'd become a different person. In an effort to hide from the challenges of sensory overload and other new challenges, I left public life and found seclusion in the foot hills of Kentucky.

Although many thought and a few hoped that I had died due to the electrocution, I have spent the years building my new life. I am, in essence, a new person with new ideas and an entirely new and positive take on life. While we are all slaves to one thing or another, I have shed the shackles of convention. More by injury than choice, I no longer feel the mandates to live within the confines of conventional dictates.

Here in the foot hills of Kentucky, my family and I are building a new life as close to land and life that the Creator intended. It is our great hope that by living this way, we will impart a sense of earth stewardship and love of all life to our children."
