New Book! Ancient Spells and Incantations: Echoes of Magic Through the Ages and Across Cultures

Pre-Order Now - Coming April 6, 2026

A collection of poetic spells and incantations that recount the rich lives of our ancestors, who were connected across cultures by their experience of the world as a magical place, who shared a belief, and who engaged in magical practices for manifestation, prophecy, love, protection, healing, curses, and even vengeance.

Each page of Ancient Spells and Incantations holds verses adapted from text unearthed through extensive research—grimoires, letters, and trial transcripts from across the ages and around the world. Many of these were tucked away in university libraries, not easily accessible to even one actively in search of them. Enid Baxter Ryce painstakingly researched this collection, finding fragments from across the centuries.

"What an absolutely enchanting book. Whimsical, delightful, filled with magical incantations and spells, yet also so very wise and practical...I was charmed from the moment I started reading and spellbound throughout."
―Rosemary Gladstar, the "godmother of modern herbalism.”
