Whenever we pick up a book or begin a conversation about witchcraft today, it is impossible to avoid an early discussion about the magic circle. This fundamental concept in Wicca—and ceremonial or ritualised magic— is used in a variety of techniques to separate sacred space and contain energy within. In other uses, the circle is formed to protect the necromancer while spirits are summoned. Perhaps the most elementary ritual process of much of modern witchcraft, Wicca, and occult practices, there remains little to be said upon the subject. By contrast, the compass of Traditional Witchcraft is a tool for location, positioning the witch within an ensorcelled worldview and a mythological map. In addition, it provides the ritual means to traverse the worlds, enabling spirit congress and a mythic landscape that can be accessed at any point in time and space. Through experience and use, the compass is an expansive cosmological model of mystical and magical operation. As a Ring of Art, it may occasion an appearance similar to that of the magic circle in form. However, the purpose and basis of the compass are far greater than the sum of its parts, unifying the Hermetic idiom: “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above.” The purpose of this book is to explore the historic and cultural usage of the witches’ compass of the winds, “airts compass,” as it has been worked through the years by different groups and individuals, presenting a magical worldview that becomes a necessary part of Traditional Witchcraft today. The Witch Compass seeks to introduce you to the compass of the eight winds as it is used, through myth and magic, to enable a direct and experiential work with the inherent spirits of witchery. The ambition of The Witch Compass is nothing short of sorcery: the ensorcelling of the witches’ compass as a means of travelling to the Grand Sabbath and engaging directly with the spirit of the Devil, the Father of Witchcraft, in order to effect change by working with and through Dame Fate, the triple-faced Queen of the Witches.
