A NOTE FROM DOROTHY: Because of increased sales due to the popularity of purchasing personally autographed books here, all sales are now being handled only by credit card via Pay Pal.
Unfortunately, I am only set up to ship orders within the United States and Canada; international shipments at this point would probably cost you more than the cover price of the book, so I've chosen not to go there.
While products ordered from this site usually ship within 24 hours, they may take up to 14 days to ship. This is not only due to the availability of the product I have at my disposal, but due to my personal availability. Yes, that's right, folks! I handle all the shipping myself - and if I'm on the road for appearances, I can't be here to handle your orders. That being the case, please email me to check product availability, or check my Tour Schedule before placing your order.
Many thanks! Dorothy...

IN PRAISE OF THE CRONE: A CELEBRATION OF FEMININE MATURITY
(Winner of the 2000 COVR Visionary Award for Best Biographical Memoirs. Yes...that's me on the cover!)
If menopause has come to call and you think life is over, think again! Life is only beginning, and it's time for the gala event of the season. It's so important, so fun-filled, and so exciting, that only an elite few make the guest list. This is the Crone's party, and you've been invited. So don some attitude, grab some sass, and kick up your heels. Prepare for the time of your life. It's guaranteed to be a real celebration.
If your doubts cast a shadow on the glorious possibilities, if you don't feel like partying, or if you can't think of one good reason to celebrate - then this is the book for you.
Meet your hostess and mentor, the Personal Crone. Mingle a bit and find your Spirit Self. Discover why the three of you belong together. Learn to balance yourself, gather wisdom, re-claim your life, and make the most of your natural beauty. Then meander into the Crone's kitchen and look through her recipe book. She'll show you how to handle the minor aggravations of menopausal metamorphosis without the help of HRT or prescription drugs.
In Praise of the Crone takes the worn-out notions of menopause and blows them right out of the water. Forget about everything else you've read about this transition, and discover the real gifts the Crone has to offer: feminine wisdom, empowerment, and joy. Explore your past and see why youth is only a dress rehearsal for the rest of your life. Try the Crone's transition-easing meditations, affirmations, spells, rituals, and recipes, and gather wisdom along the way. Sail through hormonal-related symptoms with practical, tried-and-true advice. At the end of the voyage, you'll find self-worth, personal value, fun, and fulfillment. Best of all, though, you'll find the one thing you thought you'd never find again: a genuine reason to celebrate.

THE WHIMSICAL TAROT
(Illustrated by Mary Hanson-Roberts)Childhood images. They are an important part of who we are as individuals, and we each have a collection. We dust them off once in a while and when the time is right, we take them out and play with them. Whether the mind conjures up Puss 'N Boots or Sleeping Beauty, Rumplestiltskin or Cinderella, these images stay with us forever. Often the first introduction to heroism, to right and wrong, and to how the world is designed to work, we share their stories and their lessons with our children, giving them an infinite supply of symbols to draw upon for better living.
While this rich legacy is certainly of consequence, we also owe it to our children to provide them with a firm grasp of the Higher Self. They need to know that it's a real part of them - the part that reveals who they are, where they're going, and what they can accomplish. They need to know it holds answers that can ease their lives and bring about spiritual growth. It's important they understand the wonders of that Self and learn how to access its gifts. Our children can't do that, though, unless we provide them with the necessary tools. The Whimsical Tarot is such a tool.
Based on the childhood imagery of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and common storybook characters, The Whimsical Tarot provides a fresh approach to an old system. Unlike other Tarot systems, it combines the ancient art of story-telling with humankind's fundamental goal - a connection to the Higher Power. Because the images used in this deck are familiar ones and easily retained, no memorization is necessary for efficient use of this tool. The Whimsical Tarot is also unique in that it encourages parent/child interaction, recommending reading time with the child to give them the full benefit of the system.
The accompanying book is divided into two sections, and although designed to be a parent's guide to teaching children to read the Tarot, can easily double as a beginner's guide. Part I simplifies card-reading methodology and eliminates the mysterious air that surrounds the Tarot, leaving nothing to intimidate or discourage the would-be reader. It includes tips for getting the most from the Tarot, suggestions for gaining and keeping the child's interest, interactive exercises for increasing reading skills, and age categorized layouts. Part II discusses the roles of the Major and Minor Arcana, suit symbolism and rulership values. A discussion of individual cards follow, listing the character/s displayed, the name of the associated story, card description and advice.

THE CRAFT: A WITCH'S BOOK OF SHADOWS
Although most of my other books have been geared toward a readership age of twenty and over, I get an exorbitant amount of mail from readers between the ages of eleven and fifteen. The contents of their letters vary, but in each and every one of them I find one common question. It is, of course, "How do I begin?" Because of the legal ramifications of teaching minors, I've always answered this question with the utmost care. I was so careful, in fact, that I all but skirted the entire issue. Of course, I was answering as a parent - a parent who knew full well that another set of parents might not wish for their children to embrace the Craft. But as much as I believed in parental rights, I also believed that all people - regardless of age, environment, or personal background - had the right to an education no matter what knowledge was involved. It's always been quite the dilemma for me, and no amount of pondering has ever made me feel any better about the situation.
At least, not until now.
That being the case, The Craft provides real information and real magical training without fear of legal ramification. Geared toward 'tweens and teens (but suitable for newcomers of any age), it offers a real book of shadows written from an eclectic point of view. Beginning with basic studies, magical theory, and training exercises, it moves forward with instructions for making/obtaining, using and working with magical tools, then builds toward Circle-casting specifics like altar setup, calling the Watchtowers, the blessing of cakes and wine, and so forth. An assortment of miscellaneous chants, spells, and invocations are included, as well as sample rituals, ideas, and recipes for celebrating the Esbats and Sabbats.
You can find The Craft in your local bookstore or order an autographed copy here. Please attach a note stating the name to which you'd like the book autographed.

THE CRAFT COMPANION: A WITCH'S JOURNAL
As I wrote The Craft, I realized that folks would need a place to record exercise notes, track study progress, and plan their spells and rituals. I thought of adding blank pages, but scrapped the idea as soon as it entered my head. The reason was simple. Since most folks absolutely refuse to write in their text books, adding pages that no one would really use was just a waste of paper.
That being the case, something else was necessary. Something entirely different. Something with lots of blank pages that simply begged to be written upon. The answer was a journaling tool of sorts - and to that end, The Craft Companion was born.
While this book can definitely be used to record exercise notes and track magical progress, its usefulness doesn't stop there. Because it contains more than a hundred spells and magical ideas, The Craft Companion goes one step further. It also provides the perfect tool for starting your very first Book of Shadows - and that's something very special, indeed.

ENCHANTMENTS OF THE HEART: A MAGICAL GUIDE TO FINDING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
Love and romance. They are, without a doubt, the strongest driving forces in the human make-up. We dream of them. Hunger for them. And then we set off to search them out. Not just any old love will do, though. We set out to find the love of the century. Something timeless and perfect. Something that's able to cross all boundaries and overcome all obstacles. The same sort of something that made Cinderella and Prince Charming so appealing. All we're looking for is that forever kind of love that makes our hearts pound ninety-to-nothing and leaves us weak in the knees. Is that too much to ask?
More to the point, does it even exist?
Yes! And it's out there for everyone. The reason we don't find it, though, is because as human-beings, we're an impatient sort. We get in a hurry and we don't like to wait. So we talk ourselves into thinking that what we've found is the real thing. We settle for second best. And then we wake up one morning only to discover that Prince Charming - that gallant, handsome man who danced all night and rode the white horse - is really just a frog in disguise.
So, what do we do? How do we disentangle ourselves? More important, how do we keep future frogs from invading our lives and stealing our hearts?
Enchantments of the Heart not only answers these questions, but provides an easy-to-follow magical formula for finding the perfect love. Embroidered with spells, embellished with rituals, and tied with the ribbons of practical advice, it's all you'll ever need to find the love of your life. The one you've searched for so long. That timeless, romantic, delectable liaison guaranteed to leave you breathless, quivering, and begging for more. Yes, it's the one that squelches the most annoying sound in the world. The sound of "ribbit" in the morning!

DANCING THE GODDESS INCARNATE
[co-authored with Kristin Madden]It's often been said that life is but a dance, with the secrets to success being found within its steps. It's simply a matter of knowing when to move and when to be still. When to lead and when to hang on. When to be spontaneous and when to follow the rules. And once we get the hang of it, we're told that the solution to every problem is merely a twirl away. But how do we learn all this stuff? How do we know which steps to take, what moves to make, or when it's time to turn and dip? More importantly, though, is there a way to learn these skills without either tripping over our own feet, or just sitting it out like wall flowers and watching the rest of the world make fools of themselves?
Actually, there is...and it all starts with Dancing the Goddess Incarnate!
Based upon the dances of nine different Goddesses and Their individual lessons, this system makes uncertain stepping a thing of the past. And all you have to do is relax, hang on, and let the Goddess take the lead. In fact, the only thing you'll have to worry about is giving Each equal time on your dance card. In doing so, that hectic pace you've come to know levels out. Your dreams become reality. And while life as you know it does cease to exist, its replacement is something much more wonderful than you ever imagined: a delightful twirl around the dance floor in which every step brings your goals more closely into focus, and well within your grasp.
Jam-packed with over 120 spells, rituals, meditations, and exercises geared toward self-empowerment, Dancing the Goddess Incarnate will forever change your perceptions of Maiden, Mother, and Crone. It will forever change your view of who you are and who you can become. But more than that, it will forever change the way you look at your personal power and how to use it to manifest a life you've only dreamed of - that life you were born to live.
So, hang on tight and let these Goddesses guide you around the floor. Learn Their steps and move to Their rhythms. It won't be long before you're moving to your own beat, your own music, and well on the way to choreographing your own special dance - the one that only you can master - the one only you can bring to the stage of Life!

UTTERLY WICKED: CURSES, HEXES & OTHER UNSAVORY NOTIONS
Hexes, curses and other unsavory notions. Most magical practitioners won't even discuss them. Why? Because they'd much rather find a positive solution that benefits all concerned. And, there's nothing wrong with that.
Occasionally, though, our problems are such that nothing in the positive solution arena will handle them. It's time to make a decision to stand tough, be strong, and take definitive action to defend ourselves. And, if you're ready to do that-if you're ready to own that action and take responsibility for it-then Utterly Wicked is the book for you!
Jam-packed with more than one hundred rituals, incantations, hexes and curses, this book is the quintessential primer for learning all those magical tricks that no one wants to talk about. Do you know the proper way to enter a cemetery? Utterly Wicked tells you how, as well as the proper methods for collecting and using graveyard dirt. Explore the little known secrets of the 11" fashion doll and see why it's become such a valuable magical tool. Then learn to prepare Hot Foot Powder, Four Thieves Vinegar, Goofer Dust, and other magical components specifically designed to obliterate your toughest problems. Most important, though, you'll also find the tools to protect yourself, your family, and your home from ever being bothered with these sorts of difficulties again. A must have for any Witch's bookshelf!
You can find Utterly Wicked in your local book store, or order an autographed copy here. Please attach a note stating the name to which you'd like the book autographed.
