Witches are creatures of magic. They cast spells, heal, and foretell the future. What you might not know is that Witches can also commune with the spirits of the dead.
In The Witches’ Book of the Dead, modern-day Salem Warlock Christian Day shows how the spirits of our beloved dead can be summoned to perform such tasks as helping you to discover hidden opportunities, influence the minds of others, seduce the object of your affection, and even reach into the dreams of the unwary. According to legend, the Spirits of the dead can confer magical talents, fame, love, and wealth on those brave enough to summon them.
The Witches’ Book of the Dead explores the enduring relationship between witches and the dead and teaches rituals and incantations to help readers open doorways to the spirit world.
Topics include:
- Legendary Witches who have raised the dead, including The Witch of Endor, Circe, and Erichtho
- Creating ancestral altars and building relationships with spirits
- The tools of Necromancy: the bronze dagger, yew wand, iron keys, graveyard dust, the offering cauldron, spirit powders, the human skull, and more.
- Methods of spirit contact, including automatic writing, scrying mirrors, spirit boards, pendulums, and spirit mediumship
- The ancient arts of necromancy as a method of conjuring the dead to assist in magic
- Ridding yourself of unwanted spirits using rituals of cleansing, banishing and exorcism
- Ghost hunting techniques that combine psychic wisdom with modern technology
- Communing with the dead in dreams
- Sacred holidays and powerful celebrations of the dead
- Resources on where to ethically obtain the tools of the trade
- An overview of the feared deities of the Underworld
- Rituals, recipes, exercises, and more!

This book looks incredible. A must have for the home library!
i receive the red wheel/weiser newletter.
i like red wheel/weiser on facebook.
the only work with the dead i have done is talking with my Ancestors. i would like my relationship with the Honoured Dead to grow in death.
The Dead has been coming to me my whole life, I have been communicated with them the whole time. I’m eager to learn how to spend time and commune with them in other ways.
An excellent addition for my library. Must have it!
I ‘like’ you on FaceBook; have for some time!
I have signed up for the newsletter.
I have had the dead come to me in dreams pretty much all my life (and the things I learned turned out to be true); I’ve communed with them while waking from time to time. I’ve also played the psychopomp more times than I would have liked.
I signed up for the Newsletter
I’m a Weisner follower on Twitter.
Signed up for the newsletter and liked the page on facebook.
I have done alot of energetic readings in which I have found that many souls will come forward to speak to their loved ones through a reading with me.
I also many times will ask for assistance from those that have passed on, in matters that I feel they have the unique ability to get closer to, than I can.
I have been working my way through “Walking the Twilight Path” for a while but I have seen and conversed with the dead at various points in my life.
I signed up for their newsletter!
I am following them on Twitter.
I have liked their facebook page.
Haven’t done any. Spooky yet intriguing, wouldn’t mind reading about it.

I follow Weiser on Twitter!
I “like” Weiser on Facebook!
I receive the Weiser newsletter! And in answer to the question: I have worked with a few who have crossed over by simply asking for their help when I felt it was something they could assist with.
This book looks great!
I have an “odd” sixth sense. I can sense those around me that have passed, but have never really thought to try to “use” them (I use the term “use” very loosely here) to assist in spells. I suppose one could ask, it would be worth researching, that’s for sure. And with the other knowlege I already possess, it can be done safely.
I have talked with Ancestors, but would love to learn more about working with the Dead.
