About the author
Frances Billinghurst writes on contemporary witchcraft and goddess spirituality, publishing with Moon Books. "Contemporary Witchcraft: Foundational Practices for a Magical Life" (2021) sets out grounding practices and ritual basics distinguishing Wiccan and broader witchcraft approaches, drawing on her training within an initiated priesthood tradition. "Encountering the Dark Goddess: A Journey Into the Shadow Realms" (2021) explores Dark Goddess figures associated with the underworld, shadow work, and the reclaiming of rejected or hidden aspects of the self, while "On Her Silver Rays: A Guide to the Moon, Myth and Magic" (2023) examines lunar symbolism and ritual across mythic traditions. Across the three books, Billinghurst combines foundational instruction with more advanced shadow-work material, positioning her list for readers moving from beginner witchcraft practice toward deeper, myth-based ritual work.
