Description

Explore the Forbidden Path of the Ultimate Rebel

When you separate the religious dogma from the symbolic nature of the devil, who really is he? Kate Freuler presents the infamous figure as a symbol, not a deity, and reveals how to use this radical philosophy to strengthen yourself and your witchcraft.

The devil represents rebelling against all-powerful, oppressive systems of any kind. Through historical references, religious writings, and pop culture, this book explores the intersection between witchcraft and the rebel archetype. Freuler dispels common myths, providing examples from a variety of texts and personal stories about her own connection to this misunderstood symbol. She also shares a variety of hands-on rituals you can use for self-empowerment. From the devil's relationship with the old gods to the shadow work associated with him, Magic at the Crossroads invites you to see this controversial symbol with new eyes.

Editorial Reviews

"Magic at the Crossroads tackles the taboo topic of the devil, an archetype as misjudged and maligned as that of the witch. Kate Freuler, through diligent research, leads readers down the lesser-known pathways of witchcraft to discover the devil as an icon of enlightenment and self-rule, not malevolence. Freuler invites readers to set aside entrenched dogmatic narratives and welcome these figures as symbols of challenge and emancipation, representing resistance to dominating and repressive forces. Her book goes beyond historical recounting, advocating for a witch's path marked by the magick of enlightenment, strength, autonomy, and metamorphosis for the audacious."
—Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch and Mastering Magick

"In Magic at the Crossroads, author Kate Freuler provides an interesting examination of the Devil as he appears in modern witchcraft and satanism. Helping to illuminate a topic once considered taboo, Freuler provides a valuable discourse that will simultaneously challenge preconceived notions and stir up sentiments of sorcerous rebellion."
—Kelden, author of The Crooked Path and The Witches' Sabbath

"The devil in witchcraft is an unavoidable topic, whether you believe in this enigmatic and pervasive figure or not. Author Kate Freuler takes us back to the origins of an age-old tale that is marked with taboo, transgression, and adversarial forces every step of the way, providing us with a witch's keen perspective....Kate provides occult practices, plant lore, and regular self-check-ins to empower the reader with the tools necessary for this journey of inner illumination. Whether your path is to the left, right or in-between, Magic at the Crossroads is part of an important process of self-realization."
—Coby Michael, author of The Poison Path Herbal
