THE WITCH COMPASS / IAN CHAMBERS
The Witch Compass: Working with the Winds in Traditional Witchcraft by Ian Chambers (with a foreword by Griffin Ced) is a deep, experiential guide into a cornerstone concept of Traditional Witchcraft—the witch compass. Rather than merely being a tool for direction or protection, the compass is presented as a cosmological map and ritual vehicle that opens pathways into other worlds, spirit realms, and deeper layers of magical practice.
The book invites readers to rediscover sacred space through the eight winds—the cardinal and intercardinal directions that form the compass. Chambers moves beyond conventional magic circles to show how a practitioner can build, sense, and work with their own compass for divination, ceremonial magic, spirit contact, and personal revelation.
Blending historical context with practical exercises, The Witch Compass explains the symbolism and power inherent in the winds, directions, and horizons, rooted in both ancient mythic traditions and contemporary witchcraft revival. Chambers shares rituals and techniques for orienting yourself spiritually, connecting with unseen forces, and navigating mystical landscapes.
This book is aimed at those who want a practical, grounded approach to traditional witchcraft, especially magic that connects the practitioner with spirit, place, and inner transformation. It’s both an instructional text and a reflective framework—pushing readers to see the world through the ever-shifting lens of the witch’s compass.
