Modern Wicca by Michael Howard

Modern Wicca by Michael Howard

Written by a scholar who has been involved in Witchcraft for over forty-five years, this carefully researched book gives a fascinating account of Gerald Gardner's life while exploring the modern revival of the Craft. From the "Museum of Magic" and "Witchcraft at the Isle of Man" to the origins of the "Book of Shadows", "Modern Wicca" tracks the evolution of Wicca as it spread from the United Kingdom to the United States and beyond. Also examined are Wicca's links to older forms of traditional Witchcraft, such as the Pickingill Craft. In addition to a thorough history of modern neo-pagan Witchcraft, this book brings to life the various personalities who practised and promoted it during the last sixty years, including Aleister Crowley, Alex Sanders, and Doreen Valiente. 'This is an extremely important book, representing an account of Wiccan history from somebody who has himself been a major actor in it' - Ronald Hutton, author of "Triumph of the Moon".
