Persuasions of the Witch's Craft by T M Luhrmann

To find out why reasonable people are drawn to the seemingly bizarre practices of magic and witchcraft, the author immersed herself in the secret lives of Londoners who call themselves magicians. She came to know them as friends and equals and was initiated into various covens and magical groups. In this book she explains the process through which once-sceptical educated, middle-class people, frequently of high intelligence - became committed to the ideas behind witchcraft and find magical ritual so compelling persuasive. This book draws some disturbing conclusions about the ambivalence of belief within modern urban society.
