"Witchcraft Today is Gerald B. Gardner's landmark exploration of Wicca. First published in 1954, the book inspired a passionate revival of interest in indigenous British religion and led to the rebirth of a way of life. Encompassing an explanation of Wiccan rituals and tenets, as well as a comprehensive study of occult practices worldwide and throughout the ages, Witchcraft Today is a book that belongs on the bookshelf of every Witch and every person interested in the whole vast field of the occult (Raymond Buckland, author of Wicca for Life)."
"This special expanded edition of the historic volume, reissued in celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, includes the original introduction written for the book by Dr. Margaret Murray, former president of the British Folklore Society and the author of influential books on witchcraft. It also includes new material by contemporary practitioners and scholars: Judy Harrow, author of Wicca Covens and Devoted to You, discusses the context of the Gardner's life and work and gives an analysis of his published sources as well as what later books carry on the major themes; Ronald Hutton, eminent historian and author of Triumph of the Moon, looks at Gardner's life and times; Wren Walker, co-producer of the Witches Voice Web site, shares her observations about Wicca today; Graduate student Tara Nelsen looks into the religion's possible future."--Back cover.
