An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present | Free Book
Doreen Valiente
This is the only book of its kind on witchcraft that has been written
by a practising witch. It is intended to be not merely a history, but
a guide to the many strange byways of a vast and fascinating subject.
Witchcraft is as old as the human race, and it is actively practised
today, by people of all classes. To its devotees, witchcraft is more
than spells and charms, or even secret meetings and rituals; it is a
philosophy and a way of life. It claims to be the oldest form of
religion, that of nature-worship and magic. Since the last Witchcraft
Act was repealed in 1951, the revival of public interest in witchcraft
has been the subject of continuous controversy. This book is a serious
contribution to the study of a subject too long obscured by prejudice
and sensationalism.
