Legendary Pagan writer/teacher Isaac Bonewits collates a lifetime of Wiccan study into a guide, encyclopaedia and historey of the religion. Witches have fought for over 30 years to have Wicca taken seriously as a religion worthy of the respect now afforded to other paths and any ignorant or imprecise speech about the tradition can seriously damage the good work they have done. Hence the Essential Guide To Witchcraft And Wicca, a finally definitive reference work for anyone interested in or practicing the religion. Includes details on Neopaganism and a resource guide.
