Description
A comprehensive history of pagan magic in the British Isles spans from ancient druidic practices to contemporary paganism. This authoritative overview explores the beliefs and rituals of various cultures, including the druids, Anglo-Saxons, and Vikings, as well as Elizabethan Court alchemy and witch trials. The book delves into grimoires, ceremonial magic, and the Romantic revival of arcane deities, examining the everyday "cunning folk" who formed the magical fabric of previous centuries. It also considers influential figures such as those associated with The Golden Dawn and Wicca, alongside a rigorously researched account of what it means to be a pagan today. By debunking prevailing myths surrounding magical practice, past and present, Liz Williams offers a highly accessible and well-researched history of pagan magic in the British Isles.
