Description
Trials of the Moon: Reopening the Case for Historical Witchcraft by Ben Whitmore The 'creation myths' of modern witchcraft and Paganism were decisively challenged in the early 21st century. But did the truth behind these myths lie in the rubble of history? Ben Whitmore has retraced the steps of those who came before, critically evaluating the evidence to suggest that the field of Pagan history is far from barren. Drawing on a wealth of scholarly material, Whitmore demonstrates that the past is rich and fertile, and that we have only just begun to cultivate it. By examining the evidence and challenging prevailing assumptions, Whitmore sheds new light on the history of witchcraft and Paganism. This thought-provoking book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the subject. Published in 2010, Trials of the Moon is a fascinating exploration of the history of witchcraft and Paganism. With its unique perspective and scholarly approach, this book is a valuable addition to any library.
