Description
Wicca History, Belief, and Community in Modern Pagan Witchcraft by Ethan Doyle White provides an original academic introduction to this fascinating faith. Emerging from the occult milieu of mid twentieth-century Britain, Wicca has developed into a maturing religious movement with its own distinct world-view and unique culture. This book explores how Wicca evolved, what its participants believe and practice, and what the Wiccan community looks like. Drawing on the work of historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and scholars of religious studies, as well as the writings of Wiccans themselves, it offers a comprehensive overview of this religion in all its varied forms. By examining the history, beliefs, and practices of modern Pagan Witchcraft, White sheds light on widely-held misconceptions and provides an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn about this blossoming faith.
