The European witch-hunts are over (the Spanish Inquisition ordered by the Catholic Pope), but witchcraft and the idea of witchcraft never died out. In the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries witchcraft was re-examined, re-interpreted and, ultimately, re-invented. But by whom and for why? It is the Riddle of the Sphinx Lodge, the secret at the heart of Wicca. Where did Wicca come from? Who was Gerald Gardner? Was Freemasonry involved? Or something far more darker? What part did the 'Wickedest Man in the World' have to play? It is time to shake the wand of serious, scientific research at the stereotypes that still haunt the perception of Witchcraft. It is time to dispel the sweet and fearful fantasy of evil and find out who are today's Witches. Are they, as Shakespeare called them, dark and midnight hags? The answer is quite very surprising! Witches and Witchcraft are no longer what they were thought to be. Gone are the pacts with the Devil, the evil imp familiars and toe-curling curses. In their place we find a vital religion practicing spiritual equality and seeking the improvement of the world. This new religion finds fertile soil for its rapid and increasing growth in today's social climate of post-Christianization and re-enchantment. This book is the penultimate research material because the author is not only a philosopher and a thinker, He is also a strong follower of the “CRAFT”.Read full review
