Wicca and witchcraft are earth-based religions based on ancient - even prehistoric - paganism. Wicca itself is a fairly new reconstruction based loosely on old religion and early witchcraft. Most Wiccans worship the Goddess and the God, and the precepts of Wicca are based on the spiritual life in people, animals, plants - even rocks. All life is delicately balanced between light and dark, day and night, good and evil, male and female.
This book offers a beginner's look at the history of paganism, Wicca, and witchcraft, from the Druids and Celts to the 300 years of European and American witch-hunts (1450-1750) to the modern witches of today, who practice an earth-based religion and cast spells and perform natural magic. The book reveals details of the witches' Sabbats, ceremonies, altars, and more, written by a practicing witch.
