An expanded edition of the quintessential Wiccan classic written by the father of the pagan renaissance.First published in 1954, this landmark exploration of Wicca inspired a passionate revival of interest in indigenous British religion and led to the rebirth of a way of life. Encompassing an explanation of Wiccan rituals and tenents, as well as a comprehensive study of occult practices worldwide and throughout the ages, Witchcraft Today is a book that “belongs on the bookshelf of every Witch and every person . . . interested in the whole vast field of the occult” (Raymond Buckland, author of Wicca for Life). This special expanded edition of the historic volume, reissued in celebration of its 50th anniversary, includes the original introduction written for the book by Dr. Margaret Murray, former president of the British Folklore Society and the author of influential books on Witchcraft. It also includes new material by contemporary practitioners and scholars: ·         Judy Harrow, author of Wicca Covens and Devoted to You, discusses the context of Gardner’s life and work and gives an analysis of his published sources as well as which later books carry on the major themes.  ·         Ronald Hutton, eminent historian and author of Triumph of the Moon, looks at Gardner’s life and times.  ·         Wren Walker, coproducer of the Witches’ Voice website, shares her observations about Wicca today.  ·         Graduate student Tara Nelson looks into the religion’s possible future.  This audacious work is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the ancient practice of Witchcraft, or by its growing influence on contemporary culture, including references to the practice of Wicca on TV and in movies, and courses that teaches its principles in mainstream academic institutions. Combining an exploration of the often-secret past of Witches with a look at its current practice, Witchcraft Today is an essential tool to be used for study, reflection, inspiration, and transformative ideas.

City of Auburn

<p>This well-researched, illustrated history covers the first hundred years in Auburn, a town on the banks of the Green River, north of Mt. Rainier & south of Seattle in Washington state.  In 1891 the small pioneer town was incorporated as Slaughter, named after the Lieutenant who was killed during the Indian conflicts of 1855.  Hop farms & sawmills once flourished on the outskirts of town--renamed Auburn in 1893.  Some of the richest agricultural areas were farmed by Japanese Americans who settled in the White River Valley.  Over the years intermittent floods wreaked havoc for the farmers until the Mud Mountain & Howard Hanson dams were constructed.  An important railroad center, at one time over 140 trains passed through daily, connecting Auburn with Seattle, Tacoma & cities east of the Cascades.  Auburn was nicknamed "Little Detroit of the West" after World War II, & today is an important employment center for companies like Boeing in one of the fastest growing regions of the state.  The Muckleshoot Reservation is located east of town.  This fascinating book, detailing Auburn's ethnic diversity, cultural heritage & steady economic growth, will please all readers & provide important information on Northwest history.</p>
