Although this book is but an extensive outline of Aleister Crowley's many books, it gives the reader a fairly solid understanding of why the book was written and for whom it was written, that being anyone and everyone. It also provides diagrams, background information on the many cultures upon which Mr. Crowley relied to formulate his theories, detailed rituals, and a very comprehensive bibliography. The subject matter is not for everyone, though it is certainly not as sensational and diabolical as most would believe. It is the kind of book one comprehends with the "gut" more so than the brain, i.e. you either get it or you don't. I believe those who get it will be very pleased with the book, as I was; those who don't probably wouldn't want this book in the first place, or perhaps they were seeking it for the wrong reasons. I have a long way to go to finish it, and an even longer way to go to fully understand it. As soon as I've worked my way through more of the book, I intend to order more of Mr. Crowley's books, to which he refers extensively in this one, and which are necessary to develop a fuller understanding of this one.

<p>Whether you love the book or hate the book (or the author), there's no denying that this book paved the way for modern Wicca and Witchcraft. It's one of the most well-known books published in the 20th century regarding Wicca and the Craft as we know it today. Without its publication, who knows where Wicca would stand today as it aided in drawing out those who practiced the Old Ways out of the shadows and into, well, let's be honest and just say a less intense shadow. It can't be a true Mystery Tradition without some shroud of mystery to it!</p>

Witchcraft Today

Gardner, Gerald B.

Thought to be the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed. It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch. The Meaning of Witchcraft is an invaluable source book for witches today. Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs, The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft, Druidism and the Aryan Celts, Magic Thinking, Curious Beliefs about Witches, Signs and Symbols, The Black Mass, Some Allegations Examined. The Meaning of Witchcraft is a record of witches' roots-and a tribute to a founding pioneer with the courage to set that record straight.
