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.

<p>To residents of Manhattan, it was just another blistering hot day in August. No one knew that on that day death, in the form of a ghostly exodus of vermin-infested rats, had moved silently into the streets of the city.\nThe ghastly plague, known as the Black Death, was loose in Manhattan. Behind the germ warfare was an unknown enemy and a willing underworld who joined forces in an attempt to wipe out the biggest city on the earth!</p>

Into the Blue is widely regarded as a literary classic. Originally published in 1929, and 44 years since its latest publication, Grub Street reintroduces you to Norman Macmillan’s insightful and gripping book about his experiences as a pilot during the First World War.Wing Commander Norman Macmillan, OBE, MC, AFC, DL, was born on 9 August 1892 in Glasgow.After serving sixteen months in the Highland Light Infantry, he joined the RFC in 1916. He learned to fly at Netheravon, and in 1917 went to 45 Squadron on 1½ Strutters. Norman flew many missions on this type and claimed two victories before 45 were re-equipped with Camels in August 1917; Norman then gained his first Camel victory in the same month they arrived. On 11th September he twice claimed Fokker Triplanes out of control during two separate engagements in the space of a few minutes. Macmillan went on to claim nine victories in all. After being injured in an unfortunate accident on 6th January 1918 he did not see further combat and returned to England to become a flight instructor. After his experience in the First World War, he was closely associated with flying for many years and also became an enthusiastic writer of aviation books; of which, Into the Blue is the best. In 1925 Norman was the first person to make an emergency landing at Heathrow, which was then a row of cottages. During World War Two he became wing commander war correspondent, before retiring to Cornwall, where he became Deputy Lord Lieutenant of that county. Norman died on 5 August 1976 aged 83.Norman Macmillan was decorated with the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in 1918 and was also later awarded the prestigious Air Force Cross.REVIEWS Macmillan wrote with an eye for detail and the literary skill to richly portray that generation of men who’s “worst fear was of making a poor show.” This new edition is highly recommended and not to be missed.Over the Front Winter 2016
