Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft

Author | Raven Grimassi |
Publisher | Llewellyn Worldwide |
Pages | 548 |
Release | 2000 |
Genre | Body, Mind & Spirit |
ISBN | 9781567182576 |
Grimassi has written extensively about Wicca, and Llewellyn specializes in books sympathetic to occult ways, so the combination is pretty predictable. He describes not only the usual magic practices, but also the religious and spiritual aspects of what believers say is inherited ancient European wisdom and scoffers say is made-up, new-age nonsense.
