In this concise and important treatise Michael Howard delineates
between various modern neo-pagan Wiccan traditions, cunning folk
traditions, heathen folk or the 'pagani, ' and an assortment of
ritual magicians and pathworkers in order to present a 'gramarye'
distinctly for those who aspire to the 'Old Craft.' An experienced
practitioner, writer, researcher, folklorist and magazine editor of
the respected witchcraft magazine, The Cauldron (since 1976),
Howard elucidates important elements of the Traditional Craft,
including preparation rituals, tools of 'the Arte, ' fellowship of
the coven and the casting of circles, finally taking us through the
Great Wheel of the Year and the assortment of sacred rites as
performed within. The seasonal rituals are based on traditional
witchcraft and folklore sources and have been specially written for
this boo
The seventeenth-century man of letters John Aubrey is remembered,
above all, for his great biographical work, Brief Lives. He also
wrote pioneering works dealing with education, geology, languages,
archaeology, history, place-name study and folklore. Aubrey was a
Fellow of the Royal Society. Other early members of the Royal
Society included Robert Boyle, the greatest scientist of his
generation and Henry More, one of England's leading philosophers.
Aubrey, Boyle and More promoted new thinking about the natural
world and championed the use of experimental science. They also
believed in demons and angels and the authenticity of witchcraft.
Aubrey recommended ways of countering witchcraft through horseshoe
magic and suggested that gifted schoolboys should be taught to
communicate with good spirits through the use of crystal balls.
Boyle publicly endorsed the reality of witchcraft based on a case
study from France. Henry More attempted to explain scientifically
how witches could leave their bodies behind them when attending
sabbat meetings. The Last Witch Craze tells the story of these men
and others who attempted to reconcile science and sorcery. Their
ideas were taken very seriously by others and provided an
intellectual justification for the last lethal witch craze in
Britain and America. Two fellows of the Royal Society - Joseph
Glanvill and James Long - actively participated in witch hunts. In
New England, those who persecuted the witches of Salem were fully
aware that several distinguished members of the Royal Society of
London were believers in the reality of witchcraft. The book also
reveals that John Aubrey had a dark secret. His magical notebook
survives in the archives of Oxford University. It makes clear that
Aubrey personally practised a form of black magic and used charms
to conjure up demons.

It has been observed that the traditions, philosophies and beliefs
that enjoy historical longevity are not those that remain static
and unchanging, but rather those that evolve and adapt to meet the
needs of different or changing societies. And that truth, of
course, can be extended to religions and spiritualities that by
necessity must remain relevant to peoples' lives or become
intellectual museum pieces. With topics ranging from CyberWitches
to Activism, from Web Weaving to Urban Witchcraft, from the Arts to
Kitchen and Solitary Witchcraft and more, What is Modern
Witchcraft? considers contemporary developments in the ancient
craft and discusses a number of questions and issues that are
frequently raised today. What is Modern Witchcraft? is edited by
Trevor Greenfield and features essays from Morgan Daimler, Annette
George, Irisanya Moon, Rebecca Beattie, Philipp J. Kessler, Amie
Ravenson, Rachel Patterson, Melusine Draco, Dorothy Abrams, Arietta
Bryant and Mabh Savage.
