Meaning of Witchcraft

This book is associated with Gerald B. Gardner and reflects his influential interpretation of witchcraft in the twentieth century. Historically important as part of the modern revival of Wicca, it presents arguments about the religion, practices, and symbolic meaning of witchcraft from a sympathetic insider perspective.

Gerald Brosseau Gardner (1884–1964) was an English writer and occultist best known as a central figure in the public emergence of modern Wicca. His books and related writings helped popularize witchcraft as a contemporary religious movement and had a major impact on twentieth-century pagan and occult literature.
