Meaning Of Witchcraft - Gardner

It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch.

"The meaning ofwitchcraft is to be found, not in strange religious theories about God and Satan, but in the deepest levels of the human mind, the collective unconscious, and the earliest developments of human society. It is the deepness of the roots that has preserved the tree."

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.
