Publisher's Summary

Ronald Hutton is known for his colorful, provocative, and always exhaustively researched studies on original subjects. This work is no exception: the first full-scale scholarly study of the only religion England has ever given the world, that of modern pagan witchcraft, which has now spread from English shores across four continents. Hutton examines the nature of that religion and its development, and offers a microhistory of attitudes to paganism, witchcraft, and magic in British society since 1800. Village cunning folk and Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons and members of rural secret societies, all appear in this book. Also included are some of the leading figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to WB Yeats, DH Lawrence, and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the world since 1950.

must read

Hutton is fantastic. Anyone seeking or just wishing to find quality, historical and scholarly writing on modern, neo-pagan witchcraft must read this. I played it at 1.5 speed as the narrator is...well... maybe you'll like it.

Exceptionally well done! Witty, articulate, fair.

Could not put it down. A scholastic love letter to Wicca. This writer has done modern paganism and study of witchcraft a great service with this book. He suffers no fools and is frank as he is fair.

pro: Hutton is brilliant con: the narration

I love Hutton's work.
The narration makes it a slog to get through, however. I'd love to have heard it from Hutton himself, I feel like it would have been much more engaging.
