Since the rise of Christianity, and largely because of it, Witchcraft, or the Old Religion, has been utterly misunderstood. Wrongly accused of devil worship, its practitioners were persecuted with barbaric zeal; only in 1951 was the antiquated Witchcraft Act, banning all practice, finally repealed. Bill Love first came into contact with Witchcraft in 1942, when it was still illegal. A graduate in physics, an ex-RAF fighter pilot and a teacher in physical education, Bill was, on the face of it, an unlikely person to take an interest. But the tenets of Witchcraft – essentially the art of living in complete harmony with nature – appealed to Bill’s scientific mind, and in 1953 he joined the Sacred Coven of Ceridwen. There he learned the old, timeless ways of the religion, passed down ‘from mouth to ear’ over countless generations. Therein lies the rare magic of this book. With the rise of Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca, to name but two twentieth-century variants, Traditional Witchcraft, as it has become known, is in danger of extinction. In writing this book, Bill Love has shared his intimate knowledge of Witchcraft in its purest form, preserving the ancient practices and beliefs for modern covens and interested individuals to follow. Modern Witchcraft is brilliantly illustrated with photographs of Bill Love’s coven. Sadly, Bill died before the completion of this book; it is written with help and contributions from acclaimed author Jak P. Mallmann Showell and High Priestess of the Sacred Coven of Ceridwen, Toni Hughes.
