Descriere

Look Behind the Scenes at the Life of the Father of American Witchcraft Casting new light on one of the first modern self-identifying Witches in the US, Jason Mankey invites you deep into Raymond Buckland's life. Known for bringing Wicca to America, Buckland wrote more than forty titles, placing him among the most prolific occult authors of all time. Drawing on exclusive access to Buckland's unpublished memoirs, personal letters from Gerald Gardner, and personal accounts from fellow authors of the Craft, including Silver RavenWolf, Thorn Mooney, and Selena Fox, Mankey reveals intimate details of Buckland's remarkable journey. From his Romani roots and his childhood during WWII to his many media appearances and little-known hobbies, such as flying ultralight aircraft, this biography covers it all. Mankey also highlights the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick and shares various exercises from Buckland's body of work, making this book a practical and fascinating tour de force.
