The
Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft by Prof Ronald
Hutton |
Until
recently Wiccans--the name that present day witches prefer--used to claim
that their religion was a recreation, even a continuation of ancient beliefs
widespread in Europe before Christianity drove them out. Most of today's
Wiccans are more honest, more ready to accept that theirs is a new religion,
self-consciously created to serve a need not met by existing mainstream religions.
Ronald
Hutton's highly acclaimed The Triumph of he Moon is a history of
modern pagan witchcraft, examining not only its origins half a century ago
but the many ideas and enthusiasms of the last few centuries that paved the
way for it. He finds powerful influences in 18th and 19th-century
Freemasonry, 19th-century Rosicrucian-type societies, including the Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as in the tradition of wise women,
dispensers of herbal remedies and folk wisdom. |
