Wicca is said to be the oldest religion in the world. Today, growing numbers of people are becoming attracted to the old way. In this bestselling, introductory book, Vivianne Crowley explains the way of the Witch and shows the relevance of modern Wicca in today's world. This is a study of Wicca, a form of worship and a spiritual system for developing and using psychic and magical power. It draws on three main traditions, that of the original fertility cult, of the occult traditions in general and of the pagan mysteries of which the occult tradition is in some part a reflection. Wicca aims to open up an awareness of one's own spiritual needs and those of others.
