Description
Essential reading for all those interested in the history and development of witchcraft and the climate in which the renaissance of witchcraft occurred. As one of the Western world`s most famous witches, and one of the leading figures in the modern revival of witchcraft, Patricia Crowther was a close friend and confidante of the late Gerald Gardner who initiated her into the Craft of the Wise. High Priestess is a fascinating account of a witch`s life as a High Priestess of the Great Goddess. Becoming the `witch-daughter` of an old Scottish High Priestess and inheriting her secret tradition, being the target of Black Magic rites performed by Christian priests, locating the grave which contains the ashes of Old Dorothy, and discovering a seventeenth-century witch`s Garter Book, are just some of the experiences the author recounts. paperback, 208 pgs, w/ bw photos
