Witchcraft and Magic

the long version

"Witchcraft and Magic conveys the richness of magical religious experiences found in today's culture, covering the continent of North America and the Caribbean." "These essays survey current and historical issues pertinent to religions that incorporate magical or occult beliefs and practices, and they examine contemporary responses to these religions. The relationship between Witchcraft and Neopaganism is explored, as is their intersection with established groups practicing goddess worship. Recent years have seen growth in New Age magic and Afro-Caribbean religions, and these developments are also addressed in this volume."--Jacket.
