Everything Under the Moon

Hi guys,

Just finished The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald Gardner. Was very interesting. Maybe a tiny bit repetitive. What do you guys think of him? He mentions Margaret Murray quite a lot. Is she worth a read? I'm quite interested in the history of paganism especially in the UK. I ordered Witchcraft Today also but that hasn't arrived which is quite annoying. I'm fairly new to witchcraft so if anyone knows any other books I might like that would be great. x

Gardner was greatly influenced by Murray, who was later discredited. You can read her works, but keep in mind that her scholarship isn't very good.

Murray, Hutton and most of the 'original' Wicca scholars have been shown to have spurious academic skills/credentials. Always take the information with a grain of salt.

Thanks guys. I always take everything I read with a pinch of salt. It was a good book though.
