The
Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald Gardner
Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in
1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed. It
was the
first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing
witch. "The meaning of witchcraft is to be found, not in
strange religious theories about God and Satan, but in the deepest
levels of the human mind, the collective unconscious, and the
earliest developments of human society. It is the deepness of
the roots that has preserved the tree.

* A Witch’s Memories and Beliefs * The Stone Age Origins
of Witchcraft * Druidism and the Aryan Celts * Magic Thinking
