Last month we read Peter Grey’s Apocalyptic Witchcraft on Zoom. It was our first attempt at this, so thank you to those who came along. It was a lovely group; we had an informal discussion followed by a Q&A with the author. Many found the essay particularly relevant in the current pandemic.
Our next Zoom book club is on May 11th, 6 pm-7.30 pm. We will be discussing Ronald Hutton’s Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft. In this important study, Ronald Hutton puts into question many of the long held assumptions about the history of Wicca, while also acknowledging the creative potential of “Britain’s first homegrown religion”. For the last 30 minutes, we will be joined by Professor Ronald Hutton (who will be heard not seen—he’s calling in via a landline). We will be focusing the discussion on part of the book, from the chapter Finding a Language through to Finding a Witchcraft.
