Pagan and Witch Elders of the World: Past and Present

Publisher Xlibris AU, October 7, 2020. ISBN: 978-1984507266
Last year (2020) I was contacted by Tamara, from Australia, about a project she was doing, namely a book about Pagan and Wiccan Elders. Would I be interested in sending her an article about my life as a Wiccan Priestess? I agreed and in the Autumn of 2020 the book ‘Pagan and Witch Elders of the World: Past and Present’ was published. I didn’t actually get to see a physical copy until late December due to delays with postal deliveries although I could see it on Amazon.
And what a compilation!
Ranging from the 13th Century to the present day Tamara has included many famous and not-so-famous people in the world of magicians, witches, pagans, adepts and occultists.
From Dame Alice Kyteler to John Dee, from Gerald Gardner and Raymond Buckland – featured on the cover – to my contemporaries such as Vivianne Crowley and Janet & Stewart Farrar, this book is a wonderful gallery.
