About the book
Gerald Gardner's 1954 work presents his account of what he calls the witch-cult, covering its supposed past and its rites. He says he met practising witches in England during the 1930s, and he reports that they asked him to tell the public they are decent people who mean no harm. The book builds on the later-rejected idea that persecuted witches belonged to a surviving pagan faith. Gardner also proposes that the Knights Templar followed this faith and that European faery beliefs arose from a hidden pygmy people. Margaret Murray contributes the introduction.
