Children of Cain: A Study of Modern Traditional Witches

by Michael Howard Author

Throughout the 20th century, Europe and North America saw a resurgence in occultism — including an interest in witchcraft, notably in the middle of the century. The most well-known of these traditions is Wicca, which many consider a religion nowadays depending on which one of it’s various manifestations. There were, however, very many lesser-known practices that resurged and thrived in the shadows of the mid-1900s. Grouped together, these are informally known as Traditional Witchcraft — often associated with Western Europe and Colonial America. This book compiles research spanning over forty years, conducted in collaboration with metaphysical practitioners of Traditional Witchcraft. This second edition has been expanded and revised.
