Modern Pagan Witchcraft – LIVE
Modern Pagan witchcraft, commonly known as Wicca, is the first fully-formed religion that England has ever given the world, and the longest-established and best-known of the religions that make up modern Paganism. It has spread across the Western world over the past seventy years and is still rapidly growing. This talk is designed to explore how it appeared, and who were the most influential people in its propagation. It will also suggest answers to the questions of what pagan witchcraft consists, why it possesses such appeal for the modern age, and why it has importance and significance for society in general.
Speaker: Professor Ronald Hutton is a Professor of History at the University of Bristol. He is a leading authority on history of the British Isles in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, on ancient and medieval paganism and magic, and on the global context of witchcraft beliefs.
