A cross between Erma Bombeck, Wednesday Addams, and the UK comedian Ross Noble—Morgan Drake Eckstein talks about the history and philosophy that developed in the pagan and Wiccan community of Denver, Colorado. A former Inner Order member of Golden Dawn, Morgan was lucky to be present for many interesting discussions about Wicca, magic and community building that occurred after a hundred-plus witches attended a public ritual—an event that helped change his local Wiccan community from its zero-sum thinking into what it is today: a community that has set aside its differences to create a growing, thriving pagan community.

Warning: This book was written by a Wiccan who spent over a decade in the Hermetic Golden Dawn esoteric tradition. If you are a purist who believes that your esoteric tradition needs to remain pure and true to an idealized version controlled by properly lineaged leaders, then this book is not for you.

Additional warning: The author has a sense of humor. If that annoys you, along with the occasional (or not so occasional) shaggy dog story, then this book is definitely not for you. Try something from Llewellyn instead.

A mixture of personal history, humorous stories, and eye-witness accounts, Morgan reveals how the Wiccan community was affected by the sudden existence of hundreds of individuals eager to experience Wicca, and leaders who realized that there was more than enough work for any witch and occultist willing to present Wicca and paganism in an open public format.

Morgan also discusses how to start designing and performing public Wiccan ritual, the mindset needed to create good-will and forgiveness for past mistakes among members of the pagan community, and how public ritual can help develop and train witches and occultists.

An witch and ceremonial magician with over thirty-five years of experience in magic and Wicca, a literary historian, occasional science fiction political satire writer, and Past Hierophant and former Chief Adept in an offshoot of the Hermetic Golden Dawn/Thelema esoteric tradition, Morgan has been helping Hearthstone Community Church (“the Open Full Moon people”) for over twenty-five years, and has been an official board member of the Wiccan church for the last seven years.
