Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone have pushed the boundaries of Witchcraft,
challenging old dogma, and have presented a practical, workable update
to craft skills. They describe not only the techniques, but the metaphysics
behind witchcraft practice, demystifying the practical processes of
witchcraft whilst retaining the experiential core mysteries. This book is
essential reading for all, whether they have been in the craft for days or
years. The more you don’t think you’ll need it—the more you find you will!

Magazine.
In considering our craft, it’s impossible not to notice the ongoing
contributions of Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone. Beyond the written word,
these people have served our community with heart and hand—joyously,
honorably, respectfully, and with a genuine humanity that is rare.
—Patricia Telesco, author of
A Witch’s Beverages
and Brews, Goddess In My Pocket, The Victorian
Grimoire
and
The Language of Dreams.
Janet Farrar has long been established as one of the most prominent
writers on the history and nature of modern witchcraft, and her
partnership with Gavin Bone has produced a particularly dynamic and
interesting literary collaboration, capable of dealing with any aspect of the
subject. One effect of their work has been to act as a powerful
counterbalance to tendencies to fundamentalism and narrow-mindedness
among modern witches, and their new book promises to make a
considerable contribution to that work. It should be exciting, informed
and effective as few other authors in the field have the potential to be.
—Professor Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol,
author of
The Triumph of the Moon
and
Stations of the Sun:
A History of the Ritual Year in Britain.
Drawing upon their combined decades of personal and professional
experiences, Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone take us on a journey through
the past histories and present incarnations of Witchcraft. But as the true
pioneers that they are, they then forge ahead taking us with them into a
future where Witchcraft is both an evolutionary and revolutionary spiritual
force that can change the world.
The key to the future of Witchcraft may indeed lie in its past. But as Janet
Farrar and Gavin Bone point out with much wit and wisdom in
Progressive Witchcraft,
this might not be exactly the same version of “the
past” that you were taught!
A refreshingly honest look into the Witchcraft of the past with a visionary
eye focused firmly upon its future.
A truly visionary work. Janet and Gavin prove once again why they are
among the most respected and widely read authors of our time.
What Witchcraft was is not as important as what it will be. As Janet
Farrar and Gavin Bone take us through and then beyond the
controversies surrounding our Witchcraft/Wiccan roots, a truly
evolutionary vision of the future begins to unfold.
—The
Witches’ Voice.
Progressive Witchcraft is required reading and an important contribution
to the powerful, anti-dogmatic, and evolutionary leap occurring within
modern Wicca and Witchcraft. It is a wise, inspiring, and useful guide for
all those seeking the real and holy magic of union with the Divine, the true
purpose of this profound spiritual path.
—Phyllis Curott, esq. Priestess and author of the
bestselling
Book of Shadows
and
WitchCrafting.
