About this Event
Pagan witchcraft, especially in its first publicly apparent form of Wicca, is the most familiar and notorious form of modern Paganism. It is a counter-cultural religion of astonishing boldness, based on feminism, love of nature, personal growth and the redemption of the traditional figure of the witch. This lecture looks at its origins and the roots of its success across the Western world, given it flouts so many conventions. It also discusses what modern Pagan witches actually do, and why they do it.
A lecture by Professor Ronald Hutton
