  Pagan ideas took root in Britain in the 1960s with the reinvention of witchcraft, and rapidly spread to the United States and Australia. Initially secretive, Wicca became more open with the publication of a number of important books in the early 1980s. Since then, there has been a massive change of emphasis which has largely gone unnoticed in publications on the subject. Today, there is a far more eclectic approach to what has become the fastest-growing spiritual movement or religion in Britain. The essential aim of this book is to provide readers with a practical, step-by-step introduction to Pagan ideas and practices, which they can try for themselves without having to 'join' anyone else's coven or organization. The authors do not seek to convert, but merely to present some novel ideas for readers to consider. Practical Paganism finds a common ground upon which all Pagans can happily stand together in a unified tradition, and encourages them to accept each other and their own weaknesses.
