High Magic’s Aid is an early occult novel by Gerald B. Gardner, writing under the name Scire. First published in 1949, before Gardner became widely known as one of the central figures in modern Wicca, the book presents ceremonial magic, witchcraft and medieval occult ideas through fiction.

The work is closely associated with Gardner’s pre-Wicca public writing and draws on material such as The Key of Solomon, medieval magic, ritual practice and the occult revival. This Pentacle Enterprises edition is a collectible reprint, especially appealing to readers interested in Gardnerian Wicca, witchcraft history and early modern pagan literature.
