High Magic’s Aid is Gerald B. Gardner’s occult novel of ceremonial magic, witchcraft, hidden teachings, and medieval adventure. First published in 1949 under Gardner’s magical name “Scire”, the book predates the public emergence of modern Wicca and gives readers an unusual fictional glimpse into the magical ideas, ritual atmosphere, and witchcraft themes associated with Gardner’s work.

Set in medieval times, the story follows a quest into forbidden and secret magical knowledge, blending adventure fiction with occult symbolism, ritual magic, witchcraft, and the older romance of hidden initiatory traditions. This Aurinia Books edition presents the work as esoteric fiction by one of the most influential figures in modern witchcraft.
