First published in 1970, Mastering Witchcraft is Paul Huson’s influential practical manual of traditional witchcraft and operative magic. It covers ritual preparation, magical tools, spellcraft, divination, protection, curses, necromancy, familiars and the formation of a coven.

Huson deliberately approaches witchcraft as a magical craft rather than as a modern Wiccan religion, drawing heavily on older European magical and folkloric sources. It remains one of the better-known twentieth-century practical witchcraft manuals and is particularly sought after in its older Perigee editions.
