Witchcraft Today is one of the foundational texts of modern Wicca and twentieth-century witchcraft, written by Gerald B. Gardner with an introduction by Dr Margaret Murray.

First published in 1954, the book presents Gardner’s account of witchcraft as a surviving initiatory tradition, discussing ritual practice, magical belief, covens, folklore, the “Old Religion,” and the revival of witchcraft in modern Britain. While some of its historical claims are now debated, the book remains highly important for understanding the development of Gardnerian Wicca and modern pagan witchcraft.

A key title for readers and collectors interested in Wicca, Gardnerian witchcraft, traditional witchcraft, occult history, pagan revival movements, and twentieth-century esoteric publishing.
