Synopsis

Explore the life of Raymond Buckland, the father of American Witchcraft, in this extensively researched biography based on his own unpublished memoirs.

Casting new light on one of the first modern self-identifying witches in the US, Jason Mankey invites you deep into Buckland's life. Known for bringing Wicca to America and sharing it through his writing, Buckland penned more than forty titles, placing him among the most prolific occult authors of all time.

Drawing on exclusive access to Buckland's unpublished memoirs, personal letters from Gerald Gardner, and firsthand accounts, Mankey reveals intimate details of Buckland's remarkable journey. From his Romany roots and his childhood during WWII to his many media appearances and little-known hobbies, such as flying ultralight aircraft, this biography covers it all, including a special section on the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft.
