A lovely rendition of a Kipling poem from Puck of Pook’s Hill, this poetry made its way into Wiccan liturgy and therefore into neo-paganism. Though Kiplings inspiriation is much older and comes from fairy faith and traditional witchcraft and old paganism.

hi there :) ok so just so you know i’m not a strict pagan meaning i work with catholic spirits and as well as my pagan spirits.now as for kinds paganism there is Roman,Greek,Norse,Celtic,Scottish etc those are the more widely practiced ones. as for books personally i read most of my stuff from articles online. i use Google, you should also use Google scholar! most of my books are on magic and witchcraft so if you need beginner books for magic i can help with that a lot more. but as a bit of advise if there is a pantheon you feel called to i would say start researching that pantheons native culture,beliefs,myths,legends and folklore. that alone will help you form a solid practice. oh and there are SO many great youtube channels and other blogs on here that are great resources you can search the tags for what your looking for. so give thought to what gods call to you then go from there i hope this helped give you some direction. if you have any more questions please feel free to ask :)
It is fair to say that Traditional Craft, though containing earlier and folkloric elements, is as invented as Gardnerian Wicca, and by that I mean no disrespect to either.
Yet now we see the manufacturing of a schism between a supposed traditional craft and initiated Wicca. It is an attempt to separate the inseparable and rewrite a history of shared protagonists, as the example of The Regency demonstrates, and on an island of widely diverse practice that cannot be neatly embroidered into one gypsy myth. The new strands of ‘old’ witchcraft show where Wicca was remiss, namely plant lore, low magic and folklore. But to define oneself in opposition to your closest allies in a battle of authenticity seems fatally flawed, especially when most of our history is chronicled by our enemies and further spans the shifting landscapes of literature, poetry, vision and dream.
Furthermore, how is a Cain-Lilith myth any different or more valid than a Diana-Lucifer one? Who exactly enforces that Wiccans do no operative magic, or ensures traditional crafters have no religious or mythic under-pinning? In fact what we see now is a supposedly traditional Craft enthusiastically fashioning exactly the kind of ritual Witchcraft that they have decried the Gardnerians for. The reason is that they are part of a divided whole which is not simply true of witchcraft, but our entire culture’s schism and denial of the complete goddess whom we dare to know incarnate as Babalon.
This horizontal hostility between people who should share the same interests is exactly the tactic employed by COINTELPRO. It splinters, it dissipates, it prevents us engaging with the real enemy. There are more pressing issues than whether we work naked or robed. Enough. I say, my enemy’s enemy is my friend. When I say Apocalyptic Witchcraft I also mean the destruction of the false differences between the traditions.
Gerald Gardner’s witchcraft was not ultimately about the form, it was about the force. A culture crawling out of the bombed cellars of London into the new world of pill and possibility. The witchcraft of Jack Parsons was not about the form, it was about the force of the bohemian sexual revolution and entheogenic drugs. Traditional witchcraft is not about the form, it is about the harrowing loss of folklore, rural life and, crucially, meaning in a postmodern world.
i am beginning to see that many big names in the occult/pagan/magical community are passing a toxic, overly pessimistic world view as some kind of magical of spiritual truth. i’m losing respect for some of these people. i know many of us love the glam of the “pagan and famous” but remember they are human, flawed, and even the most educated well read occultist can be wrong! you are allowed to disagree with them. don’t follow any spiritual or magical teaching blindly
