### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Roots & Branches
  

*by G***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2010*

Wiccan Roots, rather than being an overview of the Craft, is a genuinely fascinating account of way more than just the beginnings of British Witchraft's modern format, it's a close look at the key characters that formed and shaped it.Part biography and part historical investigation, Heselton unearths the story of the founder of modern Wicca, Gerald Gardner, and paints a wonderful picture of another age; a time of explorers and experimenters and a rich pool of characters that inhabited it.From Gardner's involvement with Naturists, the Rosicrucian "Crotona Fellowship" to his initiation into what he later referred to as "Wicce", the story leads us through the esoteric side of the early 20th century to the now-infamous Battle Of Britain magical working in 1940 that claimed the lives of some of the initiates.It's a thoroughly enjoyable read, and it doesn't end here; at the time of writing this, Philip Heselton has another book in the pipeline and if his lectures are an indication of its content, more questions have been answered and more characters have been revealed, and I look forward to reading it!

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Unconvincing
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2013*

Wiccan Roots is a fairly weak attempt to challenge the findings of Professor Ronald Hutton's scholarly work on the history of modern pagan witchcraft; at least two other books by different authors seeking to question Hutton's research have also since been published. Unfortunately the major failing of many writers who take a revisionist view of history is an inability to remain critically objective. As any scientist will tell you, the first step in establishing the truth or otherwise of a proposition is to seek to disprove it. Heselton, on the contrary, is eager to substantiate his position and throughout his book frequently falls victim to speculation, circular arguments and third party "evidence". At the end of the day, he produces no solid additional proof and his book will only convince those who already share his views.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Thoroughly Enjoyable Read!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2018*

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot about Gardner that I didn't know.The author has done a considerable amount of research resulting not just in an interesting read, but a thoroughly enjoyable one.I would recommend this book to all with no hesitation.
