Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secretsocieties.

Lawrence, and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the world since 1950.
