The Last Bastion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781903065402)

Ralph Harvey, now deceased, was the head of The Order of Artemis, which in itself encompasses over 200 Traditional Wiccan covens worldwide, following "The old Religion", or Witchcraft in its original form. "An' ye harm none..." is the underlying principle, with absolutely no "black magic" or satanic connections.Ralph is a repository of witchcraft research in its purest, original form, and the book describes the history of Witchcraft, its suppression and re-emergence, with specific emphasis on Sussex - the last bastion of Witchcraft in England, and the first to re-emerge after the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951.This is not the kind of modern spellcasting book that many New Age people have jumped into, but the original roots and ways of the Old Religion - as it was, and still is - in the community of serious, traditional witches.
