After Dark with the National Trust
Modern pagan witchcraft otherwise known as Wicca is the only religion England has ever given to the world. In his talk, Ronald Hutton looks at the beliefs and practices associated with magic and witchcraft that were held by ordinary people in England and Wales between 1740 and 1940, the period of time between the end of the witch hunts, and living memory, which has often been neglected by historians of the occult. Here Hutton reveals a rich and flourishing world of practising charmers and magicians, in which the fear of witchcraft remained very real, and asks also when and how this world came to an end.
While Hutton explores this dark side of witchery in this talk, he stresses the positive, reminding us that devotion to art, the natural world, femininity, and the classical deities are also central to the practice of wicca.
