Sally Griffyn is a high priestess, photographer and runs Wiccan workshops. Currently I have not found much additional information but am working on contacting the author.
"This book constitutes a global Coven of people who sit like elders in council." Sally Griffyn pg. 29
The book was written as an introduction to the twelve Wiccan leaders who come from all walks of life, from science fiction writers to NY Attorneys, psychologists and priests. Sally Griffyn interviews them on their lives, influences, paths, personal stories and feeling on their Wiccan Experiences.
She begins her book discussing the very basics of Wicca as well as a brief history of the "Burning Times". with the use of photography she illustrates the places, people, rituals, tools and methods of worship.
Anyone new to the Wiccan Path or simply curious about Wicca would find this book helpful. It gives a clear understanding of the perspectives of Wicca. I'd highly recommend this to any initiate.
This is a "Wiccan" Book, and therefore the theme is that of Wicca, many of the people discussed share similar interest and beliefs but have their own version of it.
I was very surprised to find this book as I had no idea it existed. I've visited many metaphysical shops, bookstores and used book stores. I have never seen this on a shelf. It is an easy read and very well illustrated. This is a definite beginner book for anyone, even if they are only looking the understand the influence Wiccan's have on society.
The only thing missing was contact information on the author. This is useful if a reader has further questions about the material or direction. Even a website address was unavailable. Google search only brought up information on where to buy these books.
I can see this piece being a foundation that my Grandchildren will one day look at as their history.
