The unseen Powers that have interested
man most in his early history have been
the powers of fertility and of contact with
the spirit world; of Life and Death.

These are the elementary powers that
become the divinities of the Witches, and
their worship is as old as civilisation itself.
The meaning of  Witchcraft is to be found,
not in strange religious theories about God
and Satan, but in the deepest levels of the
human mind, the collective unconscious, and in the earliest
development of human society.

It is the deepness of the roots that has  preserved the tree.
