Author: Martello, Leo

Weird Ways of Witchcraft is the story of the radical Dr. Leo Louis Martello, founder of the Witches' Anti-Defamation League and pioneer of the Witches Liberation movement of the 1960s. At outspoken witch who brought formal charges agains the Catholic church for the dmages done during the Inquisition and Salem Witch Trials, he staged the first Witch-In in Central Park, and he wrote The Witch Manifesto - which appeared in print for the first time in the 1969 edition of this very book.

Weird Ways of Witchcraft provides a snapshot in time, when the seeds of the Neopagan movement and the teachings of witchraft began to spread and gain popularity among the generation that variously called itself hippies, flour children, and the counterculture. These were heady days of women's liberation, gay liberation - a revolt against church, state, and the way things were. Witches, pagans, and revolutionaries of today will find the words of Martello to ring true, and invite them to retain the courage of their convictions.
