WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL DOREEN VALIENTE WEBSITE
This site is dedicated to the memory of Doreen Valiente, the Mother of Modern Witchcraft.
Today Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the Western world and this is
largely due to the prolific writing, in-depth research and personal integrity of Doreen, who gave and is still giving so much to the Craft. -
LAMMAS GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL!

A classic title re-released as a numbered limited edition of 1000
First printed in 1962, UK
This little gem of a book, Doreen’s first ever writing, should really be treated as an historical document. Doreen researches and presents many folklore and witchcraft practices which had hitherto been consigned to a hidden world. In the book Doreen describes herself as a ‘student of witchcraft’ though at the time of writing she was a high priestess. She never stopped investigating and honing her own craft.
“I only just scratched the surface,” she said to John Belham-Payne shortly before she died.
The Centre For Pagan Studies has now released this edition with the help of Ronald Hutton, Brighton Museum and Sussex Archaeological Society, as a foundation for the Doreen Valiente Trust which will look after all her artefacts and manuscripts for future generations. All proceeds of the book go to the Trust and the future museum that will exhibit her world famous collection.
The limited edition will be launched at the Day For Gerald Gardner, 12 September 2010 Price: £19.95
