Synopsis

Now you can discover the history and motivations of one of the most influential people in the development of modern Wicca, Scott Cunningham, in Whispers of the Moon by David Harrington and deTraci Regula.

Whispers of the Moon is Scott Cunningham's unfinished autobiography, completed and expanded by two of his friends and colleagues. Drawing upon Scott's notes and their personal relationships with him, David and deTraci have included everything to understand this philosopher-magician:

·Portions of letters
·Previously unpublished poems, essays, and photographs
·His natal chart
·The complete text of A Formula Book of Magical Incenses & Oils
·Many charming and touching personal anecdotes

With magical clarity and gentle wit, Scott's books opened doors for tens of thousands of people. Scott popularized and enhanced the life-affirming path of Wicca in ways that will continue long into the future. Many Wiccans entered into the Craft through his books. Thousands of people cast their first Circle using Scott's words of power.

Whispers of the Moon is an essential resource including a complete list of Scott's published works, his birth-data and horoscope (not available previously), and remembrances of many people who were touched by his gentle magic. Whispers of the Moon is a unique blend of magical lore, personal anecdotes, and rare insights into the forces that molded Scott's life.

Scott Cunningham passed in 1993 into the Summerland and to the Goddess whom he loved and served so well. As the author of over 50 books and as a greatly respected teacher and leader, Scott is missed by his many friends and by people all over the world that learned from his writings. But his work lives on in his books. Whispers of the Moon is the book that links Scott's writings into a whole. You must get it.

About this title

About the Author

David Harrington lives in Chula Vista, California and has a long-term interest in the mysteries of household magic. A student of the sacred sciences since childhood, deTraci Regula explores the mystical through writing, dreams, and art.  She has been a Priestess of Isis with the Fellowship of Isis since 1983.  With David Harrington, she is the co-author of the upcoming biography of their friend Scott Cunningham, Whispers of the Moon.  In addition to work in the animation industry on such secular epics as the animated version of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, she also produced and directed the video programs Herb Magic with Scott Cunningham and Witchcraft: Yesterday and Today with Raymond Buckland.  She has traveled to sacred sites in Turkey, China, Japan, and Britain, as well as the United States.

When not writing, deTraci Regula practices Taoist painting and exploring the family geneaology.  Named for her ancestor William deTraci, deTraci Regula comes from a long line of pagans and freethinkers.  One of her ancestors was chastised by the local bishop for "consorting magically with the horses," though what that means exactly has been mysteriously excised from the family histories.  Another ancestor, a Protestant during the reign of the Catholic Queen, "Bloody" Mary, was dug up and burned as a heretic after his death because of certain comments he made in his last will and testament.
