On February 3rd, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. The Hermetic Hour's host Poke Runyon will start a discussion on modern urban "Witchcraft," where it came from, who started it, what myths, legends, and magical traditions it grew out of----how it came to America in the 1950s and 60s, and the people who developed it here following the various British models. We'll discuss the Brits: Gerald Gardner, Robert Graves, Alex Sanders, Robert Cochrane (Roy Bowers) and their contributions. Then Ray Buckland, Ed Fitch, and Joe Wilson over here on this side of the pond. Our special, featured call-guest will be Gardnerian Elder High Priest

Edward Fitch, author of "A Grimoire of Shadows," and one of our star performers in "Beyond Lemuria." There is quite a bit of fog shrouding

the origins, rituals, methods, and activities of "Wicca" in its various forms. At the very least, we will give you the inside story of its British origins and its American beginnings---after that you'll just have to rely on "Perfect Love, and Perfect Trust" --- Blessed Be!
