  • The witching year : a memoir of earnest fumbling through modern witchcraft

    Creator

    Helmuth, Diana

    Abstract

    A skeptic spends a year trying to find spiritual fulfillment by practicing modern Witchcraft in this fascinating memoir – perfect for fans of A.J. Jacobs and Mary Roach. Diana Helmuth, thirty-three, is skeptical of organized religion. She is also skeptical of disorganized religion. But, more than anything, she is tired of God being dead. So, she decides to try on the fastest-growing, self-directed faith in America: Witchcraft. The result is 366 days of observation, trial, error, wit, and back spasms. Witches today are often presented as confident and finished, proud and powerful.
