I say "old religion" because this is unambigiously written from the perspective of a practicing 20th century Wiccan. In fact, Doreen Valiente was one of the originators of the modern witchcraft culture. But she writes lucidly and with a fairly balanced and historical-based perspective. A good overview of everything that has gone into re-making witchcraft. (
