Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen

Scott Cunningham practiced magic actively for over twenty years. He was the author of more than fifty books covering both fiction and non-fiction subject matter; sixteen of his titles are published by Llewellyn Publications. Scott's books reflect a broad range of interests within the New Age sphere, where he was very highly regarded. His seminal work, Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, is one of the most successful books on Wicca ever published. He passed from this life on March 28, 1993, after a long illness.

"Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen is an absolute must-have book whether you are Wiccan or not. The information within these pages are invaluable to an Witch and researcher in the field of food lore."—SacredSpiral.com
