American Wiccan. I'm not intimately familiar with her work, but she seems to be the
Wiccan equivalent of a
Christian creationist fundamentalist. She has written several thick books of the sort all religions produce, which are perhaps only intelligible by people who already understand the faith. She has also produced at least one guide to Wicca for
young people -
Teen Witch, or something. In this book, she asserted that
the European Witch-hunt was a form of
genocide against indigenous
pagans by the
church. She provides a convenient side-note describing the period as the
Dark Ages - which she regards as an accurate historical term for the period from 410 to 1066
CE. Never mind that most witch-hunts were later than that, and did not target pagans, or that the period mentioned was in fact a time of considerable cultural output by pagans and Christians alike.
Beowulf, the works of
Bede, the early forms of the
Nibelungenlied, the rise of
Byzantium...
Ms RavenWolf (see
BiCapitalization) has also written a series of novels about teenage witches, and a number of pamphlets of spells. I am reliably informed that my sampling of her works has been unfortunate, and that her books for adults take a more reasoned and reasonable line than 'Teen Witch'. Apologies to any fans of her work out there. I'm an ignorant cynic, but I know when I see an obvious error. :-)
Wuukiee's WU below is a more balanced critique, perhaps.
