Stewart Farrar was a World War II veteran, an accomplished script writer and a journalist who worked for many prominent and respected media companies such as Reuters and the newspaper Reveille. As a world traveller, Stewart had the opportunity to meet and work with many fascinating people and noted celebrities during his career. He was also a gifted photographer. In 1969, at the age of 53, he met Alex Sanders - the infamous "King of the Witches" - and his wife Maxine while interviewing the couple for Reveille. The encounter introduced him to a world of Witchcraft and magic and changed the course of his life. Farrar left his job as a journalist and devoted his life and career to writing about the Craft. The many books he authored on Witchcraft, together with his wife, Janet Farrar, have become widely read and respected works on the topic. Elizabeth Guerra and Janet Farrar have collaborated to record and explore Stewart Farrar's life and career in detail. This book tracks Farrar's development from an eager and talented adolescent to a college student and dedicated Communist to a gifted journalist and television, radio and film script writer and finally to his later life as a practitioner of Wicca and author of many non-fiction books and science fiction novels. Stewart Farrar found Witchcraft by accident but devoted the rest of his life to the subject by educating others. He became one of the most prolific and much loved writers on the subject, and in doing so, helped to make Wicca a viable and accessible path for many.

Stewart Farrar didn't become involved in witchcraft until he was in his 50s. He was a WWII veteran, journalist, and free lance writer when he interviewed Alex Saunders and converted to witchcraft. For the rest of his life, he devoted himself to the religion and was one of its most important writers. He met his wife Janet shortly after becoming a witch and they, along with Doreen Valiente, became some of the most important writers about the religion. Valiente had worked with Gardner and wrote some of the most beautiful rituals. Valiente and Farrar, in their books, were honest, first of all. They didn't feel they had to invent old traditions in order to give the religion validity. Instead, they believed the experiences of the religion gave it its validity, and in their writings taught new Pagans how to craft a religion that worked.
Guerra knew Farrar, and after his death was asked by Janet Farrar to write Stewart's biography. It is an enjoyable read about an interesting, creative, amazing man. Recommended to those interested in modern Paganism. ( )
