Ian Corrigan takes a stand !
August 9, 2007 – 3:55 pmIan Corrigan, (former Arch Druid ADF) writing as S. Parker has made public review of Gavin and Yvonne Frost’s book The Good Witches Bible.
An Unfortunate Mistake, July 4, 2007
“When this book came out in the early 70s, it was considered abject nonsense by the few folks who had any actual knowledge of Wicca in those days. The Frosts came out of nowhere, appropriating the term ‘Wicca’ for their own version of what religious witchcraft might be. Their synthesis bore almost no resemblance to the traditions of Wicca, either in ritual or theology, and certainly not in the grotesque suggestions about the sexual upbringing of children. It was a different age in those days, as ’swinging’ emerged as a lifestyle and many folks hoped for a real revolution in sexual mores - too bad the Frosts chose to add their wacky ideas to something that they chose to call ‘Wicca’.
This book was an embarrassment in 1972, and it’s an embarrassment now. It should be ignored by anyone interested in learning witchcraft or wicca. “

Bless you Ian Corrigan! I don’t suppose you could use your influence with ACE to cause Gavin and Yvonne Frost’s promotion by Starwood to be ended and issue a clear statement to that effect? Considering Isaac Bonewits’ (another former Arch Druid ADF) support of Gavin and Yvonne Frost, perhaps you could solicit a statement from ADF concerning the book and the long-standing association between ADF, Isaac Bonewits, and the Frosts.
Please do not get me wrong. I honestly am praising you for taking this step, but I have to ask for more.
