We would like to thank Doreen Valiente for her invaluable help in providing information, for permission to reproduce several ritual passages which she herself wrote for Gardner’s Book of Shadows, and for reading our manuscript before publication.
We are grateful to Messrs. Faber & Faber for permission to quote extensively from Robert Graves’ The White Goddess.
We are also grateful to the Society of the Inner Light for permission to use passages from Dion Fortune’s The Sea Priestess as part of our Handfasting Ritual.
