Pavel Hork, Czech Academy of Sciences, Religious Studies Review Hutton's book is a must-read not only for anyone interested in modern Paganism, or the occult, but it also embodies a deep insight into the development of British society and culture.

Paula Dempsey, Fortean Times It is to the credit of Ronald Hutton that he has documented its history so clearly and recognises its spiritual value to so many people.

Northern Earth, No.83 Review from previous edition this work ... makes for excellent reading. Hutton's extensive scholarship allows him to make and clarify connections between people and movements in recent centuries.

Publishers Weekly spirited, amusing and immensely informative ... Hutton's exceptional work is by far the most scholarly, comprehensive and judicious analysis of the subject yet published. It will remain the standard for many years to come.

Journal of Ecclesiastical History A remarkable book ... passionate yet written with calm and clarity ... a passionate, important and consistently fascinating book.

Robert Irwin, The Independent The Triumph of the Moon, which is densely argued and heavily annotated, leaves little doubt that the history which modern occultism has constructed for itself is bunk ... It all makes for riveting reading and, despite Hutton's demolition of the supposed lineage of witchcraft, I am tempted after reading his book to become a witch myself.

T. M. Luhrmann, Times Literary Supplement Hutton's book is excellent ... Hutton uses his historical skills to tease apart some of the themes in this popular rural romanticism, and to locate their purely modern origin.


Katrina Dixon, The Scotsman Hutton's professional expertise shows paganism in a new light

Kevin Sharpe, The Sunday Times An excellent study of the only religion England gave the world: pagan witchcraft. Scholarly and incisive, writing with verve and passion, Hutton exposes the Victorian fascination with the pagan ... Hutton writes a brilliant history of a faith that draws on ancient texts yet speaks to present concerns.
