What about her?

Hi @LexiHex!

I haven’t read any of Sibyl Leek’s works myself, but it looks like @Amethyst once mentioned her works in relation to Cunningham’s books:

@Amethyst

He published his possibly most well-known book, Wicca A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner in 1988. In the introduction he mentions the celebrated author Sybil Leek and that he had other, well-known Wiccans looking over the copy of the book, so he had friends among the pagan community.

Cunningham is one of the most popular Wiccan authors, especially for beginners, so I suppose it can be said that her works live on through those that she influenced?

I was curious, so I had looked into her and her works a bit more. From what I’m seeing, it sounds like she truly is quite the witch legend!

1969 was the year when Sybil Leek was first called “The World’s Most Famous Witch” following the publication of her best-selling autobiography, Diary of a Witch . Born in Stoke-On-Trent in England’s New Forest region, Sybil traced her lineage of Witchcraft back to at least 1134. After Britain’s Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951 she began to write about and practice the Traditional Craft knowledge openly guarded by her family. She was a wildly eccentric, volatile and brilliant person whose books first opened the secrets of the occult to the general public.

I’d love to know more about her and her works- if you come across anything you’d like to share about her, please feel free to do so!

Blessed be!
