In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I welcome  author Jason Mankey to the podcast to discuss his book High Priest: Raymond Buckland the Father of American Witchcraft. We delve into the life and legacy of Raymond Buckland, his influence on modern witchcraft, from bringing Gardnerian Wicca to the United States to his welcoming approach towards the LGBTQ+ community. We also touch on Buckland's key works, including the iconic Big Blue Book, and the establishment of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Cleveland, Ohio. Join the conversation to learn more about the history and evolution of witchcraft in America and the significant contributions of Raymond Buckland.
