A moving portrait of&nbsp;the iconic figure who led the way in establishing Wicca in North America—with remembrances of his life by his&nbsp;sister, Christine Cunningham Ashworth, and appreciations written by key figures in today’s world of witchcraft, magic, tarot, and astrology.<br /><br />The iconic and renowned bestselling author Scott Cunningham (1956–1993) played a significant role in establishing Wicca in North America. His pioneering book&nbsp;Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner&nbsp;radically altered the practice of Wicca, enabling practitioners to self-initiate. Scott’s books, especially his encyclopedias, remain popular today, years after his death. In recent years, Scott has also emerged as a celebrated queer icon, especially in the witchcraft world. Although so many people have come to Wicca and Paganism through his books, little is actually known about Scott Cunningham as a person.<br />&nbsp;<br />His little sister, Christine Cunningham Ashworth, seeks to remedy that. Christine grew up with him, laughed with him, learned with him, fought with him, and shared joys and sorrows. She writes about their childhood, gives a peek into their parents’ lives, and brings to life what it was like to grow up in the Cunningham household. She explores the trajectory of Scott’s magical path and affirms his legacy. Christine shares family photos and lifts the veil from Scott’s life. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Featuring a foreword by Mat Auryn, author of&nbsp;Psychic Witch&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mastering Magick,&nbsp;Scott Cunningham—The Path Taken&nbsp;contains contributions from leading figures in today’s world of witchcraft, magic, tarot, and astrology, including Stephanie Rose Bird, Amy Blackthorn, Storm Faerywolf, Nancy Hendrickson, Dorothy Morrison, Nicholas Pearson, and Benebell Wen.
