His pioneering book \u003ci\u003eWicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner\u003c\/i\u003e radically altered the practice of Wicca, enabling practitioners to self-initiate. Scott's books, especially his encyclopaedias, remain popular today, years after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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 and about his spiritual life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis little sister, Christine Cunningham Ashworth, seeks to remedy that. Her book is offered as a gift to all those influenced by Cunningham's work. Christine grew up with him, laughed with him, learned with him, fought with him, and shared joys and sorrows. This book is not a biography as much as it is a memoir. The author 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. She shares family photos and lifts the veil from Scott's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a foreword by Mat Auryn, author of \u003ci\u003ePsychic Witch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMastering Magic\u003c\/i\u003e, the book contains contributions from other key figures in today's world of witchcraft, magic, tarot, and astrology, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStephanie Rose Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmy Blackthorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorm Faerywolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNancy Hendrickson\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDorothy Morrison\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNicholas Pearson\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBenebell Wen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362981298412,"sku":"9781578638086","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1258363482750.jpg?v=1772908974","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/scott-cunningham-the-path-taken-by-christine-cunningham-ashworth-9781578638086","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
