New Scott Cunningham book? Yowza!

[crowdog66]

There's a new Scott Cunningham book coming out in October:

Llewellyn is pleased to present a new Scott Cunningham book—a long-lost Book of Shadows. Recently discovered in a battered manila envelope, this previously unpublished manuscript was penned by Scott in the late 1970s or early 1980s. This rare book includes original spells, rituals, and invocations and an herbal grimoire. Featured in the design are Scott's actual hand-written notes and hand-drawn signs, symbols, and runes.

More than ten years after his passing, Scott Cunningham is still an iconic and highly regarded figure in the magical community. His books on Wicca are considered classics, and his writings continue to inspire and inform those new to the Craft.

Am I excited? You betcha!

That's pretty neat. Cunningham's contribution to the pagan community has been priceless, and as an herbalist, I owe him a great deal, even though I eventually took the scientific route.

I'm excited and sad at the same time. Who is to say that he would have wanted his BoS published?? It's almost a violation of privacy. I know he's been dead for 16 years... but still....

Maybe there was a note on it that said it was okay to publish? But that's unlikely if it took them this long to find it in a beat up manilla envelope..... :/

I'm torn. I want it, but I don't want to violate his previous privacy... LOL :)

So. Want. To. read.

So. Afraid. of. Disregarding. Privacy (like Eastpath said....

But still cool. In the end I'll probaly add it to my wish list. There's a ton of good books out there by him that I've never had a chance to read.
