Scott Cunningham

Scott Cunningham (June 27, 1956 - March 28, 1993) was an American author known for his writings on Wicca and magic. He was a pivotal figure in the modern Neopagan movement, and his book "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" became a classic in contemporary Wicca. Cunningham's accessible writing style brought ancient Wiccan traditions to modern practitioners, particularly those who preferred solitary practice. He authored over twenty books covering witchcraft, magic, and herbalism, profoundly influencing the development of American Neopaganism. Cunningham died from AIDS-related complications at age 36. more

“I have been moving around all my life. Going to different schools, living in different houses, shedding old roles, assuming new ones. This way of life is as natural to me as staying in one place is for other people. I do variations on the theme. I return to places where I used to be. I find my old personas. I try them on. If they still fit, I wear them out to a party or a show. If they begin to restrict my movements, I take them off. I am a human being, capable of mimicking anything I see or remember or can imagine.”
