Miracles of Our Own Making

A History of Paganism

Liz Williams

'At last, we have a history of British Paganism written from the inside.'
- Ronald Hutton, author of The Triumph of the Moon

Miracles of Our Own Making is a historical overview of magic in the British Isles, from the ancient peoples of Britain to the rich and cosmopolitan landscape of contemporary paganism. Ranging widely across literature, art, science and beyond, Liz Williams debunks many of the prevailing myths surrounding magical practice, past and present, while offering a rigorously researched and highly accessible account of what it means to be a pagan today.

"An absolute must for anyone interested in the development of paganism in the modern world. I cannot recommend this book enough."
- Janet Farrar, co-author (with Stewart Farrar) of A Witches' Bible

"An inventive, authoritative and lively history of paganism and magic, with a practical twist. It deserves a wide readership."
- BCC History Magazine

"With good sense and sound judgement, our amiable guide takes us on a magical journey from the ancient world to the present day ... a fine overview of the mysterious and complex history of magic."
- Thomas Waters, author of Cursed Britain
