The life and legacy of author, herbalist and pagan trailblazer Scott Cunningham


In his all too brief lifetime, Scott Cunningham (1956-1993) wrote over 16 books which beteeen them changed the way that pagans, wiccans and occultists practiced and thought about their craft. Over thirty years after his death, his books remain hugely influential .


Tonight, join his sister, author Christine Cunningham Ashworth for an intimate talk and Q&A about Scott, inspired by her acclaimed book Scott Cunningham – The Path Taken. Discover the personal stories behind his beloved works and gain insight into the man who shaped modern Pagan literature.

" Here you will learn how Scott, writing in the 1970s and 80s, felt he had to live in two closets, both as a gay man and as a witch. Still, he legitimized solitary witchcraft by helping individuals 'remember' the natural, everyday practice of magic; he made Wicca, its knowledge, and essential practices, available to everyone."
--Mary K. Greer, author of Women of the Golden Dawn and Archetypal Tarot


Christine Ashworth's biography of her brother, Scott Cunningham - The Path Taken - Honoring the Life and Legacy of a Wiccan Trailblazer, was published in September 2023 by Red Wheel/Weiser Books. You can find her at ChristineAshworth.com.
