Traditional witchcraft Options

I have been been pulled back and forth between Wicca and the Golden Dawn Kabbala for some time now. I know many combine the 2, but I have problems with that.

Recently, I gave up on Wicca, believing that a pure, non-diluted and non-tained stream of the Old Ways was simply not accesible to the public (excluding the Cultus Sabbati, but alas, I'm not rich! [sigh]). No offense, but modern neo-pagan Wicca just doesn't do it for me.

However, after stumbling across this site, and discovering R. Artisson's book, I might have to eat my words. Needless to say, the book, The Witching Way of The Hollow Hill, is on the top of my "To Get" list. Anybody out there know of this worK?

Let me know what you think.

Fortunatly teachings in Trad Witchcraft (not Wicca) are still possible if one finds the right people. However these practices do not make the books and the folks I have met who do practice them are definatly going to keep it that way.
There is also crossover between traditions....
Searching through older antro sources does help a lot though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
