Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice since the 1980's. His work reflects a wide ranging eclectic and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths. He writes with a focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than as an innate set of talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. Each book is a field guide rather than a piece of philosophy. Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice since the 1980's.
