The 1980sTime Period: 1980 - 1989
In the 1980s, the Wicca/Paganism movement in the U.S. continued to flourish, with Llewellyn titles such as
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by
Scott Cunningham and
Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by
Ray Buckland leading the way, becoming standard texts for many covens and solitaires.
Llewellyn also expanded into magazine publishing with the purchase in 1988 of
FATE Magazine. First published in 1948 by the legendary Ray Palmer and Curtis B. Fuller,
FATE was the world’s first magazine devoted to exploring paranormal phenomenon and is the longest running periodical of its genre.
