Witchcraft And The Scots - Paperback

Crowther, Arnold: - Arnold Crowther had a natural kinship with Scotland. His mother was a Scot, born on the Isle of Mull. He also worked in Scotland in his capacity as a professional magician and puppeteer. During the 1930s he was invited to entertain the then Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose in Buckingham Palace. In W.W.2 Crowther joined ENSA and entertained the troops in England and North Africa. During a summer show at Shanklin, Isle of Wight in 1956 Crowther met Patricia Dawson, another artist in the same show, with whom he developed a close relationship. On the 6th June 1960 he was initiated into the Craft of the Wise by his partner Patricia Dawson, whom he married in November of that year. He was initiated in the presence, and in the covenstead of his old friend Dr. Gerald Brosseau Gardner, in Castletown Isle of Man. Crowther became the High Priest of the Sheffield coven which he ran with Patricia from November 1961 until his death in 1974. His autobiography "Hand in Glove" was later produced and broadcast by BBC Radio Bristol and other radio stations and can now be viewed on YouTube.
