Features

30 The Grandmother of Wicca (cover story)
From pioneering studies in Egyptology to fighting her corner as a feminist academic, Margaret Murray was a true trailblazer. Her folklore-driven studies of witchcraft created an image that has stuck to this day - and she even found time to be an occult advisor on 1957's Night of the Demon. Brian J Robb explores the life and times of the woman behind the still controversial 'witch-cult' theory.

38 Burning the Man
This year The Wicker Man turns 50. In a previously unpublished interview, Cathi Unsworth spoke to director Robin Hardy about the film's chequered history and enduring appeal.

42 The Incorruptibles
As the incorrupt body of a nun sees pilgrims flocking to a Benedictine abbey in Missouri, Ted Harrison asks if a life well-lived can help the saintly dodge decay after death and goes in search of the peculiarly well-preserved remains of the great and the good.
