Witches and Pagans is a sourcebook for Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade

Summary[]

From the White Wolf Catalog:
Cauldron Fires Burn Bright
Once every month, when the moon is full, they meet to honor the Old Gods. Some meet in deep forests, others within circles of standing stones. Some whisper the names of their gods while others shout defiantly. They are the hidden children of the Old Ones, those who walk the left-hand path, and their magick is ancient. These outcasts stand at the edge of civilization, riding the changing tides of religion and war.
From Darkness, Enter Light
Combining the familiar with the unexpected, this Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade book is both a source of new spells and a functional grimoire for your characters.
Initiation rites, practical potions, white magick, dark magick and the gray places in-between are all included. Also, origins of the Verbena, blood rites, storm summoning, Christian witchery, fertility spells and more.

Background Information[]

A disclaimer on the credits page reminds readers that this work is not a reference on modern-day Wicca or neo-paganism.

This book was never printed in 2000-2001, but was available as an e-book. It is so far not offered as a print on demand book option on DrvethruRPG.

The White Wolf 2000 Jul-Dec. Catalog has a different text entry for the book:

To Bend and Break...

Like trees in a tempest, the witches bend to the force of Christendom. Like gnarled oaks, the Pagans stand on timeless hills and watch the human parade. Every so often, these hidden souls rise in joy or anger. When they do, the bonfires crackle and the townsfolk stir uneasily in their beds.

Or Rise Anew

From bards and scholars to raving blood-pagans, from dusty halls of Egypt to the labyrinth-forests of Lithuania, the children of the Old Gods tend their ageless gardens. Hand in hand with forbidden deities, the witches and Pagans defy the Burning Times. Are they truly servants of the Adversary? Or keepers of an ancient Art? Do you dare to brace this forest?
