More About the Author
Gerina Dunwich (b. December 27, 1959, Illinois, United States) is a professional astrologer, occult historian, and New Age author, best known for her books on Wicca and various occult subjects. She is also involved in paranormal research and is the founder of the Paranormal Animal Research Group, which investigates cases of alleged hauntings by animal spirits.
Her first newspaper article (co-written with her cousin, Barbara Williams) was published in October 1976. It was an interview with singer/songwriter Jim Peterik from the local Chicago band, the Ides of March (and later, Survivor). By the spring of 1980 Dunwich was publishing a small press literary journal called Golden Isis, a one-woman operation that specialized in Goddess-inspired poetry and off-beat fiction.
In December 1993 she moved to Fort Covington, Franklin County, New York, where she opened a small shop on High Street called "The Country Witch" (later renamed "The Calico Cat Whatnot Shop"), which sold antiques, curios and various occult supplies. She officially established Coven Mandragora on Candlemas 1996 and served as its High Priestess. That same year she established the Wheel of Wisdom School (an educational organization offering correspondence courses on the sabbats) and the Pagan Poets Society (a literary circle for writers and publishers of Pagan poetry), along with a local networking organization known as North Country Wicca. In February of 1998 she received a ministerial license from the Universal Life Church. Dunwich is also the founder of the Bast-Wicca tradition.
A respected spokesperson for the Wiccan/Pagan community, Dunwich has been a guest on numerous radio talk shows throughout the United States and Canada. She has lectured and presented workshops at festivals and gatherings across the country, such as the CraftWise Pagan Gathering (Waterbury, Connecticut), the Real Witches' Ball (Columbus, Ohio), and Panpipes' Pagan Day Festival (West Hollywood, California).
A member of the Fellowship of Isis, Circle, the Pagan Poets Society, the Authors Guild, and the Authors League of America, Dunwich's biography is listed in a number of reference works, such as Who's Who in the East, Personalities of America, The Wicca Source Book, The Modern Witch's Complete Sourcebook, and Crossroads: Who's Who of the Magickal Community (published by The Witching Well Education and Research Center, 1988). She is also mentioned in Anne Carson's Goddesses and Wise Women (The Crossing Press, 1992) and other works. Her articles, poetry, and reviews have appeared in numerous publications, including Playgirl, American Woman, Magical Blend, Sage Woman, Circle Network News, and Pagan Free Press.
Gerina Dunwich lives in Western New York, where she owns and operates an antique shop. She is currently working on a new book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
it's a good reference book but it needs updating,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wicca Source Book - Revise (Paperback)
When i first bought the book I was overjoyed at the thought that I finally had the references I need to get my supplies and catalogs.When I would call or send for catalogs the business is no longer existing. It hard especially when you are living in a huge metro area. I need all the access I can get. It needs updating especially for the new millenia coming up. Please Ms. Dunwich update ASAP

outdated,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wicca Source Book - Revise (Paperback)
It is recommended that this book receive an update. Of 21 Mail Order Shops that I sent to, 10 are nonexistant to the US Post Office and I have only gotten catalogs from 2. I haven't even sent for information from other sections of the book because I have been so turned off by my waste of paper and postage. The information in the Who's Who section is interesting but if you read the back cover of your favorite books, you usually get a bio.

A must for the urban witch,
By kaseymyers@hotmail.com (medford, ma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wicca Source Book (Citadel Library of Mystic Arts) (Paperback)
I live in the Boston area, and believe me, this book is a must-have for anyone practicing the Craft in a urban area, even one as pagan-rich as Boston. I thought I had found every store in the area, but the wonderful Miss Dunwich led me to hidden gems, several not even in infamous Salem, MA. A vital addition to any occult/Wiccan collection.
