Martello was the founder of Witches' Anti-Defamation League and was a pioneer in the Witches Liberation Movement, and one of the most controversial and outspoken members of the pagan community In 1969 Witchcraft as we know it today was facing a revolution akin to the feminist wave and civil rights. The seeds of the Neopagan movement were planted as the teachings of witchcraft became popular among the younger generation. In his own distinct voice, Martello enlightens, entices, and enchants his readers with spells, incantations, and folklore as well as historic events in Witch-History and the Pagan Movement. It also includes the infamous Witch Manifesto in which Martello declares charges against the Catholic Church.
