Way of The Witch

A descendant of the old Bengal aristocracy, from the houses of Cooch Behar and Mayurbhunj, Ipsita created a storm when she declared herself a 'witch'. She is credited with singlehandedly bringing Wicca to India and presenting before the people, an understanding of the supernatural, divorced from superstition. Ipsita is the Founder-Chairperson of The Wiccan Brigade, India's first academy for the study of Wicca and other areas of the esoteric. It is under Ipsita's pioneering research that the first investigations into the orb phenomenon as spirit manifestation has been carried out in India. Ipsita is the author of many books on Wicca and allied subjects and many of her stories have been adapted for film and television as well. Over the years, Ipsita's journey as a Wiccan has been fascinating. It has taken her from a chalet in the Laurentian Mountains, to the temple of the 64 yoginis in Hirapur, and to the academic world of UK. But her Destiny has always been Wicca and today, in India and the subcontinent, one can truly say that Ipsita is Wicca and Wicca is Ipsita.
