The Evans Symposium: Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture and Moon Lady Rising

In 1975 Arthur Evans presented a series of lectures based on his research into LGBT history and cultural roots in European societies of the medieval era. The ground-breaking work was subsequently collected into the 1978 publication of his book Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture. Working with Arthur at the end of his life, White Crane Books convinced Evans to gather the remaining materials – that had been edited from the original book – into a sequel of sorts to that book. Arthur did so and called it Moon Lady Rising. We present the entirety of Arthur Evans’ work for his symposium material here.
