Herman Slater (1935 - 1992) was an author of several occult books and storeowner of Warlock Shoppe, the oldest witchcraft shop in Brooklyn, New York, which later moved to the Manhattan borough of New York City and operated under the name Magickal Childe. He wrote The Magical Formulary, ISBN 0-939708-00-0, a well-sold witchcraft cookbook based on the inner workings of his shop and formulas to his potions. He also published the magazine Earth Religion News.

Magickal Childe functioned as a major focal point for the Neo-Pagan community in the 1970's and 1980's,^{[citation needed]} but finally closed in 1999.
