Delve into the beguiling history of witches and uncover a fascinating world laden with myth, magic and superstition.
The Story of Witches offers a tantalising insight into the dark past and modern fascination with the occult in its many forms. Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, witches have cast a compelling spell over the cultural zeitgeist for hundreds of years, often occupying a space at the forefront of art and culture. In this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham separates fact from fiction by exploring the demonisation and reclamation of witches throughout history.
The book is split into three chapters:
1. Witches of Myth and Legend
2. Witch Trials and Witch Beliefs
3. The Wheel of the Year
From witch queens of fairy and folk tales and the Bell Witch Haunting, to the Witches’ Sabbath and the Green Witch, this book chronicles the spellbinding and varied forms that witches have taken across history.
An entrancing introduction to the complex history of witches and witchcraft that uncovers a world laden with myth, magic and superstition.
