Beschrijving boek
Illustrated by Una Woodruff. With 41 full colour and 38 black-and-white illustrations throughout.
Witches - the very word conjures up mystery, darkness and fear, mainly because we know so little about all the cult and ritual surrounding witchcraft. It is a subject that erveryone has some knowledge of - often based on old wives’ tales and tall stories - but few know the facts behind the history of witchcraft. This book offers insight into the mystery.
‘Witches’ is a fully illustrated history of witchcraft and the black arts, written by the well-known authority on the occult, Colin Wilson, and illustrated by the established artist, Una Woodruff, who also has a particular interest in the subject.
Witches from the earliest times, such as the Witch of Endor and Merlin, are discussed, as well as medieval witch cults and modern day faith healers. All aspects of the subject are covered - including witch trials, black masses, spells, voodoo, covens and rituals, psychic powers, possession, earth spirits, and werewolves.
‘Witches’, with its visual excitement and informative and interesting text, is an important work for specialists as well as a fascinating book for the layman.
