Delve into the beguiling history of witches and uncover a fascinating world laden with myth, magic, and superstition. The Story of Witches offers tantalizing 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 will separate fact from fiction by exploring the demonization and reclamation of witches throughout history. The book is split into three chapters: Witches of Myth and Legend, Witch Trials and Witch Beliefs, and 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 exquisite book brimming with enthralling superstitions, myths, and facts spanning the long history and future of witches and witchcraft, featuring 16 enchanting illustrations by Katie Ponder.
