Critics Review
‘Traces traditions from the paganworld through the medieval heresy hunts and the witch crazes of the 16th and 17th centuries and to the present day’ - Guardian
‘Has, for over four decades, been one of the most accessible general overviews of the topic available. Over fifteen years ago, Brooks Alexander helped bring the classic work up to date with additional chapters on modern Pagan witchcraft. Now, in its latest edition, the book is pulled right into the 2020s with discussions of Covid-19 and changing gender politics. If you’re looking to learn more about witchcraft, then this is a good place to start’ - Ethan Doyle White, author of PAGANS
‘Well worth reading and shines a light on some well-known stories’ - Facts & Fiction
