The witch in history is very different from the image of Harry Potter or the modern day Pagan. A Brief History of Witchcraft sets out to explore how the witch phenomenon began in medieval Europe and how it has continued to haunt us for the next 500 years. In her fascinating history Lois Martin's looks at how folk tradition and religion clashed with devastating effect - one of the greatest conspiracy theories of all and the most brutal regime of persecution ever seen. From early theories of the Devil, a new cosmology of demons and dark arts evolved; deluded old women were transformed into instruments of evil. This culminated in the Witch craze of the 16th and 17th century, which may have claimed the lives of up to 40,000 people.

When a Grand Wizard puts a ban on witches changing themselves to princesses, Bella must marry a real prince to make her dream come true.

Witchcraft is as old as time but few really know what it consists of beyond magic, spells, and enchantment. As this insightful volume reveals, witchcraft above all is the renewal of an ancient tradition. It describes the practices of the religion and features many witches who offer unique knowledge of the occult and mystical worlds. The experiences of the author, a leader of a coven of witches who follow the Old Religion and close associate of the revolutionary wicca Gerald Gardner, as well as her unique experiences in voodoo and obeah round off this essential guide to contemporary witchcraft.
