Everybody should read this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Common knowledge about witchcraft brought to us through the ages has given us only half the story. WITCHCRAFT, A SECRET HISTORY brings to our attention the FULL story- at least so far as research has come today. It doesn't presume anything, so far as it appears, but gives sometimes several theories about the missing facts in history. I noticed a few errors in the typing, grammar marks and such, but as I was so enraptured by the reading I gave hardly a thought to them. Stunning, extremely high quality images run all throughout, giving life to the already illuminative text. Although, (and this seems to happen in quite a few books, oddly enough) I often found myself desperate for more than just a DESCRIPTION of the pictures. A title, artist (if applicable), and year would have been nice! However, I can see the rationale of purchasing this for the pictures alone, they are so magnificent. It was well worth the price I paid for it.
Best Coffee Table Book on the World History of Witches=
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This big colorful history book on witchcraft was a pleasure to view and read.Without belaboring the fact ,that it's a big picture book ,it does have many excellent stories along with them. There were some typos.Example: Vance Randolph,author of the excellent regional history book ,"Ozark Magic"(Dover pub.1940),was repeatedly listed as 'Vince Randolph'.This pictorial history book was much better, well-researched and more even-balanced than say Nigel Cawthorne's 'Witches-History of a Perscution'.The book proved to be worthy of a five-star rating,based on the vast topics and elaborative research presented.
Great Book, loved

It is beautifully pictured, great to read, is decidedly from a witches view wich I don't mind. I haven't read all that many books on history of the craft but I think this covrs all major aspects of the past.
Witchcraft A Secret History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The book that I have read was published in the United States in 2002. It is a BEAUTIFUL book, photographically. It seems to have some magic about it because of it's beauty. It also is THE BEST historical, non-biased view and version of witchcraft that I have read in my 5 years of studying "The Craft of the Wise." The author writes a seemingly accurate (moreso than most) account of Witchcraft and has many words to say of its "re-discovery" of which Gerald Gardner played such a large role. All things considered, this is a the best "academic" book that relates to Witchcraft, especially its latest developments as well as being an "enchanting" study of "The Craft."
