Witches

Presenting a modern overview of paganism and magic, arranged alphabetically and cross-referenced throughout, this book includes interviews with present-day witches in a wide-ranging exploration of the practice of black magic and white witchcraft. Its topics extend from the tribal shamans of primitive societies to notorious figures of contemporary occultism, such as Aleister Crowley and Charles Manson.;The author sets out to dispel the myths which have cloaked the subject for so long, and examines the revival of interest in "white" magic, linked closely to dissatisfaction with traditional religions.
