Witches: True Encounters with Wicca, Wizards, Covens, Cults and Magick

Witchcraft is known to the initiated as "the Old Religion." If the word "witch" conjures up images of a Halloween hag on a broomstick, you will be surprised to meet the many real witches, both ancient and current, presented here by Hans Holzer. An expert in the subject who has documented and participated in many forms of witchcraft over the years, Holzer explores its myriad forms and factions, taking readers inside secret rituals and ceremonies, recording spells and incantations and offering personal testimony from practitioners of all kinds. Using the unprecedented access and trust he has developed over many years, Holzer sheds light on "the craft" as no one before has done, creating a rich and vibrant chronicle of witchcraft: a subject of never-ending fascination, awe and mystery.
