The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft by Rosemary Guiley 1999, Paperback

Synopsis

This dark, thick, and richly informative tome runs the gamut from "Abracadabra" (a word originally used to ward off the plague) to zombies and the Zugarramurdi Witches (burned at the stake in 15th-century Basque country).

In addition to the book's wealth of arcane history and lurid details, there are photographs (a rogues' gallery of modern witches) and ancient woodcuts for many of the 500+ entries.

This is a must for the library of anyone seeking to become either a genuine witch or merely well-versed in the areas of the supernatural.

The more sensitive Wiccans may recoil at Guiley's gleefully non-judgmental inclusion of demons and black magic.

Nonetheless, from the beautiful J.W. Waterhouse painting on the cover on through to the haunting end, this big book is a class act that adds mystery and information in equal measures to the bibliographical stew.
