"Witches" is a fully illustrated history of witchcraft and the black arts, written by the well-known authority on the occult, Colin Wilson, and illustrated by the established artist Una Woodruff, who also has a particular interest in the subject and a special talent for portraying atmosphere in her excellent artwork. Witches are discussed and revealed in this book from the earliest times with the Witch of Endor and Merlin through medieval witch cults to the modern day faith healers and wart charmers. All aspects of the subject are covered - including witch trials, black masses, spells, voodoo, covens and rituals, psychic powers and possession, earth spirts and werewolves. -- Book jacket.
