Popular Witchcraft: Straight from the Witch's Mouth (Ray and Pat Browne Book) (Ray and Pat Browne Books (Paperback))

Summary

This was the first book to be published on popular American witchcraft. Newly revised for twenty-first-century readers, the author - an ordained but fallen exorcist - tells all about the evil eye, the queer eye, women and witch trials, the Old Religion, magic Christianity, Satanism, and New Age self-help. Jack Fritscher sifts through legends of sorcery and the twisted history of witchcraft, including the casting of spells, with a focus on the growing role of witchcraft in popular culture and its mainstream commercialization. As seriously historical as it is fun to read, there is no other book like it.
