Review: Dazzle your friends this Halloween with your excellent knowledge of witchcraft and witchy history - If truth be told, we've all got - to some extent or other - a healthy or otherwise fascination with witches; even if it's a bit of witchcraft-lite on 31st October each year. And this book is indeed a fascinating read for anyone even remotely curious about the origins and evolution of witchcraft. The wonderfully - and one can't help think appropriately-named Delores Wren has done a great job of blending history, culture and belief into a compelling page-turner with a narrative that’s both educational and entertaining. The approach is balanced and respectful. It doesn’t sensationalise the subject but instead offers a thoughtful look at how witchcraft has been viewed across different centuries and cultures - from ancient practices and misunderstood healers to the horror of witch trials, and on to the rise of modern Wicca and neo-paganism. The book is well-structured covering everything from early religious roots to how witches have been portrayed in literature and pop culture. I was especially engaged by the sections on lesser-known histories like the impact of witchcraft beliefs in Russia and the reminders that modern-day witch hunts are still a reality in some parts of the world. History buff, spiritual seeker or mystical-curious, this book offers a deep and surprisingly emotional look into a topic that’s too often reduced to stereotypes (ref the first paragraph of this review!). It’s informative without being dry and rich with insights. If your only witchy literary reference was the opening of MacBeth, or even if it isn't, this book is highly recommended if you want a serious yet accessible deep dive into the world of witchcraft.
Review: Immediately addresses the typical misconceptions of witchcraft through the ages - This book is detailed in its examination of the origins, practices, and myths surrounding witchcraft, how and why it was related to the social conditions within particular times and how and where it is still practised today. A great read for anyone interested in the occult.
