Summary

The word "witch" calls up the image of a cackling crone hunched over a cauldron or riding through the air on a broomstick and putting curses on people. Surprisingly for some, there are groups of otherwise ordinary people who refer to themselves as witches and demand recognition as a legitimate religion.; This reference presents a concise survey of the witchcraft movement worldwide, charting its development and covering neopagan concepts, rituals, practices and practitioners. It includes African religions, cross-quarter days, the horned god, Knot magic, sex magic, celtic tradition, evocation and invocation, incubi and sucubi, numerology and theosphy, amongst many other entries
