LIKE A STORYBOOK FOR ADULTS

Am so pleased with this book. It's a refreshing read, full of history and fantasy, too. A real surprise among the other witch books out there. This one's unique!

A Halloween Gift I'll Be Giving to My Friends

Not only for that spooky time of year, which is almost upon us, WITCHES presents a colorful mythological, historical, folkloric, and fantasy-based picture of worldwide lore, fact and fantasy accompanied by lots of wonderful paintings and illustrations. Concise, well written; it's a pleasure to have in my varied book collection and impressive enough to give to my favorite friends as gifts.

A Well-Written Volume of Fact, Fantasy, and History

I very much liked this book, which gave a most enjoyable and broad overview of the subject. It's both entertaining and informational as well as beautiful to look at.

Eisenkraft-Palazzola Charms Us with a Different Viewpoint!

A totally different take on the majority of information available today. Refreshing in that Eisenkraft-Palazzola does not fancy herself a witch, and takes a totally impartial and optimistic, enthusiastic and happy look at a subject ordinarily dry and repetitious. No blackened cauldrons here; sunny, well-written account of the true story of goddesses, witches, and magic of the past. If you're a Wiccan, don't stop here; this volume is a delight, but offers no guidance or eerie suggestions for those who may fancy themselves modern-day witches. Instead, buy it for the delicious writings and elegant, lovely art!
