| Publisher Description: "Magic and Witchcraft" is one of the better attempts at a condensed but comprehensive guide to some of the more interesting tales of witchery from times past. Written in the middle of the 19th century, it details some of the notorious trials of the burning times, a few tales of Satan, and a pair of extremely interesting stories from antiquity, including the infamous Lamia. Its treatment of these subjects is at once full of secular-era ridicule and the twain tendency of the times to render all non-christian activities to the explicitly fallen and degenerated. In doing so however this work is not, as some from the era, made less effective. It is a wonderful short guide to witch hunting and demonology. |
