The Virago Book Of Witches Paperback – September 26, 2023

This is not your average book about witches. It contains stories of folklore, mythology and legends of witches from around the world. Each story is very interesting in it's own way. I particularly loved the story 'The First People and the First Corn', which is a North American Indian witch tale and explains how certain things came into being. If you want to learn more about real witch folklore, this book is a must read.

Interesting combination of in-depth research, mythology, cultural enlightenment and entertainment. This book covers the subject of witches like no other - and describes fables and folklore about prominent witches from 50 different countries and cultures.

Im fascinated with witches (i grew up in the 90s with shows and movies like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Craft, etc!) But i guess i like my witch stories to be light and fun dealing with potions and magic. I found this book to deal alot with sex! This may be for you if youre really interested in the darker side of witches.

I am not picky with books but thia was extremely boring and had a most negative outlook on witches. Very misleading.

Loved this book and it was delivered in perfect condition!

What a gift to folklore and fairy tales this book is! Wise and funny, I found many tales I heard as a child that I thought forgotten - lovely to discover them once more and see these stories of the witch the world over!

Bought as a gift.

Good gift for my partner who is not a witch

I was expecting these go be very fairytale like but they were quite boring and they had a very dry quality. I ended up returning it quite fast. A shame as my hopes were rocket-high.
