About the Book

Illes gathers historical figures such as Marie Laveau and Tituba, goddesses and legends like Hekate, Circe and Baba Yaga, and witches from books and film, from Endora to the Wicked Witch of the West. She also covers the witch trials and the tools of the craft. It reads as an entertaining introduction for anyone curious about who, across time, has been called a witch.
