Customer Reviews

An easy, informative and interesting delve into the secret world of witches and their craft
A lot of 'history of witchcraft' type books are extremely 'wordy' and hard to digest. This concise, well written and informative work is a joy to read. Filled with historical facts, a glossary or terms, tools, Sabbats, Gods and Goddesses, it closes with insightful interviews with some of the world's more notable practicing witches. An all round good read. Enjoy!

Jason Karls Secret world of Witchcraft
I loved this book. A change of direction for Author and TV presenter Jason Karl from his well known Ghost & Haunting books. It delves deeply and gives the reader a fascinating insight into every area of witchcraft and indeed at times reveals more about the craft than some would like known! Well written and totally spellbinding!
I'd thoroughly recommend Secret World of Witchcraft to anyone and everyone with an interest in the subject.

the secret world of witchcraft
I adore this book, its a real gem. it looks at the history of witchcraft but also explains a great many things in everyday life, sayings or customs which have their roots in witchcraft and early beliefs. i spent alot of time head burried in it say 'I never knew that' quite a lot.
I picked this book out of curiousity and read it from cover to cover twice, it does explain alot but only just scratches the surface and has left me wanting to know more. great book if you are curious about this subject.
