Witches have been misunderstood for centuries as advocates of the 'dark side', commonly (and wrongly) accociated with Satan and the Devil, but in reality, witches were natural healers and spiritual guides, and, like everyone else who didn't conform to the predominating religion, Christianity, they were considered evil and dangerous. These very misdirected assumptions all melt into thin air as Fiona details witch history (herstory), what the rituals mean, describing in full the meaning of annual festivals and the life of a witch, including moon worship, reincarnation and magickal music. Throughout are lots of very cool illustrations, from beautiful celtic borders and Japanese manga-style cartoons to personalised tarot cards and photo essays of actual rituals.From tips for effective witchcraft, interviews with High Priests and Priestesses and detailed how-to guides for all kinds of rituals with a whole reference library of contacts (from websites to books), Witch is a cyber-guide for the modern pagan.
