The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft by Rosemary Ellen Guiley
In more than 500 essays and 100 illustrations, the “Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft” examines the arts, practices and people associated with witchcraft. Rigorously researched, the volume draws from a broad range of world history, folklore, obscure texts, modern literature and exclusive interviews with witches of today. The popular image of witchcraft dates from the witch hunts of Britain and Europe in the 12th century, but can be applied to such different sects and philosophies as Satanism, Druidism and even astrology, all of which are investigated in this panoramic look at the craft and its practices.

Poppets and Magical Dolls
$22.95From the Pagan Portals Book Series Poppets and Magical Dolls: Dolls for Spellwork, Witchcraft and Seasonal Celebrations by Lucya Starza Poppets are dolls used for sympathetic magic, and are designed in the likeness of individuals in order to represent them in spells to help, heal or harm. The word poppet comes from the Middle Ages in England, originally meaning a small doll or child, and it is still in use today as a name of endearment. The term is older than the phrase `Voodoo doll'. Pagan Portals - Poppets and Magical Dolls explores the history of poppets and offers a practical guide to making and using them in modern witchcraft. It also covers seasonal dolls, from Brigid dolls, used in celebrations for the first stirrings of spring, to fairy dolls enjoyed in tree-dressing at Yuletide. Other topics covered include spirit dolls, ancestor dolls and dolls as representations of mythological beings and creatures from folklore. The newest book from Lucya Starza, author of Every Day Magic: A Pagan Book of Days.

By Spellbook & Candle
$14.95From the Pagan Portals Book Series By Spellbook & Candle: Cursing, Hexing, Bottling & Binding by Melusine Draco Why go to the bother of cursing, when a bottling or binding can be just as effective. Curses have given the world some of its greatest legends and folklore, and the more grisly and gory, the better we like them. But cursing, or ill-wishing, is not a practice confined to magical practitioners - black, white or grey - it is a form of expression intended to do harm in reparation for some real or imagined insult and can be 'thrown' by anyone of any race, culture or creed without any prior experience of ritual magic or witchcraft. According to the dictionary, however, a curse is defined as: To invoke or wish evil upon; to afflict; to damn; to excommunicate; evil invoked on another person. If this is the clear definition, then under what circumstances can we challenge this established way of thinking and ask ourselves can cursing ever be justified? And if we hesitate for just a moment, then we must ask the next question: Is cursing evil? Like all aspects of life, however, it is advisable to put things in their proper perspective before passing judgement.
