Denny Witches explores what a witch is and the different ways to be one. Judika Illes presents the history, mysteries, and diverse natures of witches from around the world. Featuring a who's who ranging from famous--or infamous--historical witches such as Tituba, Sybil Leek, Aleister Crowley, Isobel Gowdie, and Countess Erzsebet Báthory (widely known as the Blood Countess) to popular literary, cinematic, and TV witches such as Endora, the Scarlet Witch, Melisandre, Storm, Agatha Harkness, and the Wicked Witch of the West, Witches also offers travel tips for witches and a guide to the tools of the trade such as brooms, wands, cauldrons, and mirrors. This celebration of witches and witchcraft also features: Sacred witches such as Baba Yaga, Lilith, Isis, Hekate, Diana, Circe, and Yemaya Familiars and creatures closely associated with witchcraft including cats, bats, crows, owls, and foxes Art witches like Moina Mathers, Vali Myers, Rosaleen Norton, Leonora Carrington, and Cameron Different schools of witchcraft including green witchery, kitchen witchery, Wicca, and Hekatean Witchcraft The various things witches do from divination to spirit working to spell-casting, A compendium of witches through the ages, from earliest prehistory to some of the most significant modern practitioners, Witches explores who and what is a witch. Ranging from such famed historical figures as Marie Laveau, Tituba, Sybil Leek, Isobel Gowdie, and Countess Erzsebet Báthory (popularly known as the Blood Countess) to popular literary and cinematic figures such as Endora, the Scarlet Witch, Storm, and the Wicked Witch of the West, Illes offers a complete range of the history of witches.
