BOOKS

The history of witchcraft, Paganism and Druidism in Western EuropeTravel through time from the comfort of your living room. Join us as we explore the history of Witchcraft and Druidism. Witchcraft is not what many people believe it to be. For centuries people have held misconceptions about witchcraft and witches, linking them with the Devil. Interestingly, many witches do not even believe in the Devil! Do you picture an old toothless hag living alone in the woods? In reality witches are often indistinguishable from others you pass on the street every day. Are they Satan worshippers who cast the "evil-eye", or nature lovers concerned about protecting the environment and all living things? Explore the world of Wicca and the reverence of "Mother Nature".
