A wide-ranging history which provides a clear-eyed portrait of a deeply mysterious icon of the human imagination: the witch. The witch is an indelible part of our cultural imagination, but what do we really know about her? Is she a hapless victim of history or symbol of female resistance? What's really the difference between a wise elder and an old crone? Witches and Witchcraft sifts through the rich and contradictory evidence to trace the development of the witch as a cultural phenomenon. Ultimately, the changing face of the witch is a mirror of our constantly changing ideas of spirituality, magic, creativity, gender, and the human relationship with the natural world. The witch's story is far from over. AUTHOR: Richard Faulk is the author of 'Gross America: Your Coast-to-Coast Guide to All Things Gross' (2012) and is currently working on a follow-up volume.
