Witches

Jong, Erica
"Best-selling author Erica Jong here turns her attention to the fantastical and factual world of witchcraft. She explores the figure of the witch both as historical reality and as archetype - as Halloween hag and full-breasted seductress, as a lingering vestige of a primeval religion and a projection of fear of the unknown. On page after page filled with magical illustrations by Joseph Smith, Erica Jong treats the witch as a survivor of the age of sorcery, as a scapegoat for male-dominated church-state politics, as a remarkable natural healer, and as a hexer without peer. In poetry and prose, she relates tales of torture and triumph, a gallery of witches' familiars, real recipes for love potions and flying lotions, and formulas for spells and incantations that make this volume rich with mystery and delight." -- From jacket.
