What is a witch? How have they been a part of history, pop culture, and in everyday life from history to today? Find out in the revised Witches: A Compendium by Judika Illes from Weiser books. 

Witches introduces you to a range of witches and how they have interacted with, impacted, and influenced society through the ages.  Included are witches of history such as Marie Laveau, Tituba, Merlin, and the Countess Erzsebent Bathory to modern practitioners; divine witches; and witches of literature and cinema (TV and film) such as Samantha Stephens and Endora, Elphaba and Glinda, and the Sanderson Sisters.

Also included are tools for a modern witch, travel tips, animals associated with witches and more.  This is a great handbook to learn about a variety of witches as well as eplore the question yourself: "Am I a witch?"
