In prose and poetry, the witch is examined as historical reality and as archetype--Halloween hag, full-breasted seductress, natural healer, never without peer, scapegoat, and lingering vestige of a primeval religion--in a study that also features recipes for love potions, formulas for spells, incantations, and stunning full-color artwork.
