To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick reference guide with gorgeous photos to add to your macabre library. There are a lot of excellent photographs and good use is made of box text diving into specific practices and practitioners that needed a bit more coverage.Visually stunning, would be good as a coffee table book, covering a vast array of beliefs and rituals throughout human history. The spellbound in book with the spell the fog, lift the enchantment, and vivid Lee illuminate this perennially fascinating subject. Two vastly different worlds collide when an Amish boy, Samuel Lapp, becomes the sole witness to the murder of an undercover cop while visiting Philadelphia with his mother Rachel. There are several interesting books that cover the Salem Witch Trials, the ones that I have listened to are very good at covering and explaining the Witchfinder General. In fact, one of my favorite books growing up was their herbal remedies book, which I tracked down as an adult.

They also publish books for children, toddlers and babies, covering such topics as history, the human body, animals and activities, as well as licensed properties such as LEGO, Disney and DeLiSo, licensor of the toy Sophie la Girafe. The sections are: Ancient roots (prehistory to 400 CE), Curse or Cure (400-1500), Scholars and Sabbats (1500-1700), Secrecy and Ceremony (1700-1900), and Modern Magic (1900 onward). As it stands, it was interesting to read in 2-10 page chunks, and I’m glad to have it as a reference resource in my library.The authors did a good job of trying to differentiate between magical practices, superstition, and religions still being practiced (which only showed up as they intersected with magical practices, like the Christian persecution of witches). James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones.
