The World of the Witches
|
|
London, England: Phoenix Press, 2001. Trade Paperback. As New/No Jacket as Issued. Description: "The rise and decline of witchcraft around the world, as seen through the perceptive eyes of an anthropologist and historian well-acquainted with traditional Basque and Spanish folklore--which inspired this fascinating, macabre, and chilling book. Beginning with an analysis of the basic mentality of those who have believed in or practiced the magic arts, and covering witchcraft's startling rise throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, it launches into an absorbing and original study that upsets many of the popular notions about the nature and history of the subject. Includes much enthralling material from art, literature, and ecclesiastical and legal documents, as well as discerning psychological studies of witches and their accusers." Published at $19.95.

New York, New York: Arkana, 1996. Revised and Expanded Edition. Trade Paperback. Fine/No Jacket as Issued. A bright, tight copy. Description: Why are more than five hundred of the world’s Madonna images black or dark? Why is so little known about them? Black Virgins--a resurfacing of the powerful pagan goddesses of sexuality, the underworld, and earth wisdom--are symbols of power and majesty, the other side of the traditional Madonna’s virginity or tender maternity. They personify the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant in a quest for lost feminine wisdom and the search for soul. ISBN: 0-14-019510-6. more information

Religion and Magic in Ancient Egypt

|
London, England: Penguin Books Ltd., 2002. Trade Paperback. Near Fine/No Jacket as Issued. Remainder mark, otherwise a clean, tight copy. Book description: Every aspect of ancient Egyptian society-from education and law to medicine, birth, and death-was permeated by religion and magic, and dominated by divine life forces of the sun and the Nile. In this fascinating work, Rosalie David reveals the complex and intriguing world of gods and goddesses, tracing the history of Egyptian faith practices from the civilization's beginning through its growth into an empire and its later years as a Roman province. Concluding with a glossary and including new translations of Egyptian spells, this is an essential work for students, scholars, or anyone fascinated by the ancient world.

American Voudou: Journey into a Hidden World
|
|
Denton, Texas: University of North Texas Press, 1999. Trade Paperback. As New/No Jacket as Issued. "Davis, senior editor of Cooking Light magazine, documents a five-year journey into the world of voudou in the American South, specifically New Orleans, Miami, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Voudou is a largely misunderstood religion adapted from West African worship during the diaspora of slavery; this book is a chronicle of personal experience, observation, and reflection. Davis provides a view of a world hidden and protected from outsiders. The result is not a comprehensive study but a narrower appreciation of the way voudou is practiced in parts of the Southern United States, including an important discussion of sacrifice."--Library Journal.
