description: Witches have been a story-telling staple in world culture for thousands of years, and are more popular than ever thanks to their high profile in hugely successful TV, film and book series such as Harry Potter, and C.S. Lewis' classic The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Witches examines many of the most famous witches from history and mythology in detail, with biographical data and notes on their abilities and achievements. The book also investigates the many varied types of witch, and how they relate to other spell-casters such as wizards, sorcerers, alchemists, and mystics. Most aspects of the witch's craft are discussed in full, from the 'tools' and familiars vital for magical success through to witch cults, covens and sects.
