Witch and Wizard (Eyewitness Guides)

A guide to the mysterious world of witches and wizards - who they are and what they do. Photographs of magical implements and tools, costumes and magic-makers in action show the legacy of mysterious practices that have existed in the world, and which, in some regions, are still very much alive today. The book contains a catalogue of magical amulets and talismans, magic dolls from different cultures and tools for divining and predicting the future. Readers can learn which animals are traditionally associated with witchcraft and how magic was practised in ancient civilizations. Safe and simple spells are included.
