Witches

Wish I could give more than 5 stars honestly, the historical description, art, & poetry throughout this book was beyond amazing.

My landlord texted everyone through all the properties she owns that a resident who rented 2 apartments has passed away and if anyone would want to go through his books and take them for free. He owned thousands of historical books, mythological books, folk lore, etc. This book was among a few that I grabbed to take home. I do not regret it at all. I feel honored to have the opportunity to have gotten this book for free. It took me 3 hours to read and I loved every second of it. I was so intrigued that I couldn't put it down.

It felt a bit too Wiccan inspired, grossly misinformed about Satanism and seemed kinda anti-Christianity as well. It also sort of felt like beliefs I didn't hold were shoved in my face. I'm a Pagan, but I do not believe in the duality of good and evil. I believe they are extremely subjective and at worst, nonexistence. I also do not practice Paganism because of ecology reasons. I do care about Mother Nature but not in a religious or spiritual sense.

There was also a part where the "history" or what felt like "history" about witches was extremely questionable. Though besides these problems, it was an alright read, but I don't think I would really recommend it to anyone.

The artwork was really pretty though.
