Erica Jong, Joseph A. Smith: Witches (Paperback, 2004, Harry N. Abrams) 2 stars

Review of 'Witches' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

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.
