Witch by Candace Savage

The witch has always been a figure electric with possibility and, sometimes, with menace. A legendary shapeshifter, she has recast her image to fulfil the dreams and nightmares of each passing century. She is the devouring mother, the vengeful wife, the possessed devil worshipper, the resentful old hag and the high priestess. Yet throughout her proud and painful history, she has remained shrouded in mystery. This book views her portrayal from 15th century Europe to the present day and includes literary and visual representations of witchcraft.
Candace Savage is the author of numerous intemationally acclaimed books, including Beauty Queens, Cowgirls, Aurora and Bird Brains.
