Witchcraft Set
The "Witchcraft Set" brings together three influential works that trace the many lives of the witch in European thought: feared and persecuted, imagined and desired, invoked as rebel, healer, visionary, and keeper of hidden knowledge. Spanning folklore, sceptical inquiry, literary history, and the roots of modern paganism, these volumes offer a rich introduction to the cultural and spiritual history of witchcraft.
Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches presents one of the most influential texts in the modern revival of witchcraft: a visionary blend of myth, ritual, and folk tradition centred on the figure of Aradia, teacher of magical resistance and liberation.
The Discoverie of Witchcraft, first published in 1584, is both a rational attack on superstition and one of the earliest great repositories of magical lore, preserving spells, beliefs, and practices from the early modern world.
Dreams of Witches gathers texts that nourished the poetic imagination behind twentieth-century pagan revival movements, illuminating how literature helped shape the witch as a modern spiritual figure.
Together, these books form a compelling small library of witchcraft: its persecutions, fantasies, survivals, and reinventions across the centuries.
