Witchcraft and Magic in Europe, Vol. 6: The Twentieth Century
Willem de Blécourt, Donald Hutton, Jean La Fontaine
Witchcraft today continues to play a role in European societies and imaginations. This concluding volume includes a major new history of the origins and development of English "Wicca" and an account of the circumstances in which the term "Satanist" has been used to label individuals or groups. The widespread prevalence of such phenomena proves the contemporary reality of beliefs in witchcraft and its threats.
The roots of European witchcraft and magic lie in Hebrew and other ancient Near Eastern cultures and in the Celtic, Nordic, and Germanic traditions of the Continent. For two millennia, European folklore and ritual have been imbued with the belief in the supernatural, yielding a rich trove of histories and images.

Each of the six volumes in the series contains the work of distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular era or region.
