Description
Witchcraft has profoundly shaped the western imagination, and endures in the forms of modern-day Wicca and paganism. 'Embracing the Darkness' is an enthralling account of this fascinating aspect of the western cultural experience. A belief in the supernatural, and in black magic, has been central to western cultural life for 3000 years. From the Salem witch trials and the macabre novels of Dennis Wheatley, to the seductive sorceresses of Warner Brother's Charmed, and Derek Jarman's punk film 'Jubilee', witchcraft has profoundly shaped the western imagination. In this fascinating study, John Callow brings the twilight world of the witch, mage and necromancer vividly to life.
