"Power of the Witch" is an extraordinary account of the beliefs and practices of a contemporary witch, known as the "offical witch of Salem". After the disappearance of the ancient matriarchal societies, witchcraft endured bitter presecution from the middle ages to the 17th century and still encounters ignorance, fear and loathing today. Breaking her faith's tradition of secrecy, Laurie Cabot refutes its roots and history, its rich and powerful feminine mythology, and its kinship with the earliest magic and with nature. She explains the weird and wonderful techniques to work magic - preparing potions, casting spells, charging objects - and reveals it to be very much a practical craft and one focused on healing, protecting and neutralizing harm.

i first read this book when i was 18 and it opened my eyes to the real world of wicca, everything laurie explains in this book about the old religion truly makes sense, and i found it very logical. i have since shared my copy of this book with a number of people, who all agree laurie is a great witch with great knowledge! this book has bought me much peace & happiness in my life, i hope it does the same for everyone else who reads it

Very complete
I´d reccomend this book for aspiring wiccans. It covers a wide range of spiritual, scientific and historical knowledge on the Craft. Cabot also adds some practical magick and spell recipes, but what makes this book really worth reading, in my opinion, is the experiences and true stories she tells about "real life" witches in Salem. A great book from a great Priestess.
