I love Judika Illes, I'm so fond of her books. And this book takes the cake. I've always been into witchcraft, but I found it challenging to find books that accurately related to my feelings about the subject. Her collection of these books blew me out of the water. I would definitely recommend to any person interested in the subject, intentions good or bad. It gives you a greater understanding of beliefs from around the world. It does not have images no, but, I didn't buy it to look at pictures. Five stars.
Clearly I have no read the entire book yet seeing as how it's over 800 pages. I do love the in depth descriptions of all the terms I have read so far. I love that it's not just the authors personal opinion on topics it's information and facts from around the world and different cultures. I also love the fact that this book is all content and not filled with random drawings or sketching or stupid things wasting valuable page space like other books I've seen. I can't wait to finish the book
I love this encyclopedia. I bought the physical book version (which I highly recommend VS. Kindle: while Kindle is great, there's just something about a physical book that adds character). I found it comprehensive, and entertaining. This book covers pop culture, history, legends, and more. My only minor complaint was some of the entities detailing old stories or fictional things (such as TV shows) didn't explicitly explain they were fictional accounts. But that could also just be me not reading thouroughly enough.This encyclopedia covers everything about the history and lore of witchcraft. It covers some herbs and spells, but mainly it focuses on history. For example: It covers several historic cases of witchcraft trials and "well-known witches". If you're looking for a book of spells and witchcraft instructions, this is not the book for that purpose. This same other does have several other books fitting that category however. One is "The Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells." Well I haven't read that particular encyclopedia, anything written by this author seems to be well researched, easy to follow, and entertaining. She is a good writer and there is a down-to-earth quality to her writing. Almost like she's talking to you rather then you reading a book. Highly recommend this book!
This is a fantastic book. The author knows her stuff and I like that she writes with both seriousness and humor. I think some folk were disappointed in the lack of pictures; I was not. The information contained within the book makes up for any lack of pictures. I was looking more for content, and that's what this book is.
Excellent information in an easy to read, enjoyable format. I definitely recommend this book.
I purchased this for my wife. I marked five stars because she is constantly reading this giant encyclopedia. Happy wi(tch)fe, happy life.
This book is so packed full of information. I used sticky notes to go back to the interesting facts. If you love the history of witchcraft you will enjoy this book. She has many others as well that go along with this one.
Very good information. The author of this book is very straight forward about everything and touches on any and all topics of the craft. Best book I have ever read about the craft.
