Nor is our own emancipation from a belief in magic very far advanced, as is demonstrated by our continuing observance of superstitions. Professor Marwick's collection of Readings paints a fascinating picture of the current worldwide status of witchcraft'. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***A very interesting book - surprisingly uncommon now in any printing. Of particular interest to those studying the social history of Witchcraft and Sorcery. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only, and we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate (e.g. for paperbacks and pamphlets).
