Welcome to The Museum of Witchcraft, an eclectic exploration of witchcraft and magic through 100 objects, practices and symbols.

Every sense is tingling. Even the dust here is rich, imbued with the past. It's cold, and quiet, so why don't you feel completely alone? On your skin, you can feel the subtle caress of the power in the objects here. It makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You are beginning to understand that witches have power...

From cauldrons, candles and curses to Tarot, trees and toads, this book is a fascinating tour of the occult, exploring the icons, artifacts and traditions that have stirred fear and fascination for centuries. With magical bespoke illustrations and text written by an expert in witchcraft and the supernatural, The Museum of Witchcraft is a beautifully illustrated almanac of all things esoteric.
