Wizards and their mysteries

From the Latin sortiarius, meaning "one who works spells or uses spells", the sorcerer excels in the art of wielding words, characters, signs or talismans capable of producing extraordinary and generally malefic effects. This book, written by a specialist in traditional sciences, offers a fascinating study of witchcraft, free from romanticism and the distorted interpretations of our modern gaze. It presents a complete history of witchcraft since Antiquity, the story of the great trials during the Inquisition, the Sabbath rite, the power of witches, communication with the Devil and demons, a gallery of portraits of famous witches through the ages, an anthology of witch-hunting manuals from the Middle Ages... A fascinating, rich and instructive compendium that will delight history buffs and fans of demonic epics alike.
