Witchcraft

"Casting a Spell: a clay effigy is offered at the altar by the High Priest during a Wicca healing ceremony."



"A white witch demonstrates the security and spiritual ease to be found inside the protective confines of the pentagram."


"The postulant, bound with cords, stands outside the magic circle."


"The High Priestess and the High Priest combine their powers to breathe life into a witch effigy which he is holding."


"A High Priestess points her dagger skywards to enlist the aid of the spirit forces."


"Anton LeVay, High Priest of the Church of Satan in San Francisco, expound his doctrine - a mixture of black magic and self-indulgence - to a young hopeful (below); in the picture above he leads a ceremony with members of the cult."

In honor of Halloween, I thought I'd post some photos from an old book on witchcraft I found. The book is entitled Witchcraft and it's written by Eric Marble. It's published by Octopus books.
