The book contains spreads on: spirits and familiars, old wives' tales, famous witches, healing and herbalism, wise women and cunning men. Each chapter is devoted to a related topic such as magic, witchcraft and witch hunts, building an anthropological investigation that shows clearly how an examination of magic in society is also a study of human history.
