Rejecting the consensus view that female witches were simply 'hysterical' or subject to 'suggestion', she uses sound scholarship and comprehensive research to reveal that 'Devil-worship' was in fact a bona fide pre-Christian religion, that was forced 'underground' owing to ceaseless persecution by the Church authorities. \u003cbr\u003e All aspects of this 'Old Religion' are covered, from admission ceremonies and the 'witch-mark', through divining, fertility rites and the Sabbat, to spells and sacrifices - including those of children and even of 'the god' himself  According to the The English Historical Review, the book is \"so comprehensive in scope, and so rich and varied in its treatment of the witch-cult ...it is not likely to be superseded.\"\u003cbr\u003e This the full, original version of Murray's masterpiece, complete with Notes, Bibliography and five Appendices, including a chemical analysis of 'flying ointments'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911405888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911405887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aziloth Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Margaret Murray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049443455231,"sku":"9781911405887","price":14.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30f75ec7-2456-4004-9bff-d927318134c2.jpg?v=1685001527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-witch-cult-in-western-margaret-murray-9781911405887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
