Witches...

It is time to shake the wand of serious, scientific research at the stereotypes that still haunt the perception of Witchcraft. It is time to dispel the sweet and fearful fantasy of evil and find out who are today's Witches. Are they, as Shakespeare called them, dark and midnight hags? The answer might surprise you.

...who are they?

A Profile of Modern Witches

CONTENTS

Portrait of a Witch


    The red-rimmed eye, hooked, green nose with its hairy wart, and shock of unkempt hair protruding beneath a tall black pointed hat. That is what we all knew witches looked like when we were children. But what do they look like now?

    —Quoted from Witchcraft Out of the Shadows (2004).

    Who are today's Witches?
    How old are they
    What is their education
    What jobs do they do?
    What social classes do they belong to?
    What is the racial make-up of toady's Witches?
    Are more women than men Witches?

The Widening Circle


    In a little under twenty years after Witchcraft Today appeared in 1954, observers of the Occult scene were beginning to hazard guesses that there might be as many as one or two thousand active Witches.

    —Quoted from Witchcraft Out of the Shadows (2004).

    How many Witches are there today?
    How has this number changed over time?
    Where do most Witches live?

Coven and Hedgewitch


    In threes or thirteens, Witches always meet in symbolic numbers, at least that is what we always thought.

    —Quoted from Witchcraft Out of the Shadows (2004).

    Why is it believed that Witches meet in groups of thirteen?
    How is Witchcraft organised?
    Why do Witches meet together?

Conclusion


    What is the 'society of Witches'?

In Witchcraft Out of the Shadows I answer all of these questions.
