The book is written in a fascinating way and debunks the established opinion about witches as an evil force. Practicing for 40 years, Laurie Cabot, a witch from Salem, talks about the history and origins of the power of witches - an image of female mythology, about the secret traditions of "witchcraft" and magic, describes techniques and rituals, "traditional" tools: magic mirrors, crystals, healing potions herbs and plants. The book is accompanied by historical information about the medieval trials of the Inquisition over witches, as well as the reasons for the deep-rooted negative attitude towards witchcraft.
