Surrounded by the aura of magic, witches have captured our imagination
for millennia and fascinate us now more than ever. No longer confined
to the image of a hexing old crone, witches can be kindly healers and
protectors, tough modern urban heroines, holders of forbidden
knowledge, sweetly domestic spellcasters, darkly domineering, sexy
enchantresses, ancient sorceresses, modern Wiccans, empowered or
persecuted, possessors of supernatural abilities that can be used for
good or evil -- or perhaps only perceived as such. Welcome to the
world of witchery in many guises: wicked, wild, and wonderful!
