	White Dragon Book Reviews
		Although this book is ostensibly about the subject of male witches, the process of accounting for male witches has revealed many interesting flaws in the methodologies of previous authors and also has changed the way that historians will view individual witchcraft cases in future work, whether they be male or female.
		The main point of the book was to flag up the consistent failure of most of the leading scholars of the last thirty years to account for male witches.
		What Apps and Gow have done in this book is bring case studies which show clearly that many of the male witches were treated in exactly the same way as women and that their presence in court records was for the same reasons, not simply by association.

	Seasons Natural Toys - Books about Witches & Wizards
		This is a REAL witches book, and a tome worthy of master magic makers that I stumbled on in a book shop far from home and could not believe what I had found.
		It is a book to have on your shelf if you are a witch or wizard of just about any class or level, but also as a real educational book overall, and then perhaps you will find some spells you want to try if that is your thing.
		This is a really neat story of two little REAL girls, create a fantasy story about "Old Witch", and when "Old Witch" becomes very troublesome flying about on her broom and casting abracadabra's everywhere, Amy and Clarissa banish her to a rickety old house on a glass hill they have drawn.

		Since The Colour of Magic first appeared in 1983 there have been well over 20 books written in the Discworld series.

		Nowadays a new book is usually released every November.

		However sad to say some witches have gone public with their book over the years.

	Bookworm Review- Sci-fi- Mayfair Witches, Anne Rice - Movie Discussion Forum & Message Board
		Mayfair Witches is a book that doesn't just grab you from the opening page, it renders you completly helpless and unable to function in normal society until you reach the last page.
		Mayfair Witches is definatly Anne Rice's best work, and by far one of the best books I have ever read.
		Anne Rice has a history of writing "dark" books, as her Vampire series and several of her independant books such as "Ramses the Damned" or "Servant of the Bones" and the Mayfair Witches is no exception.

		Amazon.co.uk: Taltos: Lives of the Mayfair Witches: Books
		the book is the last in the mayfair series and i would say it was a fitting end to the whole mayfair saga.
		For me - The Mayfair witches are by far Rice's most fantastic literally reads above all her other incredibly skilled works.

	Amazon.com: Books: Lords and Ladies (Discworld Novels (Audio))
		Lords and Ladies opens with the three witches returning home to Lancre after their encounter with the Godmother in the novel Witches Abroad.
		As is often the case in Discworld books, a couple of "regulars" put in an appearance (Archchancellor Ridcully, the Librarian, Casanunda the World's Second Greatest Lover, and of course DEATH), but this is definitely a witch book.
		As I long suspected them to be evil, this book is centered on the evil of elves.

	Lasher (Lives of the Mayfair Witches) ANNE RIC
		Lasher (Lives of the Mayfair Witches) ANNE RIC
		Oh well, I still gave this three stars because this book moves along a little more than "The Witching Hour." I would say, read this book if you like "The Witching Hour" and if you are a huge Anne Rice fan.

	Amazon.co.uk: Witches Abroad (The Discworld Series): Books
		Witches Abroad is the 12th novel in Pratchett's Discworld series, and the third to star Granny Weatherwax.

	Discworld Monthly - Issue 91
		Some witches feel that this tying down is too restrictive, that a witch should be far more spontaneous in her practices, but the Farrars freely admit that this is just one brand of the craft.
		The Folklore Society (of which Murray had been president) has even seen fit to print a small book, "A Coven of Scholars", where her working methods are held up to criticism.
		The 40 book set includes the ENTIRE Discworld series together with a number of Terry's other works (Johnny Maxwell trilogy, Strata, Good Omens etc.) All books are in collectible condition and there are a number of first printings.

	The Water-Witch (Dresden edition)
		When he came to arrange for the publication of The Water Witch in December, 1829, he found that the authorities of both Naples, where he was then living, and Rome refused to permit him to print on the grounds that the book's references to the decay of Italy from its grandeur in antiquity were offensive.
		The edition of The Water Witch that was printed in Dresden, Germany, in the summer of 1830 is among the rarest of James Fenimore Cooper's works, existing in only a handful of copies and commanding an exorbitant price when it makes an infrequent appearance on the book market.
		To this fortunate disposition of land and water, with a temperate climate, a central position and an immense interior, that is now penetrated in every direction, either by artificial or by natural streams, the city of New York is indebted for its extraordinary prosperity.

	Discworld Fans -
		Granny Weatherwax is in Equal Rites, but she's the only one, the first book with all the witches is Wyrd Sisters.
		but I can't remember which book the witches first appear in, and my Discworld collection is 200 miles away at home (and I'd be in Uni).
		I think it'd be best to start her off with the witches, as she's into wicca and things, and I think She'd love Granny, Nanny and Magrat...

	A Storybook of Quotes: Why Satire Rocks
		1.) You can find all kinds of topics in one satirical book, no matter how tiny the connection is. (For example, discussion of the chaos theory in Witches Abroad.
		As is obvious from the opening quote, (or rather would be obvious if the quotes I use to open my entries ever had some kind of direct correlation to the body of the entry) I'm currently re-reading Witches Abroad.
		Well I can't say that I agree with you on the fact that satire comes anywhere near fantasy, but I do agree that they are fun books to read for enjoyment.

	magdalene.org -- Book Review: "Daughter of the Shining Isles"
		This was a great drawback for me when I first started the book, and it wasn't until I was halfway through it that I decided the story was entertaining enough to compensate for Cunningham's Celtic witches' apparent scatalogical fascination.
		She takes us to the Celtic-speaking world of 9 C.E. where the main character, Maeve Rhaud, is born and raised by eight weather-warrior witches on the island of Tir na mBam.
		If you're able to laugh at bawdy humor and don't have an easily tweaked sense of the blasphemous, this book will leave you satisfied and waiting eagerly for the next novel in the series.

	Book of Shadows
		Some Witches keep daily Books of Shadows in loose leaf notebooks, and once a year (or whenever makes sense) transfer the most important information into beautiful bound books (some even learn bookmaking and make their own books).
		Normally parts of your Book of Shadows will be very personal and won’t be shared and other parts will be things you might share with other Witches.
		The plural of Book of Shadows (when talking about more than one of them) is Books of Shadows (not Book of Shadowses).

	Amazon.com: DVD: Hocus Pocus (1993)
		Hocus pocus is a must have for so many reasons.It's about three witches from the past that come to the future to suck the lives out of kids to stay young forever.The movie is funny and just as entertaining.Buy this for your kids now and I promise you'll love it too.
		It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus.
		Hocus Pocus has been my favorite movie since I was 6 and I'm now 13.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Hocus Pocus: Titania's Book of Spells
		This book seems to concentrate on love spells, and spells for the family, which seems t suggest that this is another book aimed at a certain market, in this case it seems to be aimed at housewife's with an interest in new age or spell work.
		In conclusion this book is the same as all the rest, very little information given, no information to back up why spells or magic works, a little bit of superstition and folklore and superficial spells.
		This is certainly not a spell book for established witches, religious witches, or anyone really 'into' witchcraft at all, nor is this really a book for teens.

	Positively Somewhere: Opinions
		She should have, if she was soooo determined to write about these super beings, saved them for a whole separate book unrelated to the Mayfair witches.
		The Witching Hour, for the most part, is really intriguing, mysterious, haunting, and a wonderful book.
		A lot of the narrative follows Rowan Redfern, who is the current generation's witch who doesn't know of her heritage, and Michael Curry, a man she saves from drowning who saw visions near death about her past.

	The Witches of Eastwick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some have expressed concern that the book is misogynistic, as it reinforces the patriarchal conception of women as witches, and of women requiring a man for personal growth.
		And yet, although the weight of guilt is also dispersed between the witches, Darryl still kept enough of it to end the book being even more villainous and evil than his movie counterpart.
		The Witches of Eastwick is a 1984 novel by John Updike.
