THE BOOK OF SHADOWS
Does the coveted book of the witches exist? Passed down through the ages - spells and rituals whispered under the cloak of darkness - hidden. Then the book burnings associated with the witch-trials of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries destroyed all that is known of these manuscipts. Except perhaps those still secreted away - known only to those who understand their legacy. A few perhaps withstood the ravages of time - 'Aradia - or the Gospel of the Witches' by Charles Leland, 'The Charm Book of the Roma', and 'Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling' Also by Leland - the rest remain a mystery - that we hope will one day be brought from the shadows - out of the darkness into the light.
