Although you won’t learn any secrets from Jason Karl’s latest offering - that’s a word publishers love to shove in titles - what you will gain is an informed, balanced and thoroughly readable overview of witchcraft in the world today.

Unlike many other writers, Karl - apparently, a devotee of ‘the Craft’ himself - makes a clear distinction between witchcraft per se and the modern religion of Wicca. His summary of witchcraft through the ages is well handled and will bear revisiting.

The Secret World serves as an excellent introduction to the practice and beliefs of modern witchcraft. It is packed with information on spells, rituals, the Wiccan calendar, gods and goddesses and the influences of ancient religions from all over the world.

Handsomely presented, this good value hardback will make a great gift for anyone showing an early interest in the fastest growing religion in the Western world.
