THE WITCH-CULT IN WESTERN EUROPE: A STUDY IN MALEFICOLOGY by Margaret A. Murray--Anthropologist Maragaret Murray stirred up great contraversy with the publication of this fascinating work in 1921.  She proposed that the witchcraft records of the Middle Ages and Witch Craze revealed a religion both mysterious and ancient.  Indeed, Murray posited that the cult pre-dated Christianity and was pan-European.  Her theories remain divisive and contraversial in both academic and popular venues, but you will enjoy this analysis of the components of Murray's witchcraft and the impact that its reputation and practice had on the Western world.

Forthcoming Titles:

MAN, MYTH, AND MAGIC (c)by Judd H. Burton--(due later this year)-Man, Myth, and Magic is a tour of the paranormal mysteries of humanity.  In here, you will find man's quest through religion, his conceptualization of that pursuit in myth, and the lasting embers of archaic belief in folklore.  Gods, goddesses, vampires, demons, priests, shamans, saints, and sinners...there is something for everyone's curiosity within this text.

THE CATCLAW AND THE PENTAGRAM (c) by Judd H. Burton--(Due in 2008)  Long ago, a world away from the one in which we live, our ancestors worshipped many gods.  Those gods were eventually forced from their shrines and grottos to the home, hearth, and the shadows.  And now, they have resurfaced from the mantles of yesteryear, to their new niches in modern society...including 21st century Texas.  This ethnography of an eclectic group of Texas Neopagans examines the adaptation and function mythology in a modern pagan community.
