THE WITCH-CULT IN WESTERN EUROPE: A STUDY IN MALEFICOLOGY by Margaret A. Murray--Anthropologist

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,

THE CATCLAW AND THE PENTAGRAM (c) by Judd H. Burton--(Due in

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.
