Witches and Wizard popularity grows
BY ELIZABETH HAZEL AT FACING NORTH OCTOBER 23RD / 0 COMMENTS
Cavendish takes on the legends of magic and the occult in this fun little book. The stories she shares cull facts, or the most factual possible information about numerous individuals in the magical history. Rather than actually de-mystifying these characters, the author compares and contrasts the rumors and legends with what actually happened, and the person behind the stories. There are illustrations and photographs that supplement the written material. The book begins with Merlin, perhaps the greatest legendary wizard in history.

Publishers Weekly US reviews Witches and Wizards
BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY US. APRIL 24TH / 0 COMMENTS
Cavendish (Spellbound) mixes together history, biography, and the religion of magick, under which umbrella the author includes wizardry, witchcraft, and the occult. Early on, Cavendish gives an excellent historical overview of famous figures who practiced magick, such as Merlin. The reader also learns how those who practiced witchcraft, and those accused of such practices, were treated unjustly. Through historical accounts, readers learn how accused witches were horrendously tortured by burning, hanging, and decapitation. In addition to stories of legendary witches and wizards, Cavendish also provides accounts of the lives of famous occultists, such as the flamboyant Aleister Crowley.

WITH her dramatically arched eyebrows and vivid paintings on satanic themes, Rosaleen Norton shocked ’50s and ’60s Australia.
