{"product_id":"witches-9780810991217","title":"Witches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis witchs brew of a book is back in all its tantalizing glory to enchant a new generation of readers. Best-selling author Erica Jong here turns her attention to the fantastical and factual world of witchcraft. In beguiling poetry and prose  she looks at the figure of the witch both as historical reality and as archetype-as evil crone and full-breasted seductress  as a lingering vestige of a primeval religion and a projection of fear of the unknown. Joseph A. Smiths powerful  haunting illustrations enliven each page  as Jong investigates the witch as a survivor of the age of sorcery  as a scapegoat for male-dominated church-state politics  as a remarkable natural healer  and as a hexer without peer. Real recipes for love potions and flying lotions  along with formulas for spells and incantations  make this book a rich journey of mystery and delight. Available in paperback for the first time  Witches has been a favorite since it was published more than 20 years ago-a testament to the enduring fascination with the myths and truths about these intriguing figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648016048181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810991217","price":254.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810991217.jpg?v=1781706571","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/witches-9780810991217","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
