[Review] The Extraordinary History of Witches by Hazel Atkinson

This is a comprehensive and very well-researched look at the history of witches and witchcraft. I was surprised by the sheer volume of historical facts the book contained and really appreciated its broad international focus.

I also loved the aesthetics. From the beautifully illustrated color pages and font choices to the overall layout, the entire volume is thoughtfully designed to have a very magical feel.

An intriguing, fact-filled read for anyone interested in the origins of witches and witchcraft from around the world.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released August 5, 2025.

5 stars
