This volume from the La Bibliothèque de l’Esotérisme collection published by Taschen editions offers a broad journey through the global history of witchcraft. The book traces the evolution of this tradition from its ancient roots to its contemporary expressions. It puts into perspective the cultural, religious, and social transformations that have shaped its image and practices over the centuries.
A historical and cultural journey
Through well-documented essays and interviews with current practitioners, the book highlights the diversity of forms taken by witchcraft across different eras and regions. From ancient goddess cults to modern movements, it shows how this tradition has adapted to successive contexts while maintaining certain symbolic and ritual constants.
A richly illustrated volume
Bringing together more than 400 works, illustrations, and documents, Witchcraft offers a dense and structured visual panorama. True to the editorial quality of Taschen editions, this book combines historical rigor with rich iconography. It is aimed at readers eager to understand the place of witchcraft in cultural history and in the current occult scene.
Jessica Hundley is an American author, editor, and creative director specializing in visual history, countercultures, and spiritual traditions. Co-founder of the magazine Luncheon, she regularly collaborates with Taschen editions, for which she has directed and co-written several works dedicated to esotericism, ritual practices, sacred plants, and alternative cultural movements. Her work is distinguished by a solid documentary approach, combining texts, archives, and iconography, with particular attention to the historical and cultural roots of the subjects addressed.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
— You speak about it best.
