Reviews

[Heidi Turner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Germans burned the most witches at the stake.

[Jean-Pierre Vidrine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a thoroughly engaging volume on the subject of paranormal phenomena. Some entries are quite exhaustive, while I feel that others could have been more so.
It really wins out by including figures and subjects that others might relegate to more mundane categories like Freud and masks.
It's a handy informative reference for any occultist.

Not an easy read, but a very educational one. Lots of information. It covered everything from religion to ESP to the people involved. Very comprensive. A very good reference. Good to read a bit at a time.
