Great Idea -- Disappointing Execution,
By "eric777" (Laurel, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Devils, Demons, and Witchcraft: 244 Illustrations for Artists (Paperback)
This review has nothing to do with how the book treats Wicca or witchcraft. The only question I want to answer here is how good a collection of illustrations on this historical/mythological subject it is, and the answer is: not very good at all. The quality of the illustrations is terrible for the most part. While there are some decent reproductions, most look like someone put a sheet of onion-skin paper up to a wall in some medieval church and hastily traced the picture underneath, all the while looking over his shoulder to make sure the caretaker wasn't approaching. And if you are looking for some good explanatory text, don't hold your breath. Aside from captions below each illustration identifying artist and source, there are no more than two or three introductory sentences PER CHAPTER. Better quality reproductions and some good research and interpretive text could have made this a scholarly tome. As it stands, it seems more like an attempt to make money off a collection of old tracings that were lying around in someone's grandmother's attic.

Not What I was looking for but....,

This review is from: Devils, Demons, and Witchcraft: 244 Illustrations for Artists (Paperback)
Its great to see history about witchcraft and deamons and so on. Some of the pictures are somewhat disturbing and yet understandable where and how the ignorance of the 16th century began. Please remember, that this book barely has words; its just pictures and nothing else, so, buy it if your a history buff in witchcraft and the occult.

Not exactly what I expected but useful,
By "wickedreader" (Garden Grove, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Devils, Demons, and Witchcraft: 244 Illustrations for Artists (Paperback)
I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting but when I got the book and viewed the pictures I only found a little more than a dozen that were useful or interesting for my purpose. However, if you are an art student or just interested in the occult or demonology then this book will provide some unique and intriguing pictures.
