WITCHCRAFT
by
Jack Fritscher
Popular Witchcraft: Straight from the Witch's Mouth
featuring Interview with High Priest, Anton LaVey
21st-Century edition 2005
The first edition of this book, published in 1972, was a pioneering exploration of homosexuality, gender, and the Holocaust of the Inquisition that demonized women’s sexuality. This new edition completely rewritten for the 21st century restores what censorship omitted in 1972, and reveals what could not be told before. Witches lead the liberation movements of sex, race, and gender transforming American culture. Chasing Satan, exorcist Fritscher’s own voice channels witches’ voices through direct interview, secret writings, pop-music, Hollywood plots, Broadway lyrics, and sexual politics. A primer of gender histories within women’s studies and gay studies.
New second edition for the 21st Century, April 2005
