Witch Cults of England (1920)

Elias spent a year in the United Kingdom researching witch trials and interviewing modern practitioners of what he terms as witchcraft, generally solitary practitioners and fragments from the Golden Dawn or like groups. The book itself outlines the history, such as it is, of witchcraft in Great Britain up until the modern day. Elias’ portrayal of witches is sympathetic and he views witch hysteria as the worst sort of mob mentality.
