Witch Covens and the Grand Masters - The Witches' Journey to the Sabbat, and the Sabbat Orgy (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

By Montague Summers

Witch Covens and the Grand Masters - The Witches' Journey to the Sabbat, and the Sabbat Orgy – is a classic occult text, notable for its archaic writing style, intimate style of narration, and overtone of belief in the subject.
Excerpt from the book:
The dark and secret Society of Witches spreads—a huge network of evil—over the whole world. Throughout Europe and America in particular the organization of Satanists is very thorough and very complete. In less than the span of a limited lifetime, not more than sixty years indeed after the first settlers had landed at Massachusetts Bay, Cotton Mather notes as a detail significantly dangerous in itself and worthy of particular attention the systematic and methodised federation of the Salem witches.
