EYE FROM THE RIGHT: "THE WITCH"

One line review: A great, inventive, and haunting new horror film, evoking witchcraft in early US settler Pilgrim times.
The Witch is an interesting low-budget feature, shot for around a million bucks, by Robert Eggers and based on his screenplay. It takes the premise of witchcraft seriously – as do I, having fooled around with the Occult enough in my 20s to know there is something to it. The production company has even gone in for fun and corny marketing techniques like re-releasing the film to run on 666 screens. Good stuff.

“I WILL NOT BE OTHER THAN I AM": A REVIEW OF THE WITCH-CULT IN WESTERN EUROPE

The Witch-Cult in Western Europe

Seeing as Halloween (Sam Hain, Winter Nights, call it what you will) is upon us, I feel that it is the perfect time to review a book that has been a standard[1] of the Craft since its original publication in 1921. There are — honestly — dozens of reprints of The Witch Cult in Western Europe out there. The book has long since passed into public domain, every real publisher, every indie publisher and every would-be publisher can legally and freely reprint and distribute it, and in these days of Amazon.com and CreateSpace, everyone seems to be doing just that.

So, should you, the reader, be interested in any one particular modern publisher’s particular reprint of this classic tome of Witchcraft? Yes, you should.
