Spirituality & New Age History Antiquarian & Collectable
Encyclopedia of Witchcraft & Demonology by Hans Holzer is a comprehensive non‑fiction reference that explores witchcraft, demonology, folklore and the paranormal. First published in 1974, this vintage hardcover is illustrated and comes with its original dust jacket, making it a striking addition for collectors of occult and spiritual studies.
The 252‑page volume offers detailed entries on rituals, spells, ghosts and mythic beings, appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in magic, mysticism and history. Its clear organization and thorough research reflect Holzer’s reputation as a leading paranormal investigator.
The book is in good condition overall, with a tight binding and no dog‑ears, and it has been kept in a smoke‑free home. Minor wear includes a small bump on the bottom edge of the cover, slight corner rubbing on the front paper, and tiny surface chips on the top edge of the first few pages.
As a first edition with original dust jacket and illustrations, this encyclopedia is a valuable find for anyone building a collection of antiquarian occult literature or seeking a reliable guide to witchcraft and demonology.
