  Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
   
  The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
   
  Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
   
  Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
   
  So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.

  At the age of fifty Bradley was a career officer who had never seen a day of action on the battlefield. Yet, by the end of the war, he had led American soldiers through some of the bloodiest fighting of World War Two—the final defeat of the Germans' Afrika Korps, the invasion of Sicily, and the historic Normandy invasion, before leading the advance across the Rhine. 
   
   
   
  Despite being such an instrumental leader of World War Two he was a modest man, professing only to do the best he could for his calling and his country. 
   
   
   
  How did this quiet and unassuming teacher from West Point rise to become the commander of the Twelfth United States Army Group, which ultimately comprised forty-three divisions and over one million troops, the largest American force ever united under one man's command? And how did he come to be known as 'the G.I.'s General'? 
   
   
   
  Charles Whiting's enthralling overview of Bradley and his career uncovers what he was like as a person, providing insight into his actions and leadership during the course of World War Two, before discussing his post-war career as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through the course of the Korean War.

Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history.

  Ancient World’s Most Mysterious...

  Charles River Editors

  To the ancient Egyptians, the gods and goddesses were all around them and could be seen daily in nature. Nearly every animal found in ancient Egypt, both domestic and wild, were associated with a god or goddess, which can be seen in Egyptian art where deities are often depicted with human bodies and animal heads. Or sometimes the deities are portrayed as complete animals. Since deities were associated with certain animals, all animals of a specific species were given divine and protected status. The reverence that ancient Egyptians had for certain animals evolved during the long duration of Pharaonic history until by the Late Period animals of specific species were mummified by the thousands as offerings for their associated deities.  
  Ancient Greece and its mythology has fascinated people for thousands of years, and few elements have intrigued people quite like the Eleusinian Mysteries, which the Greeks believed transformed the initiates and gave them knowledge that eased both the living of life on earth and allayed fears of death, allowing an acceptance of their ultimate fate. The influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries was also far reaching; for example, the Telesterion is reminiscent of the labyrinthine, symbolic structures that can be found all over pre-historic Europe, ranging from those in Ireland to Malta and Crete to the Shetlands. The larger precinct of Eleusis, combining as it did caves, terraces and buildings carved into the rock again, all echo that ancient past.  
  	The cult of Mithras was not a creation of the Romans, although they would eventually add their own rituals and mysteries to the ancient religion. In fact, the Mithraic religion was an Indo-Persian creation, a theology which managed to travel from India and back into the Hellenic and Roman world by way of Alexander the Great’s conquest of the Persian Empire. Eventually, the cult of Mithras would spread across the ancient world.
