This book starts out sharing research and discussion about the history of real witches - not fairy tale witches or the Christian church's "witches" - though comparisons are made of the two. It then goes into discussing "Old Ways" witches. It discusses herbs, tools and their use (my favorite being a whole new way of looking at your mortar and pestle as real spell work tools), plant sigils and more things than this small space could cover. I can honestly say that I highly recommend this book.
So how can you enter to get your own copy? Here's what you need to do:
