Review
«Laura Shamas has stirred the witches’ cauldron once again! The magic of the weird sisters comes to life wondrously in this most remarkable brew of history, folktale, mythology, psychology, contemporary cultural criticism, and the phenomenology of the meaning of ‘threeness.’ The reader will be spellbound by the prehistory and archetypal sources of Shakespeare’s famous witches. The drama of female three-somes is illuminating in the extreme!» (David L. Miller, Watson-Ledden Professor of Religion, Emeritus, Syracuse University)
