The Science of Witchcraft attempts to explain details of magical tales in terms of modern science. Overall it's a pretty good book and can be read through or used as reference if you wanted to read based on what stories you already know.

However, there are some chapters that are only vaguely connected to the story they're titled for. The chapters were still interesting explanations of some weird science, but they didn't quite connect back to the witchery they were supposedly trying to explain and instead felt like the book had jumped down a wikipedia rabbit hole and forgot to finish reading the original article.

This was such a great read. I can’t rave enough about this book. The layout, concepts, backstories, and the amount of research put into this book is amazing. This book gave insite to things I never thought about of new about the history of witches, and belief over the times.
Definitely add to my shelf for education and reference purposes! All the stars
