Witchcraft U.S.A. by Florence Hershman, a vintage 1970s Lancer Books occult paperback with wonderfully lurid cover art: a green-haired witch and a glowing sigil against a black ground.  This is classic Satanic-panic and witchcraft-revival ephemera, exploring who America's witches are, how they become witches, underground covens, the Witches' Liberation Movement, voodoo in New Orleans, mail-order magic supplies, and more. A great period piece from the height of the 1970s occult boom, prized by collectors of vintage paperbacks and witchy oddities.  Condition is fair vintage with heavy honest wear: the top corner is chipped and torn away, the cover has extensive crazing and surface cracking, spine and edges are worn, and a former owner wrote a name inside; the pages are toned but complete and readable.  Sold as a well-loved reading or display copy.  Offers Accepted.
