Friend of mine is researching the topic and asked for a few good books on it. Anyone who knows anything that I can pass on to her - let me know.

Thanks!

Only one could think of was Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon".

Felicitas Goodman, an anthropologist, has written a very interesting book on meditation postures found in terra cotta figures and cave paintings around the world. It's called Where the Spirits Ride the Wind and her findings are quite fascinating. Although this is not witchcraft per se - more of a book on shamanic postures, it has loads of information since the figures she talks about are from all over the world. There are follow up books on this subject - Ecstatic Body Postures that are a little bit more up to date. I think these books might be a good resource for a fantasy novel because they describe in detail what some of the inner workings of these meditations are. It's really interesting stuff.
