in the colonial withcraft bits, I'm not sure if you are talking about the Salem trials or not, but mostly it was all based around hysterical fears. There weren't really witches in the woods eating babies. In salem there was a woman from barbados?? (i think) who taught the girls a little voodoo, but that was the closest thing to "magic" i think. People just believed that men and women sold their souls to their devil for supernatural powers (like flying or being able to curse your neighbors cow) and that they would go out into the woods to summon the devil and have big dance/orgies with him. stuff like that.
As for the celtic mythology, there's lots O_o I have several books on the subject here at home which i could lend you if you came to visit *hint hint* but basically I can send you some info if you give me a generic what you want.
And with the Egyptian stuff, I have read some on their religion cause I took a class on Classical History that started with Egypt. Basically if you pick up any generic history of Egypt it will give you a base overview of thier spiritual beliefs.
hope this helps a bit *^^* Now write a novel so I have something clever to read!
