The good, the bad, and the wicked -- Teen witch: spell casts for outcasts -- Sympathy for the she-devil -- Body monsters -- Gifted sisters and shady ladies -- The dark arts: magic makers and craft women -- Power in numbers: covens and collectives -- Who is a witch?
A whip-smart and illuminating exploration of the world's fascination with witches from podcast host and practicing witch Pam Grossman (The Witch Wave), who delves deeply into why witches have intrigued us for centuries and why they're more relevant now than ever.-- Amazon.
Grossman explores the cultural and historical impact of the world's most magical icon: the witch. From the idea of the femme fatale in league with the devil in early modern Europe and Salem, to bewitching pop culture archetypes, witches reflect the power and potential of women. As Grossman opens up about her own journey on the path to witchcraft, she explains how her personal embrace of the witch helped her find strength, self-empowerment, and a deeper purpose. -- adapted from back cover

Great Intro submitted by KimTheGray on July 17, 2021, 12:15pm If you're looking to discover a little more about your inner self, this is a great way to start! It is focused on femininity through the lens of witchcraft, obviously, so remember that before you dive in. But it's inspirational, eye-opening, and a good introduction to a more spiritual you.
