Overview

Does it still make sense, nowadays, to talk about Witches? Of course: in fact, more than ever. The Witches in this collection are not the ugly, evil, hook-nosed crones of fairy tales. On the contrary, they are more like us than you might think: they're rebellious, solitary, shy, odd, curious, fragile, intelligent, vengeful, ironic, empathetic. Above all, they are women who possess a special gift that makes them unique, and that's exactly why they could be seen frightening. Seven tales, each inspired by a topic that shapes the historical and mythological world of Witches: healing and poisonous plants, Great Hunt and Inquisition, celebrations, sabbath, the many forms of witchcraft, sisterhood and matrilineal society, and familiars. Each story is accompanied by a brief introduction offering background on the theme it explores.
