The Story of Witches
“How did the witch go from someone we fear, our greatest enemy, to someone we identify with and want to be?”
Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, in this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham explores the many guises of the witch across folklore, history and superstition.
‘Of UK writing about witchcraft, Willow Winsham’s name should be firmly at the top.’
Mark Norman, Creator of The Folklore Podcast.
