The witch is one of the most universally charged archetypes across cultures and history — as an imagined spiritual threat, as a symbol of feminine disobedience, as an institution that exists outside structures of state power, as a historical nexus of fear and violence, as a demographic of real people with real practices and beliefs who have influenced the development of our shared modern world. The witch is revisited constantly in stories, folklore, movies, political discourse — sometimes she's frightening, sometimes she's compassionate; always she's powerful.
Whether you're interested in witches as a horror trope, a doorway to sex positivity, a topic of historical exploration, or rich characters and ideas in fiction or poetry, at least one of these witch books will bring something into your life!
