Description

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.

When you think of a witch, what do you picture? Pointy black hat, maybe a broomstick. But witches in various guises have been with us for millennia. In Waking the Witch, Pam Grossman explores the cultural and historical impact of the world’s most magical icon. From the idea of the femme fatale in league with the devil in early modern Europe and Salem, to the bewitching pop culture archetypes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Harry Potter; from the spooky ladies in fairy tales and horror films to the rise of feminist covens and contemporary witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women.

In this fascinating read that is part cultural analysis, part memoir, Pam opens up about her own journey on the path to witchcraft, and how her personal embrace of the witch helped her find strength, self-empowerment, and a deeper purpose.

A comprehensive meditation on one of the most mysterious and captivating figures of all time, Waking the Witch celebrates witches past, present, and future, and reveals the critical role they have played—and will continue to play—in shaping the world as we know it.

💟„Waking the Witch“ habe ich schon vor einiger Zeit gelesen. Das Buch hat mich tief berührt und passte perfekt in die Phase, in der ich mich stark mit mir selber und meiner Rolle als Frau auseinander gesetzt habe. – Pam Grossman schreibt mit einer solchen Klarheit und Wärme über die Kraft, die in Weiblichkeit und Spiritualität steckt. Beim Lesen hatte ich das Gefühl, alte Geschichten von Hexen, Macht und Freiheit neu zu entdecken – und dabei ein Stück meiner eigenen Stärke wiederzufinden. Dieses Buch ist kein Zaubertrank, aber es wirkt trotzdem magisch. 💖✨🌈
