Summary

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
