Pointy black hat, maybe a broomstick. But witches in various guises have been with us for millennia. In \u003ci\u003eWaking the Witch\u003c\/i\u003e, Pam Grossman explores the impact of the world's most magical icon. From the idea of the \u003ci\u003efemme fatale\u003c\/i\u003e in league with the devil to the bewitching pop culture archetypes in \u003ci\u003eSabrina the Teenage Witch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e; from the spooky ladies in fairy tales to the rise of contemporary witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart cultural analysis, part memoir, \u003ci\u003eWaking the Witch \u003c\/i\u003etraces the author's own journey on the path to witchcraft, and how this has helped her find self-empowerment and purpose. It celebrates witches past, present, and future, and reveals the critical role they have played--and will continue to play--in the world as we know it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Deftly illuminating the past while beckoning us towards the future, \u003ci\u003eWaking the Witch\u003c\/i\u003e has all the makings of a feminist classic. Wise, relatable, and real, Pam Grossman is the witch we need for our times\" (Ami McKay, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Witches of New York\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pam Grossman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982145859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePam Grossman is the creator and host of \u003ci\u003eThe Witch Wave\u003c\/i\u003e podcast and the author of \u003ci\u003eWhat is a Witch\u003c\/i\u003e.
