'Witches occupy a clear place in contemporary imagination. We can
see them, shadowy, in the corners of the past: mad, glamorous,
difficult, strange. They haunt the footnotes of history - from
medieval witches burning at the stake to the lurid glamour of the
1970s witchcraft revival. But they are moving out of history, too.
Witches are back. They're feminist, independent, invested in
self-care and care for the world. They are here, because they must
be needed.' What it means to be a witch has changed radically
throughout history; where 'witch' was once a dangerous - and often
deadly - accusation, it is now a proud self-definition. Today, as
the world becomes ever more complicated and as we face ecological,
political and economic crisis - witchcraft is experiencing a
resurgence. Witches are back. In A Spell in the Wild, Alice Tarbuck
explores what it means to be a witch today. Rooted in the real
world, but filled with spells, rituals and recipes, this book is an
accessible, seasonal guide to witchcraft in the twenty-first
century. Following the course of a witch's calendar year while also
exploring the history and politics of witchcraft, A Spell in the
Wild is the perfect primer for the contemporary witch.
