From the podcast host of The Witch Wave and practicing witch Pam
Grossman-who Vulture has dubbed the "Terry Gross of witches"-comes
an exploration of the world's fascination with witches, why they
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 impact of the world's most magical icon. From the idea
of the femme fatale in league with the devil to the bewitching pop
culture archetypes in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Harry Potter;
from the spooky ladies in fairy tales to the rise of contemporary
witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women. Part
cultural analysis, part memoir, Waking the Witch traces 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.
"Deftly illuminating the past while beckoning us towards the
future, Waking the Witch 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 The Witches of New York).
