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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46356508016812,"sku":"9781982145859","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/20068123482893.jpg?v=1781639434","url":"https:\/\/giftshop.carlemuseum.org\/products\/9781982145859","provider":"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
