Reviews

""Grappling with the word witch is always an invitation into complexity and controversy. But Dr Woodard explores it with wisdom and sensitivity, showing to us, the fortunate reader, the witch not just as a symbol of persecution but as a catalyst for social change, healing, and community building in the present day. By navigating the crossroads of gender, sexuality, and power, this book invites readers to reconsider long-held narratives and confront the enduring legacies of misogyny, oppression, and fear. Thoughtfully written and deeply impactful, this book is an essential and enjoyable read!"" - Sarah Robinson, Author of Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore & Fairy Tale, The Witch and the Wildwood and Witch Country: Seeking the Witch in the British Landscape.
