Witch
Witch: The Wild Ride from Wicked to Wicca | Candace Savage
9 posts | 7 read | 10 to read
Witches have always been figures electric with possibility, feared as menacing hags but also standing as towering images of female rebellion. Trace their wild ride across the centuries, flying on brooms, turning into animals, making spirit journeys, visiting the dead, casting spells, and causing or healing illnesses. Every age has fashioned this legendary shapeshifter to fulfill its dreams and nightmares, and she has transformed from Renaissance devil worshipper to fairy-tale character to New Age priestess. A brilliant study going far beyond the witch-hunts of the 1600s.

Figured I should probably *finally* read this and send it on home.

So far I learned that you are a witch if you:
Are ugly and old
Are young and pretty
Have a pet
Speak
Have a uterus (which moves....that's awesome)
Have "witch teats"
Have too much sex
Have too little sex

Sorry ladies....I think I'm a witch

Great pick. Super informative and really got me going.

FantasyChick Promise I'm going to send this home to you this week Andrea! 5y
wanderinglynn Do I want to know what “witch teats” are? 😂 Of course, I‘m a witch because I have red hair. 😉 5y

StayCurious @BookishTrish wow that took awhile to get to you! Sorry it took so long. I‘m still reading Erotic Stories (lol that sounds funny) 5y
BookishTrish @StayCurious It actually worked out pretty perfectly - I was reading a 14-day copy of The Institute and so wouldn‘t have started it until today either way 5y
FantasyChick @BookishTrish It's huge but you wouldn't believe how quickly it reads! I think we are all a little bit behind right now. I'm still working on City of Girls. Happens 🤷‍♀️ 5y
FantasyChick @Andrea4 Like blew up, blew up?? 😱 5y
Andrea4 @FantasyChick would it sound terrible if I said blowing up blowing up would have been better? Lmao 5y

Finished and going to send off soon! I'll be including a little something in the package too 😘
I won't say much here but I enjoyed this (if even I found it a little chronologically jumpy at times) & now I want to create a wall of witch depictions for fun lol

StayCurious I got the book and I‘m excited to dig in! Also thank you for the lovely tea🤗 5y
Andrea4 @StayCurious yes! Perfect timing!!! And you're welcome :) last bookclub I did, I chose a tea for each book, this was slightly more confined Haha. Hope you like it! 5y

StayCurious Wow what an eclectic collection! I haven‘t read any of these so I‘m ok with anything 5y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I've read Homegoing, but any other looks good to me . 😊 5y
Andrea4 @StayCurious haha 🙈 yea, normally I tell people my tastes are a little all over the place! 5y
Andrea4 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I figured a few would have read this- I'm slow on this bandwagon! Haha 5y
FantasyChick Ooooh options! So my votes are for The Humans because it sounds weird as hell, Lighthousekeeping just because why not or Witches because... I mean, witches! 😂 I'm good with whatever though, lol 5y
Andrea4 @FantasyChick yea The Humand keeps catching my eye. And witches are always fun, right? 5y
FantasyChick Don't get me started on my witch phase 😉 5y
Andrea4 @FantasyChick um yea I had a ...phase too. Hehehe, ***hides cauldron and wand*** 5y
BookishTrish I love the look of the witches one and think reading Garcia Marquez with you would be way more rewarding than going it alone. I‘ve read Homegoing and The Humans, but would happily reread either. 5y
Andrea4 @FantasyChick ☺️☺️☺️ 5y
StayCurious @Andrea4 cool😄 5y

Took a break from Rita's bio only to see her pop up in a book on witches!

RealBooks4ever What is her connection to witches? 🤔 8y
bloodylovely Literally nothing as far as I can tell. There's no explanation. It's sort of near a section about women's seductiveness being witchery so I guess it's because she's sexy? Pretty random tho. 8y
