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). Review In Pam Grossmans latest book, Waking the Witch, she reflects on her journey to becoming a witch, creating an alchemical blend of honesty, sincerity, wisdom, strength, and humor... Waking the Witch is an inspirational celebration of strength... Even if you are not a witch, you will take note of Grossmans brilliant underlying message that magic lies within us all.--Bust A must-read for anyone interested in feminism or witchcraft... Part memoir and part historical survey, this book is jam-packed full of information, yet a surprisingly quick read. Get ready to be inspired; this witchy offering might make you want to start casting spells yourself! --Ariel K., Powells Books BlogPowerful... No one-no one!- has the ability to grab my attention and my imagination quite that way that Pam does... A beautiful, brilliant, biblio-treat, I found this is not so much a casual book for the nightstand so much as a magical grimoire/memoir for my altar. But whether your interest lies in witches and witchcraft or feminism, culture, and gender, I believe youll find yourself too ensnared in its spell to leave it lay long in either place.--Haute MacabrePam Grossman already hosts the inspiring podcast The Witch Wave, and has translated her knowledge of witchhood into relatable, inspiring memoir pages. From personal experience to intriguing knowledge, Grossman breaks the stigmas of what the entertainment industry has made witches out to be, and speaks of the spiritual journey shes discovered within the title.--NewsweekA fun, informative glimpse of witchcraft... Waking the Witch reflects Grossmans ability to cast her spell with memoir, storytelling, journalism, and history. Feminists will appreciate Grossmans in-depth, woman-focused history and analysis. A must-add for public and academic collections.--BooklistA fun study... Feminist readers will be pleased by Grossmans deconstruction of witch cliches.--Publishers WeeklyWith this brilliant offering, Pam untangles the web of the witch and invites us to explore all the aspects of ourselves that linger in the shadows. Waking the Witch weaves us into the mystery of the witch, reminding us of her familiarity through stories, symbols and the subconscious, inviting us into her world with a wink and the promise of apple. Pam reminds us of the resilience of the witch, of all we have to learn from her, and of what she has to offer us. Through both her words and practice, Pam exemplifies that now more than ever, we need to wake the witch in her magick. This book is an indispensable addition to anyones altar o
