Witchcraft. The Library of Esoterica
The third volume of the Library of Esotericism explores the history of witchcraft – from ancient goddesses to modern magic.
Description
The third volume of the Library of Esotericism takes you on a fascinating journey through the history of witchcraft - from its origins in ancient goddess cults to the modern, diverse witch community. With over 400 works of art, essays and interviews, Witchcraft traces the development of a powerful archetype that has been immortalized in myths, legends and art for centuries.
In this richly illustrated work, Jessica Hundley and witch expert Pam Grossman explore the symbolism and magic that made the witch a muse and icon for countless artists, from Goya and Dürer to surrealist artists such as Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington. The witch appears here as a seductress, healer, and rebellious heroine who stands up against persecution and conformity.
With essays and interviews from leading experts such as Kristen J. Sollée and Juliet Diaz, this book offers a deep insight into the cultural traditions of magic as an expression of spiritual exploration and creative catharsis. A unique work for anyone who wants to be inspired by the power and myth of the witch.
