Witch Myths

Discover the original stories of nine magical women as we celebrate the witch in her truest form: a feminist icon. This powerful collection of mythological writings showcases the strength and prowess of witches.

The witch has known many names-she-devil, crone, sorceress-and despite being often portrayed as villainous or evil, many original tales celebrated witches. From the Ancient Greek myths of Hecate and Circe to the Nordic sorceress Frejya and the Egyptian Goddess of Magic, Isis, examples of women revered for their powers can be found woven throughout literary history.
