Witches in various guises have been with us for centuries, and interest in them has grown as women and femmes have sought more power and autonomy in their own lives. In celebration of her spellbinding book, Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power (Gallery Books), Pam Grossman will delve into why witches matter, how they reflect our fear and love of feminine power, and what they can teach us during this age of profound transformation.
Pam will be joined by Peabody Award-winning podcast producer and journalist, Chiquita Paschal, for this evening of feminist magic and bewitching conversation.
