The History of Witchcraft & Women with Dr Tabitha Stanmore
Thu 22nd Jan
Journey into the fascinating history of witchcraft and its connections to femininity and feminism. Followed by Q&A. The word ‘witch’ – what does it conjure for you? Do you immediately have an image of a hat, broomstick and cat, or an old, warty woman who entraps children in her gingerbread house? Or do you see a young, empowered healer who is targeted simply for being different? Whatever you’re thinking, the unifying feature is probably that the witch is female. But why? How did this stereotype come about?
