We are delighted to host the launch of Lucianne Tonti's Good Witch.

Good Witch takes us back hundreds of years to the dark times when witch hunts were sweeping Europe and North America. From Salem to England, Scotland to the northern corners of Norway, tens of thousands of women were persecuted, prosecuted and killed. A campaign of disenchantment has sought to disconnect us from the earth – and from each other. But enchantment was never truly lost. Across the globe, women are reclaiming the skills, practices and stories that masculine societies have tried so hard to diminish or dismiss. Here, Tonti shows us how a return to feminine power is what the world desperately needs now, more than ever.

Good Witch is history and manifesto, reckoning and celebration. It is a powerful exploration of what was lost. And what can be reclaimed.
