Witches | Erica Jong
13 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
In prose and poetry, the witch is examined as historical reality and as archetype--Halloween hag, full-breasted seductress, natural healer, never without peer, scapegoat, and lingering vestige of a primeval religion--in a study that also features recipes for love potions, formulas for spells, incantations, and stunning full-color artwork.

I‘ve been a bit obsessed with everything witchy this readathon. All of these books are related to witches in very different ways. 🌙✨

+136 pts for the books listed (- Botanical Folk Tales) #teamslaughter #scarathlon

Also, I started quite a few readathons this week. October is getting busy! 🎃

Clwojick So pretty! 4y
Linsy @AllisonM89 Yes! I just tallied it on a different post. I loved it! The way they're retold is so readable and there's a little bit of background on the plant/local traditions before each story. I particularly liked how each section was a season. 4y

This is one of the cooler books that I've received as a gift. An out of print edition of this fascinating and beautifully illustrated cultural history of witches. Perfect October read.

#BasicWitchSwap is mostly ready to go! I‘m still waiting on one little thing, but if it doesn‘t arrive by Wednesday, I‘ll send the package without it and send it along later. @Catsandbooks I‘m so excited for you to get it!

mklong @Catsandbooks It‘s on the way! Guaranteed delivery by Monday. There is one more little piece coming later to add to your enamel pin collection, but it came from an Etsy seller in Singapore and didn‘t make it in time. I‘ll send it as soon as it comes in! 5y
Catsandbooks @mklong Thank you! 🥰 I'll be on the look out!! Can't wait for opening day! 🎃 5y

Excited to have signed up for the witchy swap! With wee boy about, I can‘t be as generous as some super swappers, but it is such a fun way to discover new books during a frighteningly fun season. Thanks, @monalyisha ! #witchpleaseswap #horror #fun #Halloween

I suspect that this book was intended to have a dust jacket, but this odd silver symbol on a plain blue field qualifies it as a #minimalistcover. #jubilantjuly
