#LittensDressedInBlood #Day17 #BlackMagicWoman Anita Blake was one of the first adult magical realism series I read. Not only is Anita a Vampire Hunter, at night she uses what a lot of people consider black magic to raise zombies, an ability she was born with. A good series until it turned into soft porn!
pickI can't believe I waited so long to read these books. I loved this book. This prequel tells of how Maria Owens came to Salem and started the curse that's messed with her family for generations 🧡

From my TBR. Not sure if she is a #blackmagicwoman . #octoberxfiles
Vasilisa Petrovich is accused of being a #blackmagicwoman and then just kind of embraces the idea and becomes a kickass heroine who makes her own rules. She's got a pretty sweet magic horse sidekick too. 🐎

I'm sure I'm inadvertently copying someone here, but I couldn't think of a more delightfully horrible #BlackMagicWoman than Bellatrix LeStrange

#BlackMagicWoman focuses on the 'tragic mulatto' stereotype that is conventionally portrayed as a character tormented by issues of racial and cultural ambiguity. It explores the journey of the 'mulatto' from 'tragic' to 'empowered' through the character's adherence to Yoruba-Atlantic religions. From this religious transformation, the 'tragic mulatto' becomes the Black Magic Woman, a signifier of a New World cultural identity.

Old Black Witch is a 17th century woman who has her eyes and mouth sewn closed and haunts a Dutch town by going in and out of houses at random.
I‘ve got this on my TBR to read this month. We‘ll see if I get to it, otherwise it will go back on my shelves until next October. 🤦🏼♀️

As a native of the Caribbean, Jean Rhys was shocked by Brontë's portrayal in Jane Eyre of Bertha Mason, Rochester‘s Creole wife, who was locked up in the attic. In this book Rhys tells the story of Brontë's #blackmagicwoman and gives Bertha her own voice. #OctoberXFiles

Tituba, arguably a #BlackMagicWoman , is one of those accused of beginning the Salem Witch Trials. This book looks at other possible factors for the mass hysteria. No one will ever figure out the true reasoning why Salem went to such an extreme to exorcise witches from its landscape, but Boyer and Nissenbaum present some leading theories. #OctoberXFiles
