Good Witch

A paradigm-shifting book that asks what the world might be like if divine feminine power had never been devalued. And shows us how it is being reclaimed.

Gardener. Gossip. Spinster. Healer. Nymph . . . Witch.

For centuries, the work of women was viewed with suspicion. Their knowledge - of bodies, nature, and community - posed a threat to a masculine order. To men who saw them as something to be contained and controlled.

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.

Today, we can still feel the legacy of the witch hunts: In the way the natural world has been degraded. In the way humans have become disengaged from the things that make us truly happy. 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.
