Download or read book The New Witches written by Aaron K.H. Ho and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Charmed ended in 2006, witches were relegated to sidekicks of televisual vampires or children's programs. But during the mid-2010s they began to resurface as leading characters in shows like the immensely popular The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, Salem, American Horror Story: Coven, and the British program, A Discovery of Witches. No longer sweet, feminine, domestic, and white, these witches are powerful, diverse, and transgressive, representing an intersectional third-wave feminist vision of the witch. Featuring original essays from noted scholars, this is the first critical collection to examine witches on television from the late 2010s. Situated in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, essays examine the reemergence and shifting identities of TV witches through the perspectives of intersectional gender studies, hauntology, politics, morality, monstrosity, violence, queerness, disabilities, rape, ecofeminism, linguistics, family, and digital humanities.

Book excerpt: Samantha Stone never had a chance to really mature into a beautiful woman because of her looks and she was born in the eyes of a man’s world. Samantha’s beauty was not earth-shattering even though her mother said she was beautiful just the way she is. Samantha stood six feet tall with matted hair and brown eyes. It’s a shame her hopes and dreams of becoming a model someday would be shattered before she fully grew up as a woman. Every man that gazed upon her was not in a respectful way. After years of disappointing relationships, Samantha snapped and decided these lustful dogs would pay dearly for not treating her as any woman would want to be treated. Samantha always confided in her best friend Sarah to help her get through her rough times. One night as Samantha was crying on Sarah’s shoulder Sarah chimed in and said “I’m sick and tired of the way these dogs (men) are treating you, so being the friend that I am who loves and cares about you, I want you to call this woman who can help you. Her name is Gilda and yes she is a Witch, but if any one person in this world can help you she can. Yes, I too said the same thing about why would I call upon a Witch to solve my problems. I feel like I can conquer anything that stands in my way thanks to Gilda the Witch, so please give her a call?” “Thank you so much, Sarah, you are a true friend, and don’t worry you have my promise that I will call her in the morning,” said Samantha in a confident voice. Morning came and Samantha contacted Gilda by phone to seek revenge on her tormentors. Gilda reassured Samantha she had the perfect spell to help her solve her problem. As Samantha hung up the phone she wiped the salty tears from her cheeks and took in a deep breath as she stared into her bathroom mirror saying “I’m going to get my life back and make them all pay!”

Download or read book The Witches of Selwood Forest written by Andrew Pickering and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient forest of Selwood straddles the borders of Somerset and Wiltshire and terminates in the south where these counties meet Dorset. Until now, a comprehensive study of its exceptionally rich history of demonological beliefs and witchcraft persecution in the early modern period has not been attempted. This book explores the connections between important theological texts written in the region, notably Richard Bernard’s Guide to the Grand-Jury Men (1627) and Joseph Glanvill’s Saducismus Triumphatus (1681), influential local families such as the Hunts and the Hills, and the extraordinary witchcraft episodes associated with Shepton Mallet, Brewham, Stoke Trister, and elsewhere. In particular, it focuses on a little-known case in the village of Beckington in 1689, and shows how this was not a late, isolated episode, but an integral part of the wider Selwood Forest witchcraft story.
