Initiating readers in the fascinating and complex history of witchcraft, from the goddess mythologies of ancient cultures to the contemporary embrace of the craft by modern artists and activists, this expansive tome conjures up a breathtaking overview of an age-old tradition. Rooted in legend, folklore, and myth, the archetype of the witch has evolved from the tales of Odysseus and Circe, the Celtic seductress Cerridwen, and the myth of Hecate, fierce ruler of the moonlit night. In Witchcraft we survey her many incarnations since, as she shape-shifts through the centuries, alternately transforming into mother, nymph, and crone—seductress and destroyer.
Edited by Jessica Hundley, and co-edited by author, scholar, and practitioner Pam Grossman, this enthralling visual chronicle is the first of its kind, a deep dive into the complex symbologies behind witchcraft traditions, as explored through the history of art itself. The witch has played muse to great artists throughout time, from the dark seductions of Francisco José de Goya and Albrecht Dürer to the elegant paean to the magickal feminine as re-imagined by the Surrealist circle of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Leonor Fini. The witch has spellbound through folktales and dramatic literature as well, from the poison apples of The Brothers Grimm, to the Weird Sisters gathered at their black cauldron in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, to L. Frank Baum’s iconic Wicked Witch of the West, cackling over the fate of Dorothy.
Throughout this entrancing visual voyage, we’ll also bear witness to the witch as she endures persecution and evolves into empowerment, a contemporary symbol of bold defiance and potent nonconformity. Featuring enlightening essays by modern practitioners like Kristen J. Sollée and Judika Illes, as well interviews with authors and scholars such as Madeline Miller and Juliet Diaz, Witchcraft includes a vast range of cultural traditions that embrace magick as spiritual exploration and creative catharsis.

Este extenso volumen, que inicia a los lectores en la fascinante y compleja historia de la brujería, desde las mitologías de las diosas de las culturas antiguas hasta la adopción contemporánea del oficio por parte de artistas y activistas modernos, conjura una impresionante visión general de una tradición milenaria. El arquetipo de la bruja, enraizado en la leyenda, el folclore y el mito, ha evolucionado desde las historias de Ulises y Circe, la seductora celta Cerridwen y el mito de Hécate, feroz gobernante de la noche de luz de luna. En Brujería se repasan sus múltiples encarnaciones desde entonces, ya que cambia de forma a lo largo de los siglos, transformándose alternativamente en madre, ninfa y arpía, seductora y destructora.Esta apasionante crónica visual, editada por Jessica Hundley y coeditada por la escritora, académica y practicante Pam Grossman, es la primera de este tipo, una inmersión profunda en las complejas simbologías que hay detrás de las tradiciones de la brujería, exploradas a través de la historia del arte. Las bruja han sido musas de grandes artistas a lo largo del tiempo, desde las oscuras seducciones de Francisco José de Goya y Alberto Durero hasta el elegante canto a la magia femenina reinterpretado por el círculo surrealista de Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington y Leonor Fini. Las brujas también ha hechizado a través de los cuentos populares y la literatura dramática, desde las manzanas envenenadas de los hermanos Grimm, hasta las hermanas extrañas reunidas en su caldero negro en Macbeth de Shakespeare, pasando por la icónica Bruja Mala del Oeste de L. Frank Baum, que se burla del destino de Dorothy.A lo largo de este fascinante viaje visual, también seremos testigos de cómo las brujas fueron perseguidas y evolucionaron hacia el empoderamiento, un símbolo contemporáneo de audaz desafío y potente inconformismo. Con ensayos reveladores de practicantes modernas como Kristen J. Sollée y Judika Illes, así como entrevistas con autores y estudiosos como Madeline Miller y Juliet Diaz, Brujería incluye una amplia gama de tradiciones culturales que adoptan la magia como modo de exploración espiritual y catarsis creativa.Sobre la serieLa Biblioteca de Esoterismo explora el modo en que los artistas han dado forma al misticismo a lo largo de los siglos, y cómo han convertido lo arcano y oculto en obras de arte duraderas y visionarias. Cada tema se aborda por medio de imágenes antiguas y modernas procedentes de colecciones privadas, bibliotecas y museos de todo el mundo. El resultado es una historia visual inclusiva, un estudio de nuestra atracción instintiva por los sueños y las pesadillas, y de las formas creativas con las que intentamos conectar con lo divino.
