My Thoughts on Pam Grossman’s “Waking the Witch”

I recently finished reading Pam Grossman’s Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic and Power, published in June of 2019. Grossman is the host/creator of the podcast The Witch Wave. I came across her book in the library I work in, and I decided to check it out. I could barely put it down.

First, let me say this: if you’re planning to read this book, have pen and paper handy, because you will find yourself taking notes and wanting to look up the material Grossman makes references to. I learned something fascinating about L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz, and what inspired him to write the book and create certain characters. Grossman makes references to familiar television shows, films and books. I enjoyed reading Grossman’s personal experiences as well as the facts and data she has compiled. Historical references about witchcraft and wicca are mentioned, but not to the extent that you feel weighed down by the information.

This was a very interesting read, and anyone who is interested in women’s history or witchcraft will most likely enjoy it.

And on this article My Thoughts on Pam Grossman’s “Waking the Witch” – Nicole E Woolaston. I was actually excited enough to post a commenta response 😉 I actually do have 2 questions for you if you usually do not mind.
Is it just me or does it look like like some of these
remarks appear like coming from brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are
writing on other places, I would like to follow you.
Would you make a list the complete urls of all your social pages like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
