A journey through the moonlit night

We invite you on a journey where every shadow tells a tale of witchcraft, persecution and persistence. In this beautifully illustrated volume, discover witches real and legendary, who once cursed, inspired, helped or empowered their communities, but who are now largely forgotten.

More than 80 stunning, spooky illustrations

The Book of Forgotten Witches introduces ten different categories of witches, from curse-bringers, shape-shifters and survivors to revenants, nature witches and fate-turners. Most, but far from all, are women, and their stories come from across the world.
