Several years ago, I featured the fantastic book Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positiveby Kristen J. Sollée on the site. I loved it so much, and frequently wondered if/when I would see the author’s work out in the world again. You can imagine how excited I was when flipping through the Weiser Books catalog and saw her name once again.
This time the book is Witch Hunt: A Traveler’s Guide to the Power & Persecution of the Witch.It is the perfect follow up to Witches, Sluts, Feminists. Where her first book followed much of the evolution of the persecuted female witch, her latest, Witch Hunt, Sollée literally travels that history. A personal memoir and travelogue, Witch Huntshares the authors reflections and experiences in unexpected and widespread locales. Visit Italy and Vatican City, France, Germany, Ireland, England, and Scotland. In the United States you will learn more about America’s misadventures with witchcraft in Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, and of course, Salem, Massachusetts.
Sollée does everyone a huge favor by providing travel resources in the back of the book. Trust me, by the time you are done with Witch Huntyou are going to want to check them all out! Witch Huntis a thoughtful exploration time and place, and the convergence of religion, spirituality, and gender.
