Samhain stories for your coven - Folktales of Witchcraft by Lilla Bölecz & Balázs Tátrai
Balázs Tátrai and Lilla Bölecz present their new book “The Book of Forgotten Witches: Dark & Twisted Folklore & Stories from Around the World” (Watkins Publishing). A collection of folklore and stories of legendary and historical witches from all over the world, with over 80 stunning, spooky illustrations. A perfect gift for the witchy people in your life.
For many centuries the figure of the witch has haunted our imagination and our nightmares. There have been many attempts to quash our fascination with these wielders of forbidden powers, but all have failed. We invite you now on a journey through a moonlit world, where every shadow tells a tale of magic, persecution and persistence.
In this beautifully illustrated volume, discover diverse witches real and legendary from across the globe, who once terrorised, devoured, helped or empowered their communities, but who are now largely forgotten. Ten chapters introduce 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.
Each chapter is linked to a different card of the Major Arcana and to a stage in the alchemical process of turning base metal to gold. In this way, as you learn about the witches, you will complete a journey of self-discovery and transformation, gleaning wisdom and empowerment from the awe-inspiring magical practitioners of folk tradition and history.
Balázs Tátrai is a writer of unusual stories, rooted in folklore and branching out into the unexpected. His passion is the study of alchemy and 17th century iconography.
