But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWitch Power\u003c\/i\u003e follows Emma Quilty – herself a witch and an anthropologist – on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to 'red tent' menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAttentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance.
