From the podcast host of The Witch Wave and practicing witch Pam Grossman—who Vulture has dubbed the “Terry Gross of witches”—comes an exploration of the world’s fascination with witches, why they have intrigued us for centuries and why they’re more relevant now than ever. When you think of a witch, what do you picture? Pointy black hat, maybe a broomstick. But witches in various guises have been with us for millennia. In Waking the Witch, Pam Grossman explores the impact of the world’s most magical icon. From the idea of the femme fatale in league with the devil to the bewitching pop culture archetypes in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Harry Potter; from the spooky ladies in fairy tales to the rise of contemporary witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women. Part cultural analysis, part memoir, Waking the Witch traces the author’s own journey on the path to witchcraft, and how this has helped her find self-empowerment and purpose. It celebrates witches past, present, and future, and reveals the critical role they have played—and will continue to play—in the world as we know it. “Deftly illuminating the past while beckoning us towards the future, Waking the Witch has all the makings of a feminist classic. Wise, relatable, and real, Pam Grossman is the witch we need for our times” (Ami McKay, author of The Witches of New York).The fact that you purchase Artwork & Times along with Pictorial Key, the deck itself, and a handful of small prints and postcards as the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set (2009), an exquisitely packaged, cabinet-like box made by a ...

"Pamela Colman Smith's illustrations for the Rider Waite tarot deck are known to millions, but her work took her from art galleries to salons with luminaries of the English suffrage movement, the Irish literary revival, and friendships with Ellen Terry, Bram Stoker, and W. B. Yeats among many others"--Colman Smith depicts herself and Edith Craig devilishly miniaturized in the margins, watching Terry as Nance ... the commemorative edition of the Smith-Waite Tarot cards that collates reproductions of many of her visual artworks. 7.

'My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side,' warns Dracula. This statement is descriptive of the Gothic genre. Like the Count, the Gothic encompasses and has manifested itself in many forms. Bram Stoker and the Gothic demonstrates how Dracula marks a key moment in the transformation of the Gothic. Harking back to early Gothic's preoccupation with the supernatural, decayed aristocracy and incarceration in gloomy castles, the novel speaks to its own time, but has also transformed the genre, a revitalization that continues to sustain the Gothic today. This collection explores the formations of the Gothic, the relationship between Stoker's work and some of his Gothic predecessors, such as Poe and Wollstonecraft, presents new readings of Stoker's fiction and probes the influences of his cultural circle, before concluding by examining aspects of Gothic transformation from Daphne du Maurier to Stoker's own 'reincarnation' in fiction and biography. Bram Stoker and the Gothic testifies to Stoker's centrality to the Gothic genre. Like Dracula, Stoker's 'revenge' shows no sign of abating.To all believers — the art of Pamela Colman Smith [Delaware Art Museum 8: Art Museum, Princeton UniVersity] pp. [28]; illitext 8: cover Wilmington: Delaware ... 80; ilUtext NY: For the editor A commemorative biographical compilation.
