True stories. True Magic.
Discover the untold stories of powerful women who have been labelled as witches throughout history - not the kind that ride broomsticks, but real priestesses, wise women, and healers who defied oppression.
From a Haitian Vodou priestess who fought for freedom to a Japanese shaman queen who brought peace to her land, these ten remarkable figures shaped their cultures and inspired change with their magic and wisdom. Their stories have seldom been told before but this incredible illustrated collection invites readers to connect with their global histories and culture through powerful narratives.
The stories of these women are expertly brought to life with illustrations by Imogen Oh and Anatasia Stefurak.
Join us in celebrating these daughters of magic - each story a spark that ignites our own power and inspires a new generation.
