“A masterful and moving meditation on female power and persecution . . . Waking the Witch is an artful gateway into a history that is both profoundly and painfully relevant today.” – Kristen J. Solee, author of Witch Hunt: A Traveler’s Guide to the Power and Persecution of the Witch

“The wonderful Pam Grossman takes us on a whirlwind tour of witches in history, literature, and the cinematic and visual arts, serving up much food for thought along the way.” -Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of Witchcraft
