The bigger picture of witchcraft and wicca

Witchcraft: A Graphic History: Stories of wise women, healers and magic by Lindsay Squire

September 23, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Part fiction and part non-fiction, Witchcraft: A Graphic History: Stories of wise women, healers and magic includes the history of one woman Biddy Early, (perhaps not well-known to today’s audience, but one of Ireland’s most famous witches). It is told as a story of how she helped her village, but still people feared her powers while in-between are parts the history of witch trials, tools of the trade, familiars, types of witches/witchcraft and more.
