The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/category/features/arts-culture)
“Contemporary reclamations of ‘witch’ as feminist identity tend toward celebration,” writes Beatrix Kondo, “which Atwood declines. What she offers instead is something harder and more useful: these practices functioned as survival apparatus for populations the official world refused to protect.”
At Starwood Festival, psychonaut roots, Pagan-adjacent community, music, ritual, and radical hospitality converge, creating an intimate, transformative gathering where seekers, artists, and elders alike rediscover land, lineage, and the enduring feeling of coming home together.
“This is a grimoire,” writes Beatrix Kondo. “You must learn which extracts do what, which acids exfoliate, which peptides build collagen, which ferments penetrate deepest. You must study. You must practice. You must have faith.”
“For contemporary practitioners of Witchcraft, the novel demands wrestling with a complicated history,” Cosette Paneque writes. “These women weren’t claiming the identity of ‘Witch.’ They were sharing knowledge, building community, exercising what small control they could over their precarious lives.”
