Missing Witches – A Book for the Curious, the Brave, and the Magic-Seekers
Ready to explore the real stories of women witches and healers across time and place? Missing Witches is like sitting down with a cuppa and some seriously wise souls. Risa Dickens and Amy Torok have gathered up the forgotten and the overlooked – the magical women and rituals that didn’t make it into the history books – and they’re sharing them in this beautiful, powerful book.
Guided by the Wheel of the Year (yep, those eight sabbats we follow through the seasons), this book takes you on a journey from Harlem to Haiti, Oaxaca to ancient Mesopotamia. You’ll meet witchy ancestors like Monica Sjoo, HP Blavatsky, Maria Sabina, and Enheduanna, and learn about the times and places that shaped their magic.
What I love most? It’s not just facts and dates – it’s stories, feelings, personal journeys. The authors talk openly about power, pain, healing, and how magic shows up in the everyday. You’ll find rituals, reflections, and real-life inspiration to help you connect with your own path.
This isn’t just a history book. It’s a reminder that witches have always been here – and they’re still around (maybe even in your mirror). If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to the world than what we’re told... this one’s for you.
