Smith “It is rating our conjectures too highly to roast people alive for them.” —MONTAIGNE “Women have been burnt as witches simply because they were beautiful.” —SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR Fair Warning Don’t open this book … If you’ve never wished for a spell to make someone love you, If you’ve never wanted a magic wand, If you’ve never longed for a cloak of invisibility, If you’ve never wondered how witches fly. Because this book may not bring your beloved close forever, and it may not provide you with a magic wand, nor a magic cloak, nor a recipe for flight; but it will certainly try to show you how wishes transform our lives and how we fly on them to secret sabbaths and meet our gods and demons there. Who were the witches? Heretics or healers, members of a psychedelic cult, worshipers of pagan gods, or merely women who were not afraid to fly? We are not going to give you a quick course in witchcraft, or detail the horrors of the Inquisition, or propound one historian’s theory over another. But we will try to show—through poems and paintings, through prose and pencil drawings— how the figure of the witch can teach us about our most secret selves. If you have a secret self—read on.
