Witchcraft: A Graphic History: Stories of Wise Women, Healers and Magic
by Lindsay Squire
informative
medium-paced
A graphic novel that explores witchcraft with enchanting illustrations. In this book you learn more about the history of witchcraft, including Biddy Early, an important witch in witchcraft history.
Witchcraft is not a topic I know much about, though I've always kept an open mind about it. With that I mean that I neither believe or not believe in it and I respect anyone who does. However, I do believe that witches have always unfairly been given a bad name.
Going into this with an open mind is the best thing to do - even if you don't particularly believe in it. There is a lot of historic information as well that I've never read about before. Graphic novels like this are always a great way to learn about history. I 100% recommend this if you are interested in learning more about history or witchcraft.
However I did expect a bit more about history rather than the one fictional part of Biddy meating her apprentice. I would've liked to see her full story from birth to death and I felt like it was marketed as such.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for making it possible to read this arc. I'm very excited for the release on October 15th!
