Embracing the Witch and the Goddess

Focusing on contemporary feminist witches in New Zealand, the book delves into their rituals, beliefs, and the appeal of witchcraft. It contrasts New Zealand's unique witchcraft with practices in the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia, while tracing the history of feminist witchcraft and its connection to the Goddess movement. Kathryn Rountree critically examines scholarly perspectives and key debates within the movement, advocating for a "Hag-identified vision" that enriches the understanding of witchcraft beyond traditional historical and anthropological frameworks.
