For centuries, women were feared for their knowledge of bodies, nature, and community. In Good Witch, Lucianne Tonti explores the brutal history of witch hunts across Europe and North America, where tens of thousands of women were persecuted and killed. She argues that the legacy of these hunts still shapes the modern world, contributing to our disconnection from nature, community, and ourselves. Yet the wisdom and practices that were suppressed were never entirely lost.

Part history, part manifesto, Good Witch celebrates women reclaiming traditional knowledge, feminine power, and connection to the natural world, revealing why these are more important today than ever.
