100witches: Its OFFICIALLY 100 days until Halloween and I refuse to contain my excitement any longer
100witches: Its OFFICIALLY 100 days until Halloween and I refuse to contain my excitement any longer. I’m feeling quite ambitious but up for the challenge. Introducing: 100 Witches/Witch Families/Covens (and some other generally badass marginalized and persecuted women and occultists that probably would not have used the term witch). 100 days. 100 posts. 100+ Witches. These will be in no particular order, and will, as witchcraft does, span history, literature, mythology, cinema, and the modern world. GET READY. To start us off:100- The Witch of EndorNo, this is not some awesome character you missed in Star Wars. This biblical necromancer appears in 1 Samuel 28. After driving out all magicians and necromancers from Israel, King Saul seeks her out for assistance. Through her, the ghost of the Prophet Samuel berates Saul, predicting his death and downfall.We’ll see this trope of those in power banishing those with power, only to later seek them out for help, again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_of_Endor -- source link
