Reviews
"Witches and witchcraft have long been enduring themes in the film and television of the United States. Here, Heather Greene offers a thorough and well-written historical overview of the subject. Greene contextualises these depictions amid broader social developments, including the Satanic Panic and the emergence of new religions like Wicca and LaVeyan Satanism whose practitioners called themselves 'witches.'"--Dr. Ethan Doyle White, author of Wicca: History, Belief, and Community in Modern Pagan Witchcraft and coeditor of Magic and Witchery in the Modern West "Heather Greene has conjured a comprehensive compendium of witch films from the very earliest silent reels right up to the present. I teach a course on witch films yet I found new treasures to dig up. This is an invaluable handbook which follows themes threading through the whole history of movies."--Dr. K.A. Laity, author and tenured professor of medieval literature, film, gender studies, digital humanities, and popular culture "This book is a must read for anyone interested in U.S. history, film studies, anthropology, psychology, literature, folklore, practicing witches, and for people who like movies. It is a meticulously researched and scholarly, yet highly readable, humorous, and entertaining analysis of the role of the figure of the witch in American culture through the medium of film and television."--Candace C. Kant, PhD, academic dean of Cherry Hill Seminary "Heather Greene's comprehensive and lively survey of witches in U.S. film and television deftly digs into the inherent tension within this fascinating recurring figure--one that can offer thrilling spectacle and feminist liberation while contending with the forces of folklore and Hollywood patriarchy."--Dr. Jonathan Lupo, Associate Professor of Communication, English Department, Saint Anselm College (Manchester, NH) "Witches are the curious stuff of dual dimensions: real-world religious practitioners, and horror and fantasy characters of the entertainment industry. These expressions often overlap, and then inform each other, at least in the assumptions of many genre consumers. In this volume Heather Greene provides a helpful discussion of this phenomenon that is both entertaining and informative."--John W. Morehead, creator of www.TheoFantastique.com and coeditor of The Journal of Gods and Monsters "Heather Greene talks of revenge and redemption in an artful socio-cultural exploration of the cinematic texts we have known all our lives. Light, Camera, Witchcraft is a comprehensive look at some of the rarer and more revealing Witch tropes on film. The book discusses racism, female agency, and more, while artfully depicting film's obsession with the Witch in all its wild and wonderful glory. I loved it."--Lilith Dorsey, author Water Magic and Orishas, Goddesses and Voodoo Queens "My mother was inspired by gorgeous Veronica Lake in I Married a Witch, I looked to Samantha (or, better, Eudora) and my daughter had Sabrina, Buffy, and The Craft. Every age gets a media interpretation of what it is to wear the Hat and carry the Broom. Heather Greene's beautiful compendium of TV and movie witches is a rich source of information on the times in the US and the witch figures that embody the zeitgeist of each."--H. Byron Ballard, author of Roots, Branches & Spirits "American cinema has greatly impacted how both the public sees Witchcraft and how Witches see themselves. That fascinating history has never been told before now. This book is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the history of Modern Witchcraft."--Jason Mankey, author of Transformative Witchcraft, "Greene provides a full-landscape survey of our modern conceptions of the witch through the medium of film. Lights, Camera, Witchcraftis enthralling, comprehensive, and clarifying on so many levels, whether for cinephile, student, seeker, or practitioner."--Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America "Greene has conjured a comprehensive compendium of witch films from the very earliest silent reels right up to the present...This is an invaluable handbook which follows themes threading through the whole history of movies."--Dr. K.A. Laity, author and tenured professor of medieval literature, film, gender studies, digital humanities, and popular culture "A must-read for anyone interested in US history, film studies, anthropology, psychology, literature, folklore, practicing witches, and for people who like movies. It is a meticulously researched and scholarly, yet highly readable, humorous, and entertaining analysis."--Candace C. Kant, PhD, academic dean of Cherry Hill Seminary "Greene provides a helpful discussion...that is both entertaining and informative."--John W.

That fascinating history has never been told before now. This book is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the history of Modern Witchcraft."--Jason Mankey, author of Transformative Witchcraft "A definitive guide to the subject of witchcraft in American television and film...Greene expertly maps out the archetype of the witch and the witch's evolution as portrayed by the media, both positive and negative lights...The book is informative, intelligent, and entertaining."--Mat Auryn, bestselling author of Psychic Witch "A perceptive, nuanced, and comprehensive overview of the witch figure in American film and television, from the late 1800s to the present day...This book will appeal to anyone interested in film and media history."--Sabina Magliocco, professor of anthropology and chair, program in the Study of Religion at University of British Columbia, Vancouver "If you've been hunting for a thorough--and thoroughly enjoyable--tome about witches in pop occulture, look no further! Heather Greene has written the definitive book on the subject."--Pam Grossman, author of Waking the Witchand host of The Witch Wavepodcast "Scholarly yet accessible, Greene provides a masterful visual and symbolic taxonomy of the witch, framed expertly within the context of American film and media history."--Amy Hale, PhD, anthropologist and folklorist, writing about the occult, culture, and women "Greene's comprehensive and lively survey of witches in US film and television deftly digs into the inherent tension within this fascinating recurring figure."--Dr. Jonathan Lupo, Associate Professor of Communication, English Department, Saint Anselm College

The description said like new but the box and cards inside were still wrapped in plastic so it had never been used or opened. There was one little corner on the box that was not perfect but I’ve received brand new decks like that before just from shipping. I will definitely purchase from this seller again.
