Witchcraft, in some form, has existed beyond recorded history, even if not called by that name. While men have practiced or been accused of Witchcraft, women have been the primary recipients of its cultural construction through time and across cultures. Therefore, the history of Witchcraft is the history of Women or more specifically the history of women's agency within society. In this workshop, I will talk about Witchcraft, mainly in its many modern forms, and how it has managed to embody two diametrically opposed ideas - oppression and empowerment.
