Gwrachod Cymru | Welsh Witches, is a new book, already reprinted, in which Welsh artist and writer Efa Lois retells the stories of witches from across Wales, bringing them to life through her vibrant illustrations.
Tales of witches permeate the Welsh psyche, its folklore, history and culture. With distinctly Welsh fixations such as water, the weather and shapeshifting, these women are radical and transgressive, enduring yet elusive. Professional folklorist Dr Juliette Wood provides an introduction that adds historical context to these narratives and the changing perceptions of women through time. Exposing the misogyny in their stories and celebrating female power, this book is a fascinating and sumptuous compendium of over 100 Welsh witches.
