Under a spell: A guide to the 21st century witch

1 Mins read

Witchcraft is an ancient practice that is experiencing a rapid revival. Many believe that witches are simply characters in stories but they do walk among us, just not in the way you may think.

From ancient pagan traditions to the rise of modern movements like Wicca, these beliefs have evolved and made their mark on peoples daily lives.

The Atlantis Bookshop in London has taught people about witchcraft and the esoteric for over a century. Seeing a rise in interest, a growing community is uncovered.

Two witches challenge stereotypes, presenting witchcraft as a way to connect with nature, a community and the improved version of yourself.

It is clear that attitudes are changing and more people are interested in ancient pagan beliefs, but why are these practices continuing to resonate with people today?
