Luxury edition, revised and expanded! W.I.T.C.H. (International Terrorist Conspiracy of the Women of Hell), the legendary feminist witches
Spread the word, sister! We celebrate the reissue of one of our most read and inspiring books with a new luxury edition, revised and expanded, featuring new statements and spells from the legendary W.I.T.C.H. (International Terrorist Conspiracy of the Women of Hell), feminists dedicated to witchcraft and subversion through spells, charms, curses, and sabotage that have inspired thousands of people.
“When you face one of us, you face all of us!” (W.I.T.C.H.). Pamphlets handed out during a parade: “We, sister witches of the one and only true underground, announce our presence and begin our spell.” Boycotts and street actions, demonstrations and occupations: “We are witches, we are women. We are liberation. We are us. W.I.T.C.H. is also a strategy, a means of subversion: witchcraft.”
Under the acronym W.I.T.C.H. (New York, 1968-1970) hid a surprising feminist guerrilla, forerunner of the Guerrilla Girls or Femen, whose weapons were magical spells and charms, feminist art, and direct action. Their activity was frantic, scandalous, and prodigious. Very soon, the aesthetic and style of that group of urban witches, guerrillas without brooms, sparked a flame in various American cities: feminist cells were created that embraced that message. The witches were everywhere. Cited as one of the most fascinating examples of sixties activism, the group went down in gold letters in the history of radical feminism, representing something feared, wild, and almost unnameable, while unleashing a fierce critique of patriarchy and the contradictions of the left itself, as devastating as it is current.
“They arrived like a hurricane, crouched under hoods and black cloaks” (El Periódico)
“A true combat manual” (Rolling Stone)
“They were the first to cough on the radical left movement that intended to build a new society without counting on feminism” (eldiario.es)
“Their aesthetic did not go unnoticed: long black cloaks and faces disfigured by devilish makeup, W.I.T.C.H. were, after all, witches of the 20th century. Their weapons were direct action, boycott, demonstrations, and, of course, spells and covens” (El País)
