August Book Club: A Spell in the Wild

Our book club is back! The first book we’ll be reading is A Spell in the Wild: A Year (and Six Centuries) of Magic by Alice Tarbuck. This seasonal guide to witchcraft and magic delves into the history of witchcraft, in an accessible way, and explores the role of being a witch in modern times. Author of the book and academic Dr Alice Tarbuck says, “Where ‘witch’ was once a dangerous—and often deadly—accusation, it is now a proud self-definition.” This book will take readers “month by month...through everyday magic for extraordinary times.”

Join us to talk about these essays via Zoom on Thursday 26th August from 7 pm - 8.30 pm. Alice Tarbuck will join us for the last 30 minutes for a Q&A. 

Limited tickets are available via Eventbrite. Alternatively, sign up to tier 2 or above via our Patreon for access. Cunning Folk book club attendees get an exclusive 20% of this title from our friends at Libreria, in London’s East End.
