In this compelling exploration of language, archaeology, and early medieval literature, Max Dashú illuminates hidden cultural heritages. She shows that the old ethnic names for "witch" signify 'wisewoman, ' 'prophetess, ' 'diviner, ' 'chanter, ' 'herbalist, ' and 'healer.' She fleshes out the oracular ceremonies and archaeological finds that connect with wider European themes of goddesses, fates, witches, and female power. Witches and Pagans looks at women's sacraments in early medieval Europe, a subject that has been buried deep for centuries. Women set out offering tables for the Three Sisters or the "good women," chanted over herbs, and healed children by passing them through 'elf-bores.' Spinning and weaving were ceremonial acts with divinatory or protective power. Gathering together forgotten strands from heathen European heritages, Witches and Pagans reweaves the ripped webs of women's culture. Conversation originally recorded in 2011.
