SUMMARY:The History of Witchcraft & Women: Magic\, rituals and the patriarc
 hy
LOCATION:21Soho
DESCRIPTION:Uncover the fascinating history of witchcraft and how patriarch
 al ideas shaped the image of a witch. Followed by Q&A.\n\nThe image of a f
 emale witch\, with broom and black cat serving the devil\, is ingrained in
  pop culture. But where did this stereotype come from? The concept of witc
 hcraft emerged slowly over the course of several centuries as a result of 
 theological\, intellectual\, and cultural changes in ideas about demons an
 d heresy.\n\nMagical practices were varied - including love magic\, healin
 g\, and various forms of prognostication. And it certainly wasn’t always
  associated with women. In fact\, more ‘sinister’ magic like necromanc
 y - which relied heavily on the power of demons - was mostly done by men. 
 This type of magic involved a lot of education that simply wasn’t access
 ible to women at the time. So how come this image of evil women practising
  magic - witches - came about?\n\nThis talk will use feminist approaches t
 o the past to explore medieval changes in ideas about magic\, gender\, and
  heresy in order to better understand the emergence of witchcraft at the e
 nd of the middle ages. We will also look at witchcraft in relation to fema
 le sexuality and fears about women’s access to ritual power throughout h
 istory.\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to 
 grab a good seat!\n\nFollow us on IG @seedtalks\n\nDr Jennifer Farrell is 
 a lecturer in medieval history at the University of Exeter.\n\nBoletos: ht
