10. Why is the witch a feminist symbol? With Dr Lorna Stevens

Season 2 · Episode 10

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 16:02

The word ‘witch’ might conjure up images of a vengeful old woman with a broomstick and a pointed hat but – as Dr Lorna Stevens explains in this episode – she is in fact a powerful emblem of a woman finding and embracing her own power.

Lorna is the co-author of the recently published book Bewitching Consumer Culture: Witchcraft, Feminism and Markets. Here, she shares how witchcraft and markets have been entwined for hundreds of years, from the fanaticism of witch-hunts through to the high street of Glastonbury, right up to the modern phenomenon of #WitchTok.
