About the Book
Gardener. Gossip. Spinster. Healer. Nymph . . . Witch.
For centuries, the work of women was viewed with suspicion. Their knowledge – of bodies, nature, and community – posed a threat to a masculine order. To men who saw them as something to be contained and controlled.
Good Witch takes us back hundreds of years to the dark times when witch hunts were sweeping Europe and North America. From Salem to England, Scotland to the northern corners of Norway, tens of thousands of women were persecuted, prosecuted and killed.
Today, we can still feel the legacy of the witch hunts: In the way the natural world has been degraded. In the way humans have become disengaged from the things that make us truly happy. A campaign of disenchantment has sought to disconnect us from the earth – and from each other.
But enchantment was never truly lost.
Across the globe, women are reclaiming the skills, practices and stories that masculine societies have tried so hard to diminish or dismiss. Here, Tonti shows us how a return to feminine power is what the world desperately needs now, more than ever.
Good Witch is history and manifesto, reckoning and celebration. It is a powerful exploration of what was lost. And what can be reclaimed.

'5 stars. An eye-opening deep dive into stolen feminine power and how we can reclaim it that will enrage and inspire.'
– GLAM Adelaide
'Energetic and enthralling.'
– The Saturday Paper
'A bold, wide-ranging and deeply personal reckoning with the persecution of women and the erasure of feminine labour, wisdom and power. Good Witch is a potent brew: history, incantation, remembrance and an invocation to rise and resist.'
– Emily Maguire, author of Rapture
‘In turns fascinating and infuriating, Good Witch takes us to catalysing moments in the history of Western misogyny. This book will have you mourning all the lost wisdom that was choked and burned alongside the so-called witches. It pressure-tests patriarchal interpretations of the records and gives voice to a fascinating range of expert women. I finished it in two sittings, smarter and angrier.’
– Bri Lee, author of Eggshell Skull and Seed
