The witch has become one of the most iconic modern symbols of feminism. From Lana Del Rey to Instagram’s The Hoodwitch, feminists deploy the term “witch” for empowered women who get their strength from spaces other than men or general society. In fact, there’s probably a bit of a basic witch in all of us.
This holiday season, shopping for gifts for the modern witch — whether she’s your mysterious, spell-casting BFF, sister, cousin or mama — shouldn’t be all toil and trouble.
