Halloween & the History of Witches

Have you ever wondered, especially on Halloween, why witches are depicted as riding on brooms through the nighttime sky? You're never going to look at sweeping the same way again... How did the benevolent image of a wise woman transform into the malevolent figure of the witch we know today?

This virtual presentation was done by Grounded Goodwife (who also did an Amber Pet Collars virtual program for us back in August) and held via Zoom on October 7 at 5:00 & live streamed to the library's Facebook page.
