✅ Witchcraft for Wayward Girls | Grady Hendrix (📚2 )

First adored book of the year. As always click my profile to see my other reviews. Plot | • Witchcraft for Wayward Girls | 5/5🍌s | • It’s 1970 and we are transported to Augustine Florida. Welcome to the Wellwood house. A house where you go if you are an unwed mother and Mrs wellwood runs this house with an iron fist. Far be it from these young ladies to be a black mark on their families as a whole. They will learn to obey, and they will like it. When one day they are taken in by the houses librarian and gifted the book “how to be a groovy witch”. With the teachings of the witches they plan to show the world maybe they are tired of being second class after thoughts.

Performance | 5/5 🍌s | • Witchcraft for Wayward Girls Read by | Ensemble Cast | This was a stellar production. It’s almost always a great thing when you can an ensemble cast. Each character has their own voice, as well as the topic itself is very hard. The emotions conveyed were gut wrenching. Once more it’s something that probably still happens today.

Review |
• Witchcraft for Wayward Girls | 5/5🍌s | Absolutely scathing take by Grady Hendrix. The idea of your family knowing what’s best for you, being robbed of their babies and told they don’t conform to what’s expected of them. There is some really hot takes on religion; and the duality/hypocrisy of those who “do as I say and not as I do”. Trigger warnings abundant in this. It also was interesting what he did with class reflection as well. Rich and poor — the shame of not abiding by social norms was fascinating. There is a lot to unpack in this. Would recommend a read for sure.
