The Medford Public Library is sponsoring a virtual author talk with Author Alexis Prescott discussing her recent release, “The First Witches: Women of Power in the Classical World.” This book provides a readable overview of how the Western witch originated. So profound was the impact of the classical witch upon Western thought and literature that she even lives on today as a prototype of the gruesome woman found in folklore, horror stories and movies.
