Women’s History Month with Marjorie Cameron, Dion Fortune, and Pamela Colman Smith

“Happy Women’s History Month! We all know about fictional witches like Circe, Nancy Downs, and the Sanderson Sisters. But what about the real folk healers, midwives, priestesses, and wise women of history? Here are ten women whom every contemporary witch should know about. … [Marjorie] Cameron (1922-1995) … Enheduanna (23rd Century BCE) … Clarissa Pinkola Estés (1945-) … Dion Fortune (1890-1946) … Isobel Gowdie (1600s) … Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) … Marie Laveau (1801-1881) … Catherine Mavoisin, a.k.a. “La Voisin” (1640-1680) … Pamela Colman Smith (1878-1951) … Rachel True (1966-) … Doreen Valiente (1922-1999)”—”10 Witches, Priestesses, and Wise Women in History You May Not Know About

That list is all over the place, but, I mean, if you don’t know about any or some of them, check out these short bios and then look for more. From this list Marjorie Cameron, Dion Fortune, and Pamela Colman Smith are particularly relevant to the library’s subject matter, but all, more or less, are relevant to the over all subject matter of what could be at the library. There could be so many more!
