The Witches of New York: Part Five

In this episode, Maggie and Harmony start to wrap up The Witches of New York by Ami Mckay after reading pages 407 to 497, October 10, 1880, Waxing Moon to October 11, 1880, Waxing Moon. They use the book as a catalyst to talk about creepy but well-meaning old men, the downsides to being powerful or “strong,” the book’s depiction of poverty, institutionalized bias, and writing as an act of defiance.
