Prof Marion Gibson says political polarisation could explain growing interest in the subject.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the increasing interest in witchcraft, particularly among young women, as a form of resistance against patriarchal structures and traditional politics. Historian and author Dr. Ronald Hutton notes that this trend is driven by a desire for empowerment and a connection to nature, as well as a reaction to the rise of right-wing politics. The article highlights how witchcraft is being used as a tool for social and political activism, with many practitioners engaging in rituals and spells aimed at promoting social justice and environmental causes. This resurgence of interest in witchcraft is seen as part of a broader cultural shift towards alternative spiritual practices and a rejection of mainstream religious and political institutions.
