About the work

The Moon, Sun, and Witches by Irene Marsha Silverblatt examines how celestial cycles, gendered power, and ritual practices intersect in the social and religious lives of communities. The work situates witchcraft within historical and cultural contexts, exploring how belief, science, and politics shape perceptions of the lunar and solar rhythms. This edition centers on the 13-digit ISBN (9780691022581) to anchor its scholarly rigor and accessibility for readers across disciplines.

Summary

The book traverses a tapestry of stories, calendars, and ceremonial practices to reveal how people understood time, nature, and gender through the lenses of moon and sun worship. Silverblatt dissects case studies from diverse cultures, showing how witches, midwives, and ritualists navigated social hierarchies, contested authority, and communal memory. Through careful analysis, the work connects celestial symbolism to everyday life, revealing the enduring influence of cosmology on social structures and moral codes.
