IMAGES OF WITCHES IN POPULAR CULTURE / GOODY COLE READING & DISCUSSION

Has society's ideas of the "witch" changed over the centuries? The Hampton Historical Society invites you to find out, Friday, June 20, starting at 7 p.m. in the restored 1796 Leavitt Barn on the grounds of the historic Tuck Museum.

Images of Witches in Popular Culture presents the conception of what a witch looked like, as mirrored in the works of various print artists from late medieval times to the modern period. In the 20th century, film and television take over as the primary reflective media. Has the idea of the "witch" changed over the centuries? Come find out!

Following the presentation, there will be a reading from "The Mark of Goody Cole," a new biography on "The Witch of Hampton," followed by a Q&A with the author, Cheryl Lassiter.

We will be serving up witches' brew and a modern-day version of witch cake.

Admission is free, but donations of any amount to the Tuck Museum will be welcomed.  For information call the Tuck Museum, 929-0781.
