EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Magical and Mystical: A Witch's Gathering at Half the City Women's Centre, Norwich (1982) This illustration graced the cover of the Autumn 1982 issue of Half the City, the information magazine published by the Women's Centre in Norwich. The image invites us into a world of enchantment and sisterhood, as a witch, dressed in traditional attire, gathers around a bubbling cauldron with her loyal feline companion. The intricately detailed scene is set against the backdrop of a full moon and the silhouette of ancient trees, emphasizing the connection between nature and the magical arts. The Women's Centre in Norwich was a vital community hub for women, providing a safe and inclusive space for them to come together, learn, and support one another. The cover of this issue of Half the City reflects the Centre's commitment to empowering women and fostering a sense of sisterhood. The witch, as a symbol of strength, independence, and transformation, embodies the spirit of the Women's Centre and the women it served. The use of the witch motif in the illustration also speaks to the resurgence of interest in the magical and mystical during the late 1970s and 1980s. This period saw a revival of traditional witchcraft practices, as well as the emergence of modern forms of witchcraft, such as Wicca. The illustration on the cover of Half the City reflects this cultural shift, as well as the growing sense of empowerment and self-discovery among women during this time. Overall, this illustration is a beautiful and evocative representation of the magical and transformative power of women coming together in a supportive and nurturing environment. It serves as a reminder of the importance of community, sisterhood, and the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.
