British witchcraft and paganism in film and television.

For more than a century, witches have cast their spell over audiences across Britain. From the fantasy crones of silent cinema to the murderous Satanists of 1970s horror, the persecuted women of historical dramas to the fresh-faced students of Hogwarts, the theme of witchcraft has captivated generation after generation. But what do these on-screen tales of witchery and magic tell us about modern culture--both in Britain and beyond? How do they reflect ever-changing perceptions of the witch? In what way have they shaped the rise of Wicca, the Satanic Panic, or Pottermania?

Pale Hecate's Offerings provides the definitive examination of witchcraft in British film and television. Covering a wide range of genres, including children's programming, horror cinema, whodunnits, and documentaries, this necessary book analyses the ways that these popular representations interact with Britain's rich heritage of literature, lore, and practical occultism. In doing so it offers intriguing insights into the island's cultural history that should fascinate all those interested in supernatural fiction, British film and television, and the strange worlds of modern witchery.
