Before diving into the universe and themes of The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, let’s come back to the figure of the witch as a feminist icon – because Deconstructeam offers an eminently political game whose roots must be grasped. In the Middle Ages, the witch was by definition the woman fooling around with the Evil One, the rascal who yielded to the temptation of the flesh or impious knowledge. Hence the stakes to “sanitize the population”. However, from the 19th century, a French historian named Jules Michelet began to unravel the question with a work soberly titled The witch, who is interested in this figure through the ages. He shows, with his excessively flowery but very well-sourced pen, that the witch is above all a healer, an herbalist, the one who is rejected as much as summoned in case of illness. Incidentally, he proves with the help of reports of religious trials that many cases of possession of nuns were fabricated to hide the sexual abuse of certain members of the clergy… Suffice to say that his book has made waves. As for the trope of the marginalized healer, we find it until the very recent film Barbie of Greta Gerwig with the Bizarre Barbie figure. Certainly no coincidence.
