The Witching Hour refers to the time of the night associated with supernatural events. Sensed presences, apparitional experiences and energy flows are most common around 3am. Creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to appear and to be at their most powerful.
In folklore, when we refer to witchcraft, we let all of the magical practices we can think of being incorporated in this word, such as rituals, to bring a desired outcome or making healing remedies. According to philosopher Silvia Federici, the witch hunt deepened the divisions between women and men, teaching men to fear the power of women and destroy a universe of practices, beliefs, and social subjects.
Nowadays, spiritual knowledge still stimulates our curiosity; the power of symbols and objects is ever fascinating, aspiring resistance and feminism; through mysticism   a new form of feminine power and sorority is born.
