“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it ”

Kate Hodges is fascinated by stories of fierce mythological women, such as Pele, the Hawaiian goddess (pictured), believed to live in Kilauea volcano, which erupts when she cries out for her true love. Hodges’ book, Warriors, Witches, Women, celebrates these tales. She explains: ‘These names are whispered in bedtime stories across the world, standing the test of time and capturing the imagination of all people, regardless of gender, age or race. These fabulous women may be from the darkest past, but they’re leading the charge forward.’
