🌲 EPISODE NINE — INTO THE WOODS 🌲
If you go down to the woods today… you might find a witch.
From fairy tales whispered for generations to some of the most memorable witches on screen, the forest has long been one of the witch’s favourite places to hide. But why do we keep sending her there?
In Episode Nine of HEXPOSITION: Witches on Screen, we’re venturing beyond the safety of the village and into the woods to explore the relationship between witches, forests and the wild.
We’ll follow the witch through folklore, fairy tales, history and popular culture, looking at the forest as a place of fear and danger, but also freedom, knowledge and power. It is somewhere beyond the rules of ordinary society — exactly where storytellers have so often decided the witch belongs.
From the dark woods of the Brothers Grimm to the forests of The Witch, Into the Woods, Hansel & Gretel and beyond, we’ll explore what happens when our characters cross the treeline — and why audiences already know that something magical, dangerous or wonderfully witchy might be waiting on the other side.
Because perhaps the witch isn’t hiding in the forest at all.
Perhaps that’s simply where she is free.
✨ It’s time for Fact, Fiction or Folklore. ✨
And keep your eyes on the path… there’s another Hidden Hex hiding amongst the trees. 👀🌲
