A photo of a book superimposed on a cropped, dimmed, and blurred image of itself to form a square frame. The book is "Wild Girls – The Path of the Young Goddess" by Patricia Monaghan. The cover illustration is a sketch of a woman in a toga - fastened with a brooch at her left shoulder. She's riding fast, on horseback. Her long hair trails behind her beneath an animal-skin cap with cat-like ears. A staff is visible behind her back, at an angle as if held by her unseen right hand - possibly a spear or another type of weapon. The color scheme is all neon colors, the brush-stroke title is bright yellow, drop-shadowed in blue fading to dark purple. The illustration field is orange fading to red. The top banner is pink with a row of lighter pink symbols, representing stars, moons, animals, and more. The subtitle is printed light blue below these symbols. The lower banner is purple with light-purple symbols and hosts the author name above in bright yellow.

A photo of a softcover book superimpised over a cropped, dimmed, and blurred image of itself, to provide a square frame. The book is "Witchcraft in Europe, 400-1700, A Documentary History, Second Edition," edited by Alan Charles Kors and Edward Peters, revised by Edward Peters. The cover art is a black and white illustration of a chaotic scene featuring naked witches, perhaps a sabbath.

A photo of a large format softcover book, "Wicked Enchantments – a history of the Pendle Witches & their magic" by Joyce Froome, is inserted into a cropped and dimmed image of itself to frame the image. The photographic cover depicts a woman in a robe, muddling with a large pestle and mortar, on a table covered with a red cloth. A black cat sits on the edge of the table sniffing at scraps of ingredients for the concoction. An emoji crown in the lower left corner of the frame is superimposed with the red circle and slash emoji.

A photo of a small personal in-home Halloween display. Spanning the back are 3 action figures on cards: Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow & Cosmic Angela from Spawn Comics, made by McFarlane Toys, with Sara Pezzini as Witchblade by Moore Action Collectibles. Seated in front of the figures are 8 small Universal Monsters plushies in two rows: across the back are Dracula, the Wolf Man, Frankenstein's monster, (who appears to be leaning pass gas on...) the Bride of Frankenstein, and the Phantom of the Opera; front row is the Mummy, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and a noticeable gap before the Creature from the Black Lagoon. In front of the plushies, laid flat, is a flat, green-felt bat silhouette with blue and white fabric wing inserts. All of this is staged on top of a large blue plastic storage tub.
