Naked Witches!


Every once in a while, just when I think Facebook is nothing but a depressing time-suck, someone will link to something like this article about the origins of certain witchy notions that we take for granted. It's a jaunty, risque look at the unsuspected foundations of a pop-culture cliche, but even if the article didn't have plenty to intrigue, it's worth clicking through for the pictures alone, like this one by Luis Ricardo Falero from 1878:

Jeepers! Where were these ladies when they were making "The Wizard of Oz"?
