Realizing the Witch follows the unfolding of Benjamin Christensen's visual narrative in his 1922 film, H©xan (The Witch). Through a close reading of H©xan, Baxstrom and Meyers examine the study of witchcraft from historical and anthropological perspectives, as well as the intersection of popular culture, artistic expression and scientific ideas.
