The Young Witches

The Young Witches tells the story of young Lillian Cunningham and her life as part of a secret order of witches. Lillian’s mother died giving birth to Lillian. Her father, shamed by the mature birth of the child, when he had met and married the mother only seven months before, took his own life. This left young Lillian in the care of strange aunts who were secretly members of the Cult of Ishtar.

When she had reached a proper age, Lillian was placed in “the Institute” where she was indoctrinated with the female-dominant teachings of the Cult of Ishtar. She was also taught to use her latent mental powers—her “talent.” Ultimately, the Cult hoped to make her one of their own, for Lillian showed great potential for power. However, she also showed a stubborn streak which rejected the Cult’s view that men were unworthy of anything except contempt.
