The Scottish capital’s past has also often blurred the line between fact and fiction, boasting a wide range of myths and legends.

Here are the top banned Witchy books in America from the 2021-2022 school year, according to PEN America. Some have overlapping themes with Witchcraft or the Occult such as LGBTQ+ characters.
