AISHA KANDISHA – Head Li-Bury-An, Curator, Blogger, Temptress of Tomes.
Aisha Kandisha is a name that has a pleasant lilt to it, however, in the midst of the sweeping sands of the North African desert, it is a name that many dread to utter. In Morocco, she appears to men a a beautiful temptress; a demon or djinn, winged and with the hoofed feet of a goat. In Southeast Asia, she is known as the Pontianak or Kuntilanak, while in the Western world, she is called a Succubus. Despite her sinister reputation, she also represents the fearlessness of womankind.
