Westerly Wind Brings Witches, A: A Cornish Odyssey | A Novel Evelyn Elsaesser 9781803414584

Moira Box, with not a lot going for her, legs it down to Cornwall to join a cantankerous coven of stroppy women. Shapeshifting poor Mogs back to The Burning Times, when women's role in the lingering rural folkways was disappearing from Merrie England. But today, wild women wrapped in cloaks pop up amongst the Cornish standing stones on a full moon basis! Wriggling out of the closet woodwork, giggling and garnished with glitzy-witchy fashion accessories, still stubbornly non-compliant and undoubtedly up to mischief... Witches and Wisewomen, reclaiming female spirituality, unearthing our buried pagan roots. An outside-the-box book, a feel-good tale, a pick-me-up for the perpetually put-down, a bag of comforts for the comfort eater. Sweep away the acceptable respectable and jump on your broomstick! Fly past perimeters, transcend our taken-for-granted reality and hang on tight for a bumpy ride!

About the Author
A Westerly Wind brings Witches is Sally Walker's long-in-the-making novel, writing from her own experiences as a Cornish witch, living in Pendeen - the most westerly windswept tip of England - a wild ancient land of moor and shore, where magic still lingers. Her passion is to unearth the lost voices of those who were silenced during The Burning Times, one of the darkest periods of history for women.
