Book one in the Eight Paths of Magic Series, this book is about walking the talk. The Hearth Witch sees the sacred within the physical, the magical in the mundane, and uses this knowledge to incorporate spiritual practice into her everyday life. The Hearth Witch of today inherits the mantle of the village wise woman or cunning man. Hers are the Old Ways of the countryside, once passed down from mother to daughter, father to son, crone to apprentice. Herbs have always been part of the wise woman s armoury. A girl was initiated into the secrets of these family formulas by her mother, along with her knowledge of folklore, stories, healing potions, brewing and wine making, fortune telling and cookery know-how. Discover these secrets and the magic of the cunning woman in Hearth Witch.

Recensione:
A surprising amount is packed into this volume - including the history, mythology, and folklore of the hearth witch. But mostly the book concerns the practical magic of the hearth. There are few spells here. Instead, there are recipes for seasonal dishes (all vegetarian), for incenses and dyes, for traditional natural toiletries and cleaning products. And there is advice on raising plants, storing and preserving produce, the uses of different woods, and candle making. Only a few generations ago, such knowledge was the inheritance of every woman. The traditional wise woman was also a master of the healing arts, and over a quarter of this book is devoted to wort cunning (or knowledge of herbs to use the more familiar Latinate words). The numerous ways of preparing herbs are explained, and a lengthy directory describes the uses of many common herbs. Necessarily this is only an introduction to the vast subject of herb lore, and the bibliography contains pointers to more in-depth studies (including Anna Franklin s own tome Herb Craft). All in all, this is an excellent source book for all 21st Century pagans, which I for one will be referring to time and again. --Libra Aries
