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 way of the Hearth Witch is an uncomplicated, direct form of magic, deceptively simple and unspeakably profound. A Hearth Witch is drawn to the traditional ways, the rhythms of nature and the call of the wildwoods. 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.
