Kiley Mann, one of a long line of folk witches, brings a fresh poetic voice to the ancient practices of wortcunning, divination, spellcrafting and folklore. Her traditions lie deep in the swamp lands, forests and hills that surround her in her north American homeland. Intuitive and compelling, she explains her relationship with nature, the traditions that have been passed down to her from her mother and how she learnt about the land through her barefoot wanderings – the best way to connect and communicate with nature.  With chapters devoted to magical creatures, omens, herbs, spirit work, divination and folk remedies and spells you will learn both the traditions and the practical implementation and power of folk magic using the cycles of the moon, hag stones (stones with a hole running through them), crystals, herbs and more.  So, if you want to send a healing message to a friend in need, remove bad luck, protect your home or bring love, money or success into your life, then let THE WITCH OF THE WOODS be your essential grimoire.
