In many ways the Hedgewitch was the 'true' witch, in my opinion. It's about time we had a good book that focused on that wise one." --Raymond Buckland, author of Buckland's Book of Gypsy Magic-- "Reviews""Mandy Mitchell manages with ease a rare combination of humor, truth, insight, and usable information about living as witch. Her path is witchcraft as kitchen magic--things that anyone can do while being a parent and running a home.
