The Wild Wool Shepherdess: Weave the Ancient Path, Reignite Your Feminine Fire

by Elizabeth Kneafsey

Reconnect to the wisdom of the land, animals and the moon, and be inspired to find your power and freedom in this poetic memoir.

Do you long to be amongst nature, in the wild, remote, untouched places, where the moon nears full, and the energy is visible and present? Do you feel as if you don’t really belong, and that there is something missing in your life?

Full of incredible and transformative stories of a life with her flock, and wolf companion, ancient craft techniques, animal messengers, sacred places and Indigenous wisdom, Elizabeth Iekawehatie Kneafsey tells the story of how she found her place in the world, and how you can find your unique path, too.

From her childhood in a Nottinghamshire pit village, to creating a new life in harmony with nature and rediscovering the wild woman within, this book will show you that it is possible to live a different way – one where you are deeply connected to the earth, animals, and your powerful feminine wisdom.

Heartfelt, soulful, and raw. I laughed, I cried, I learned a lot. This book is for all the wild women out there who feel out of place in a modern society that has lost its way. It is for those who feel we need to go back to our roots, to our old ways, and Elizabeth shines a light on the path that starts that journey. I have placed markers throughout this book for future reference, including ceremonies, sheep worming, questing and making natural tonics.

A must read for wild women everywhere who feel the need to return to our natural roots.

I think this to be one of the most inspirational books I've read lately.
Reading and recognising the feelings and experiences around Somerset's sacred landscapes as well as all the practical info as Elizabeth's view on spirituality highly resonates.
Many of her beautifully written thoughts and ideas resonate, and I feel called into action in a very positive way.
As a matter of fact, I took a hard decision today, and I look forward to venturing into the darkness to find the treasure of truth there.
I have markers through the whole book, for the practical info and ceremonies, for reminders, books and passages I know I will want to go back to.

I am giving this book 5 stars for the author. I love Elizabeth's work and her mission in our world. I'm glad she shared her stories and a glimpse of her magic. I'm giving 1 star to Hay House for failing yet another author! Elizabeth's words have so much potential and it is clear that Hay House gave her zero editing support. A few years back I vowed to never read another Hay House/Balboa book because of how they treat their authors and in doing so, disrespecting readers. Seeing what they did/did not do for Elizabeth confirms my choice.

One of the best books I have read for us women with wild souls + hearts. I was pleasantly surprised with some unexpected recipes/how to’s along the way! I could not read this book fast enough. This was a soul-filling read. Beautifully done. ❤️✨
