About the author

After years in London editing consumer magazines, I decamped to the country to write books, manage a smallholding and create a magical garden. That’s going pretty well, although keeping sheep has proved trickier than I’d imagined. Chickens are easier. Anyway, I have kept to my intention and written a few books since I got here.

Next up are the first three titles in the Little Wild Library foraging series (Dandelion, Nettle, Clover), which will be published on 18 March 2025 (Verbena). These were much fun to write and I spent much time upended in hedgerows and preserving and brewing in the kitchen.

They will be followed sharply by 'The Water Remedy: folklore, ritual and wisdom', which is published on 25 April (Calon). This is a practical, mystical, mythological, geographical and poetic book which aims to make the reader appreciate, value and enjoy this vital, life-giving element.

The Witch’s Shadow Work Oracle Deck (Watkins), 40 cards with an accompanying booklet packed with myths, magic and legends to help you explore your shadow self, follows in June.

[Juli Anna · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very basic and full of factual errors. Disappointing.

This is a beautifully made and put together book! Very aesthetically pleasing and great for someone who's just getting to grips with the wheel of the year. I noticed a few things I wasn't so keen on though, like using the term 'Smudge' when you mean 'smoke cleanse' (often considered disrespectful, as Smudging is specifically Native American) and the instruction to cleanse crystals in warm soapy water, which is contradictory to what I've read in many other sources as this can damage the crystal, and cleansing usually refers to energy cleansing not physical cleaning. It's also worth bearing in mind that witchcraft is intuitive and open to interpretation, and stems really from a respect and gratitude for nature, so what is written in this beautiful book isn't necessarily what has to work for you. That being said, I appreciate the time and effort and research that was clearly put into this lovely book, and I very much enjoy seeing it on my witchy-themed shelf.

Great reference.

Excellent reference, and usable year after year, unlike most of the yearly pagan planners. This reads like a Farmers Almanac, but for pagans.

I really liked this book. It was digestible and aesthetically pleasing and also a fairly short read. I like that it's straight to the point and also offers insights, practices, and crafts.
