Didn’t know what to expect with this book! Enjoyed trying to figure out how these three timelines of women intermingled (1619, 1940s, & 2019). The author clearly did a lot of research for these time periods. It all came together very well.

Help. This book has done things to me, to my psyche. It’s incredible.

Maybe it has to do with the fact I’ve recently read a few others with witches, or the complex relationship I have with my own mother (who doesn’t?), or the fact that I’m an eldest daughter, or the fact my period came while reading it. I DON’T KNOW.

All i know is that I spent almost every free moment I had reading this from the moment I began. I tore through it in two days. It’s beautiful, complex, reflective - a true, raw description of the divine feminine free of pretension. I will proselytize this book to the women I love as best I can.

Weyward is not only to be read, it is to be considered, digested, inhaled.
