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.
