Witches of the British Isles - Special Edition

They were healers, herbalists, midwives, and outcasts. They were women who knew too much, or lived alone, or refused to be quiet. History called them witches. The trials called them guilty. The moors, the stone circles, and the old forests remembered them differently.This book moves through the British Isles as they were - and as they still are in the places where the old stories refuse to leave. From the Celtic magic of the highlands to the courtrooms of the great witch trials, from the cursed bogs of Ireland to the sacred geometry of Stonehenge, each chapter follows a legend that survived because it was too powerful to die.These are not fairy tales. They are records - of fear, of power, of what happens when a society decides that certain women are dangerous. And of the women who were.Sixteen stories. Centuries of silence. One book that gives them back their names.
