A semi-mystical immersion into wild wetland habitats: their myths, magic, and meaning
Encompassing nature writing, life writing, poetry, and magical memoir from a working-class woman’s perspective whilst drawing from history, science, mythology and folklore, Bog Witch is a lyrical, semi-mystical immersion into wild wetland areas.
From fens to peatlands, mires to marshes, swamps to lagoons, these diverse habitats are more than just mud, offering a richesse of flora and fauna, herbs and healing plants, as well as an unusual opportunity for our own inner healing and spiritual growth.
With a structure inspired by the chant of the three witches in Macbeth - which features a host of native wetland flora and fauna - Bog Witch will lead its readers into the gloam of these seemingly gloomy spots, enlightening them, endeavouring to entertain, explore, explain, and enrich.
Join poet Mab Jones on her journey into the wilds and learn how brightness and beauty, birdsong and brilliance, exist even in the darkest, most misunderstood places.
