Wild Women - Hodgkinson, Moira

. .

Résumé :
Wild Women - Modern tale of ordinary women who are witches With a gran like Magda, village wise-woman and certified crone, life was never going to be easy for Sal Howard. When her estranged mother, Jasmine, turns up on the doorstep to escape an abusive relationship, there's trouble on the cards. Sal comforts her mother with hugs and sympathy and Magda makes tea with soothing herbs - but it's Jasmine who finds herself in the midnight garden, weaving spells under the silver moon. But this is real magic and real magic doesn't always work out the way you want it to ... Pagan fiction is a niche that has yet to become mainstream. Harry Potter and many fantasy books are very close to pagan concepts, but they are explicitly not real. What of fiction based on the real pagan community of today? There is plenty of scope, dramas, feuds, inspirational stories, but no one has attempted to capture that until now. This book is different, it seems real, something you can relate to. Still very magical and pagan but no unbelievable magic, no Hollywood effects or Hammer Horror demons, this was something new. It is a story about three ordinary women with very different personalities who are three generations of the same family with a witchy background. There are no flying broomsticks, although there is the conventional variety. The charm is the story of real pagans struggling with their lives and yes doing rituals and spells, but ones we would all recognise.
