"Sarah Robinson skillfully guides readers into the dark and enchanted forest, following the scary trails of fairy tales and ancient myths, discovering fairies and monsters, antlered gods and green men, and finding witches, the wise and untamed women whose holy, healing magic will transform you into the magical being you are meant to be."
--Phyllis Curott, witch, Spells for Living Well, The Witches' Wisdom Tarot, Book of Shadows "This charming book takes the reader's hand and leads them to the wild, where possibilities lurk. Perfect for the adventurer or the fireside voyager."
--Alice Tarbuck, author of A Spell in the Wild "This book is a work of both liberation and of reclamation. A powerful journey into story and power, myth and magic, earth and sky, memory and change, land and courage, enchantment and discovery."
--Molly Remer, author of Womanrunes, Walking with Persephone, and 365 Days of Goddess, creatrix of the #30DaysofGoddess devotional practice "Sarah takes your hand and leads you deep into the dark wildness of the forest. There she introduces the otherworldly creatures who dwell in those wild and secret spaces, including goddesses, gods, wildalones, green men, and--of course--witches!
The inclusion of lesser-known folktales and lore from the British Isles and Northern Europe is magic, and makes The Witch and the Wildwood a fun and engaging frolic through those shadowy spaces others try to avoid."
