Anyone into wych craft then?
Anyone into wych craft?
I'm not, but I'm interested in talking about it.
I bought this book last week called The Way of Wyrd, but I've not read it yet. To be honest I am not really a novel person, but sometimes when I force myself to read one I do actually enjoy it.
Anyway, I visited my grandmother today and I showed her this really interesting new book I am reading, what's it about she says...
Well.... It's a novel, kind of like Lord of the Rings, middle earth types stuff, wizards and magic. It's actually more interesting than LOTR because it is based on real historical accounts recently unearthed by this guy called Brian Bates, a professor in history. Some christian monks did some research into "things that went on" a few hundred years before them, during the time of the Anglo-Saxons, and it's about pagan wych doctors, runes and all that sort of shamanic tribal stuff. It's based on purtportedly actual events that were recorded by these monks a thousand years ago, and pieced together into a story whereupon the protagnoist is written from the perspective of a fictional christian monk really taking this journey for real and witnessing these events.
And this is how taken by it she was:
Oh no I don't want any of that witch craft! *quickly hands book back to me*
My gran, bless her soul, is a firm beleiver in the Xtian faith, and once told me she had an experience which led her to beleive in God, or the holy spirit or something, but she was reticent to divulge actually what happened as she though at the time I would mock it. One day you will see too maybe....
I'm kind of annoyed that she downplayed a part of my own spiritual beleifs, but well I don't hold it against her at all of course, she is 89 and I love her to bits, she makes me tea and scones when I go to visit.
