The apple has long been associated with love charms and spells. This poem is from my new collection Constructinga Witch. The spirits mentioned, I heard about in the Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle. #constructingawitch #spell @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social

Here's the piece I wrote for the PBS about my witch book. Which is actually part of a trilogy I didn't know I was writing! #constructingawitch @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social

Wonderful to read the PBS review of my witch book! #witch #constructingawitch @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social

A poem from my new @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social collection Constructing a Witch. The quote from the Malleus would make you laugh if it wasn't a held position of people in power. This was the witchfinding manual. It's been adhered to and ridiculed in measures. #constructingawitch #witch #feministpoem

Another collage/poem from my collection Constructing a Witch.(Bloodaxe Books) There are poem poems, prose poems and 10 of these collages in the book. I like a bit of mixed media! #constructingawitch #collagepoem #feminism #feministwitch #bloodaxebooks

Here's one of the ten collage/poems from my new @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social collection Constructing a Witch. The text was found in an old foxed fairytale book. #constructingawitch #collagepoem Link to book here if tempted! www.amazon.co.uk/Constructing...
