Starling offers a new, fresh, and authentic voice that expresses the timeless magic of her native Wales. In doing so she gifts the world with a cauldron of wisdom and a profound insight into the magical heritage and landscape of Wales. This is a book created from deep, personal practise and the love of land and culture. This book is a journey that takes you through centuries of Welsh magical history and practises and contains ancient songs, charms and incantations that carry the voices of the ancestors. Alongside the ancient, Starling shares her own Welsh verse and prose that reflect the depth of her practise as a Swynwraig. This book bridges the gap between the ancient and modern and brings authentic, practical Welsh Witchcraft to the table of modern magical traditions.

It is a book fully capable of guiding the reader towards developing a workable and personal magical practice drawn from and inspired by the timeless and eldritch landscapes of Wales."--Gemma Gary, author of Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways "Mhara Starling presents a modern approach to a magical practice that is rooted in the mythology, folklore, and cultural traditions of Wales. This is a gift of a book; both well-researched and magically sound, it is also a love letter to the land, history, and spirit of Wales...With a commitment to well-sourced legends and long-standing tradition, Welsh Witchcraft bridges the gap between static collections of folklore and modern-day seekers hungry for authentic, relevant, and culturally alive magical practices. Highly recommended!"--Jhenah Telyndru, MA, founder of the Sisterhood of Avalon and author of Avalon Within "Mhara Starling has written a beautiful, authentic guide to Welsh Witchcraft...Written by a Welsh Witch from a first-hand perspective, this is a valuable volume for readers that study both a Celtic or Traditional Witchcraft Path.

Highly recommended."--Morgan Daimler, author of Fairies: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk "Mhara Starling breathes life into the long, magical history of Wales so many of us think we already know.

Welsh Witchcraftis utterly overflowing with Starling's passion and personal connection to the material...Mhara Starling is an absolute gift to the community and I'm thrilled future generations will have her as a guide."--Fire Lyte, author ofThe Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft andhost of the Inciting A Riotpodcast "An intimate yet engaging exploration into the magic and lore of Wales from a homegrown perspective.
