I stand where perhaps Ellen stood, in this ground thick with new thistle and long grass. She would have kenned this coast in all weathers: in the summer when it was as gentle as a lake and in the winter, with the high winds and stinging salt spray.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Ashes and Stones we visit modern memorials and standing stones, and roam among forests and hedge mazes, folklore and political fantasies. From fairy hills to forgotten caves, we explore a spellbound landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllyson Shaw untangles the myth of witchcraft and gives voice to those erased by it. Her elegant and lucid prose weaves together threads of history and feminist reclamation to create a vibrant memorial. This is the untold story of the witches' monuments of Scotland and the women's lives they mark. Ashes and Stones is a trove of folklore linking the lives of contemporary women to the horrors of the past, a record of resilience and a call to choose and remember our ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Outpost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46563672850618,"sku":"9781639365296","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ufmllc.online\/products\/ashes-and-stones-a-journey-through-scotland-in-search-of-women-hunted-as-witches-1","provider":"Unique Finds Market LLC ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
