- Book Synopsis
- Gwrachod Cymru Welsh Witches is an illustrated and categorised guide to the witches of Wales. Drawing on her extensive research, Efa Lois gathers witches from Welsh folklore, history and popular and contemporary culture and brings their stories vividly to life with her vibrant illustrations. Professional folklorist Juliette Wood explores the context around the history of witches in Wales, common themes in their stories, and what this tells us about Welsh women and attitudes towards them through time.
- About The Author
- Efa Lois is a Welsh artist and writer. Her work searches the depths of Welsh folklore, folk customs, language and culture. Originally from Aberystwyth and fluent in both Welsh and English, the Welsh landscape - linguistic, cultural and physical - has shaped and informed her work. She is interested in cultural identity, women's stories, and "llawr gwlad" folklore, and what these tell us about the Wales of the past. In 2019, Efa began her Welsh Witches project, which has since documented over 90 witches from Welsh folklore - the strange, the magnificent, and the forgotten. Her first book Gwrachod Cymru Welsh Witches is the fruit of that labour.
