This is the story of Brida, a young Irish girl, and her quest for knowledge. She has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom, who begin to teach Brida about the spiritual world. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her about overcoming her fears and trusting in the goodness of the world; and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world, and how to pray to the moon. As Brida seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch. This enthralling novel incorporates themes that fans of Paulo Coelho will recognize and treasure—it is a tale of love, passion, mystery, and spirituality from the master storyteller.

I tried for quite a while to get through this book. I loved a few parts that were about reliving your past lives. I have a hard time following the Wiccan aspects. I believe in some parts such as the spirit of the earth, but i struggle with the occult and tarot card reading parts. I was just either too uncomfortable with it or board with it so I gave up on maybe I'll try it again some other time
It's so different t read a book with 20 years apart... I still like it a bit, even if I thought it was way too romanticized (I mean, where's everybody's daily lives?)
