Many are drawn to Cornwall for its picturesque coves and maritime situations; not a few are seduced by the appeal of expressions of pagan witchcraft dressed in Cornish garb. But there is another Cornwall, less apparent and abiding: rooted in deeper time, familiarity with which requires patient dedication. Laetitia Latham-Jones’s journey from surface glamour to communion with the underlying forces of the land is ably told in this second volume of her journey, with all of its travails and triumphs, as she moves from being an outsider from ‘up country’ to making Cornwall her home. Along the way she provides insights into her practice as a wise-woman rooted in the local community, with sidelights on the spirit of place so potent in Cornwall.
