Excellent! Please do. I found these titles looking on the old HF.org site but I couldnt get all of them. There were two pages and for some reason I couldnt find page two.

Okay I combined the list of witch and pagan HF in one list. Maybe you or someone else can redirect some of these titles.
- The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley
- Daughters of the Shining Isle, Elizabeth Cunningham
- Passion of Mary Mags, (can't find author)
- Speaks the Nightbird, Roger McCammon
- Witch, Jennifer M. Wilson
- Gallows Wedding and Unicorn Summer, Rhona Martin
- The Witch of Cologne, Tobsha Learner
I'm not too familiar with books about witches, but there was a blurb in the WSJ today mentioning two that may be of interest: The Lace Reader, and another brand new one (sorry, the name escapes me). I do know it's written by a female author whose last name is Kent, and it's actually about one of her ancestors who was labeled a witch in the Salem trials. HTH.
oh, what is it about?

I absolutely love Mary Stewart's Arthurian novels, but it would never have occurred to me that they had witches in them. Hmmm. Granted, there are characters (including the protagonist of the first three novels) who have occult power. And come to think of it, Morgause is quite witchy in The Wicked Day.
So this brings up a question: What characteristics make a character a witch?

It's been awhile since I read them, too. Have to admit I don't remember.
