About this title

About the Author

Willow Polson is a born-and-raised Californian, and has been a self-initiated Witch since the age of 13. She has enjoyed writing and fiddling with all manner of arts and crafts since she was a little girl, especially embroidery and candle making. Her major at San Francisco State University was art, with emphasis in ethnic arts. She has studied anthropology as well since the age of eight. Other interests include fiber arts (including traditional California Indian style baskets as taught to her by Pomo weaver Julia Parker), living history, organic gardening, vegetarian cooking, and working on her mountain homestead near Yosemite National Park.

Willow is one of the co-creators of Veggie Life magazine, and has been on the staff of other internationally popular magazines, including Needlepoint Plus, Tole World, and Popular Woodworking. She is currently a member of several needlearts and Pagan rights organizations, and is a supporter of The Witches' Voice.

The Polson family's long-term goal is to build a castle, complete with courtyard, great hall, portcullis, and secret passages.
