Description
'Magdalene Book of Shadows. Each of of you must write one, a summary of your learning, to teach those who will come after.' It’s how our knowledge gets passed down. So now I'm writing mine, since there’s one born to pass it on to. She’s early. I know because I’m still alive. Better get writing. Before the age we’re in clangs its gates closed and the next one is upon us. It won't be long now. Among women and their lovers, 'Witch' and 'Goddess' are spoken aloud again and any roadmap is better than none.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
