Three Magic Women, both prequel and sequel to Nell Grey’s magical novel, The Golden Web, begins with the story of Ellie’s maternal grandmother, newly married and living at the Old Priory. But things are not as they seem. She must struggle to overcome the damage caused by a love-starved childhood, and to reconcile her natural passion and the spiritual and imaginative side of her nature with the expectations of a husband much older than herself.

Part two is Ellie’s story. Confused and alone after years spent away from the world, what she needs above all else is a key to open the door to her lost past and help her rediscover balance, purpose and the magic that exists all around us. Then she finds her grandmother’s letters...

Nell Grey has woven a subtle magic of her own; echoes of The Golden Web and Edmund Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene call from the pages of Three Magic Women, and reality shifts like the sun’s rays through the trees as it crosses the sky above the hill beloved of both Ellie and her young and troubled yet-to-be grandmother.

From the Inside Flap

Ellie is a child to whom the spirits speak, and who possesses a mystical connection to the earth and an instinctive feeling for its magic and that of the gods and goddesses of our ancestors. Her parents, concerned for the health of her small brother, cannot begin to understand her; she seems to them almost alien, and when they catch her in an act of bloodless sacrifice to a beautiful marble statue in the garden beneath the light of the new moon she is sent away to boarding school.

This is the story of her quest to find some unbroken thread of belief from those ancient times, and a people with whom she feels at one, and to come to terms with the consequences of the practice of the Art Magick, and the implications of the Witches Law: 'An it harm none, Do what ye will.'
