“The earth does not forget those who whispered kindly to her…”
Centuries ago, nestled deep within Hollowmoor Wood, there lived a woman named Lysbeth Thorne—an herbologist, healer, and gentle spellweaver.
She called herself a servant of the soil, the seasons, and the silent.
They called her a witch.
They mistook her kindness, her power to heal, her herbal medicines and pure heart - for evil, black magic, voodoo.
For what they could not understand, they feared.
She was burned, her name buried, her truth forgotten..
But the underlying truth was that, her powers and abilities went far beyond what she would allow them to see.
She spoke to the animals, or rather, they spoke to her… or through her, something you will come to understand in her letters. She coaxed rain from cloudless skies. She received coded messages from the earth through the plants. She penned spells made with intention and wildflower ink. But you will also come to learn, everything she did or was capable of doing was all for a much bigger purpose.
The Willow Box has been found. Buried beneath the roots of an ancient elder tree - where the soil still sings in whispers - a sealed box has been uncovered. Wrapped in linen, bound with dried vine, and marked only by the sigil of the moon. It contains what should never have survived.
The private letters and writings of Lysbeth Thorne.
12 beautifully aged letters. Penned as though she were writing to someone she knew. It contained many other fragments of sketched symbols, spells, recipes and incantations. Ripped pages with hand-written messages torn from her journal. Every detail she kept hidden because she knew she was being watched and her secrets were far too heavy for anyone of her time to understand.
