Paolo Coelho really is a soul-touching writer. I’ve read two of his other works and I am always touched. This one surprised me because the story is based on Celtic Wiccan practices. Somehow Coelho’s writing feels like teachings. The main character, Brida, learns about life, the past, the soul and the universe through becoming a witch. As she goes through that journey, us, the readers learn about all those things also.
Amazing. Even if you don’t believe in religion or these religious practices don’t shy away from this! Highly recommend.
