Cait Johnson - Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging

Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging is a wise and playful guide to aging with a sense of magic and spirit, presided over by four loving, feisty old witches, one for each season: Root Witch in her cave by the roots, Winged Witch in her treehouse, Merwitch by the seaside bonfire, and Kitchen Witch in her river cottage. Every season is filled with wild wisdom, rich with simple formulas and recipes, inspiring rituals, playful activities, fun quizzes, meaningful meditations, and much, much more, empowering women to embrace their elder years with curiosity and verve. Our culture is finally realizing that older women are a force for positive change. Now, Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging offers a cornucopia of ways to embrace and celebrate this challenging but ultimately liberating time. Cait Johnson is the author of seven books honoring the seasons and the connections that underlie all life. Now that she’s over 60, aging is on her mind. Her latest book seeks to infuse the aging process with a sense of magic and is part of a movement to transform our culture’s ideas about older women. Cait’s work combines earth-based sensibility, a shamanic worldview, and appreciation of ancient wisdom with poetry and a love for food, celebrating the sacredness in every day. She holds an MFA in theatre design, is certified by the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sofia University), studied with shamanic practitioner Tom Cowan, and is a member emeritus of the Black Earth Institute, a progressive think tank dedicated to the integration of arts, environment, spirit, and social justice. Before the pandemic, she wrote, directed, and performed in collaborative shamanic theatre pieces that explored transformation of consciousness through ritual, song, movement, and the spoken word.
