  3. Twofer: Isobel, a Witch’s Life & Love and Other Hard Truths


Isobel: A Witch's LIfe. Days prior to departing for a long-since planned Uk tour with their partner, Swann discovers that they lived a past life as a witch in Scotland. What’s more, their witch-life ended horrifically and unjustly. Unable to skirt the trip, Swann and their partner set out as planned. Swann is terrified of what they might discover about themselves and who they might be when–and if–they return. Swann does meet the spirit of their past life as a witch, ISOBEL. ISOBEL tells about her life worth living, in 1619, her tragic ending, and how she has changed over the last 400 years.
