Hedge Witch

Hedwitchery or Hedgecraft is a combination of Witchery and Shamanism ("What is a Hedge Witch?" and also in here).

The divinatory arts and prophecy were very much associated to Norse Deity Frigga, so that I soon searched for some more paintings by JW Waterhouse which I knew depicted that same idea:

Destiny by John William Waterhouse, 1900


Se sabe que Frigga hilaba en su telar el destino del mundo durante el invierno.. (antes de su regreso en primavera, Freya, pues ambas son representaciones de la misma diosa vánica).
