She died at the stake forgiving those who betrayed her.


Young Catriona, a beautiful and kind Wiccan healer with an uncanny knowledge of natural and herbal remedies, is trusted and beloved by all in her small Scottish village. As her power grows, a jealous witch hunter begins to spread hate-fueled lies. He paints Catriona as an evil sorcerer. As fear takes hold, the people Catriona once trusted and cared for now accuse her of being a Spellweaver and call for her to be burned at the stake. Told from five different perspectives, this mesmerizing narrative shows the disastrous consequences that occur when compassion is trumped by human fear and deception.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Multiple-book-award-winning, bestselling author Ann Crawford believes in love at first sight, that good always prevails, and that we're here for those wildwonderfulwayoutthere visions of ours to come alive.

Ann has lived "Oh, all over." She went from one shining sea to the other, then to the prairie, then to the mountain, just to combine, rock and reverse a couple of our patriotic songs here. Right now there's a view of several of Colorado's purple mountain majesties out the window. When she's not circumnavigating the globe (70 countries/territories and counting, plus all 50 states), communing with sea critters on the ocean floor (in her scuba gear), or climbing every mountain (on the back of her husband's motorcycle), or performing improv or standup comedy, you can find her writing.

Ann is the author of the award-winning comedies FRESH OFF THE STARSHIP and ANGELS ON OVERTIME, women's fiction LIFE IN THE HOLLYWOOD LANE, mystical SPELLWEAVER (about a woman during the witch hunts in Scotland), the deep MARY'S MESSAGE (about Mary Magdalene), and reach-for-the-stars VISIONING. Ann's life-affirming books weave tales of love and intrigue that take readers on mystical journeys with characters who live radiant lives.

Ann is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, too. Her first movie was about a group of vets returning to Viet Nam to perform humanitarian work, give something back to the people, return to their Areas of Operation, and heal their wounds of war. Her second movie involved traveling around the world and interviewing people from all walks of life—heads of state, street kids, academics, artists....the folks of this world—on how they envisioned creating world peace. The website for this movie won numerous awards. Ann is also an award-winning humanitarian.

Ann would be delighted to speak or do a book reading for your group or book club. Please contact her through her website, anncrawford.net.

3.0 out of 5 stars A spiritual story of love and loss
Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2024
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed the spiritual side of Catriona's character. As a healer she saw the good in people and even had sympathy for the witch hunter who became what he was due to his own dark past. Through Catriona we are able to see through the veils of different planes and catch glimpses of what I assume to be Heaven.

The narration is divided into four points of view of those who knew Catriona and all of whom felt responsible for her death. It wasn't until the end of the book that the reader finds out who each narrator was but by then I didn't want to go back and re-read the excerpts. I would have preferred knowing whose point of view I was reading as I was doing so to get a better understanding of the narrators relationship with Catriona and their motivations.

I enjoyed reading 'Spellweaver' but a few tweaks to the writing would have taken it to a whole new level.

This is a book that will make you want to live life intensely. It's beautiful and yet so tragic. It made me want to taste the joy, and color, and texture of every minute of beautiful solitude I'm able to carve out of my mundane existence. I LOVE her writing style, and multi-perspectives from the character she creates. It's a thoughtful book. It's a delight!
I highly recommend it for anyone who's spiritually hungry. It will feed you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Writing - History Class is Down the Hall on the Right
Reviewed in the United States on 1 February 2024

"Spellweaver" by Ann Crawford is a journey into the life of Catriona, a witch and healer in the 16th century, before her tragic end at the hands of witch hunters. The book masterfully blends historical elements with spiritual and metaphysical themes, crafting a unique narrative that challenges societal norms and explores the human experience.

Crawford's storytelling is both poetic and evocative, giving readers a vivid world where love, bravery, and the quest for understanding rule their lives. While the book may not satisfy those seeking action-packed sequences and rapid dialogue, its descriptive prose and introspective musings create a captivating page-turner that keeps readers engaged.

The heart of the story lies in Catriona's impact on those around her, forcing them to confront their morality and the fine line between love and fear. The character of Catriona is beautifully portrayed through the perspectives of different narrators, shedding light on the power of human connection and the consequences of envy and misunderstanding.

"Spellweaver" isn't your typical historical or fantasy novel; it leans more towards a metaphysical exploration of life and love. Crawford's writing is clear and at times poetic, particularly when conveying the spiritual aspects of love. The book may not be historically accurate, but it excels in delivering a powerful message about the human condition. Every author is entitled to creative license, even with history.

While some may be thrown off by the subtitle's promise of history and fantasy, "Spellweaver" deserves five stars for what it truly is—a thought-provoking, emotionally charged narrative that challenges perceptions and invites readers to connect with the world around them. Ann Crawford's storytelling prowess leaves a lasting impression, making her an author worth following.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tactile writing; I give five stars for the writing & immersive storytelling.

"Spellweaver" is an engaging, engrossing fantasy story set within real world Scotland, and touching on historical events. The writing is superb and tactile, with wonderful descriptions and characters. I give five stars for the writing & immersive storytelling.

As a Christ-follower myself, this book reveals how religion can become a battering ram that differs from the words and love of Christ Himself. I'm quite sure that He would never condone burning anyone at a stake. Christ Himself forgave His enemies, and we are not called upon as His followers to do anything that He Himself would not do to others, even enemies of God. Of course, Christendom has at times become political and power-hungry, living completely alien to Christ's commands & example & Spirit.. I do not agree with the religion of Wiccans, but I know all of us are on a journey. Personally, I hope all of us will eventually discover the love of Christ & His redemption that is available to all.

The story was set in Scotland in 1597 when a witch hunt was carried out through Europe. A tale of a woman beloved by everyone in a small village was told by five people who said that they were the ones who killed her. It was very spiritual, very emotional.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poetic writing hindered by some imbalance.
Reviewed in the United States on 23 December 2023
Verified Purchase
What I loved about this book is the evocative and often etherical description that poetic and magical. What I dislike is there are some jarring and confusing transitions between perspectives that could have been handled better, not a good balance between exposition and action or dialogue, and I feel like I'm being told too much what Catriona is like rather than being shown. Despite this the read remains enjoyable and it's shorter word count is a boon.
