Part of the 'Luminaries, Women of the Goldfields' series

While researching stories of women in the goldrush era of Australia, I couldn't help but wonder if there were any strong folklore practices that arrived with them. I imagined women gathering in secret to bless the Earth and discard the shackles of their Victorian era lives. This beautiful coven is represented by true friends, whom I was blessed to witness in their unity. Little direction was needed by me as they channelled the power of the feminine spirit. This brings to life my imaginings of 'bush witches', as well as the strong friendships immigrant women developed with each other.
