Anna Franklin has been a witch for thirty years, and a Pagan in her heart for all her life. She has conducted many rituals, handfastings, and sabbat rites. She is the High Priestess of the Hearth of Arianrhod, a coven of the Coranieid Clan, a group of traditional Witches with their roots in the New Forest, and branches in several parts of the UK. She is the author of eighteen books on the Craft, including Midsummer, Lammas (with Paul Mason), and The Fairy Ring. Paul Mason was a Pagan artist, photographer, and illustrator best known for his stunning photomontage images and book jacket designs. He has worked previously with Franklin as the co-author of Lammas.
