The Witches of Salt Lane

Beneath the mist-laced skies of 14th-century Worcester, where the city’s breath gave way to the marshy hush of Salt Lane, two women stood between the known and the numinous. They were healers, seers, feared and revered, straddling the line between salvation and sorcery. As plague crept closer and tempers ran hot with ignorance and dread, the witches of Salt Lane, Mother Agnes and Mother Elspeth, wielded their quiet power in defiance of a world unravelling. Their tale is carved in mud and memory, in whispers and warnings, where even now, some say the road remembers.
