Wood Witch Willma

Wood Witch Willma

Folksburywoods has many unusual folks, but the one that takes top honors is Wood Witch Willma.

Willma is a hedge witch known for her tonics, tinctures, and elixirs to cure what ails you. While they may cure you, they habitually give you a hangover in the morning.

Folks say that if Franny or Ursala, the wise woman, can’t fix your problem, sneak to Willma’s and get a quick fix, but be prepared to pay the price.

Adriel, the fae dragon, helps the witch by obtaining powders and roots from the other folk, and in return, Willma supplies the good neighbors with a selection of drinks for their evening festivities.

Once in a blue moon, the hedge witch joins in on the merry-making, which suits the queen just fine.

If you’re feeling blue or unable to kick that cold, why not slip over to Willma’s place, cross her palm with a few silvers, and take home a cure for what ails you?
