Summary

Born in a storm and cackling instead of crying, Mother Shipton wasn’t your average baby—she was England’s most powerful witch and prophetess. From dark rumors about her mysterious birth in a Yorkshire cave to a lifetime of magic and prophecy, her story has haunted England for centuries. But Ursula Southeil, known as Mother Shipton, wasn’t all devilish rumors—she was a healer, a wise woman, and a witch who used her gifts to help the very people who once feared her. She predicted storms, cured the sick, and foresaw moments in history no one could have imagined—from the rise of cars and planes to the end of the world itself.
