13th October 2026

Discover the wonders of the natural world with The Ancient Ways, a seasonal guide from hedgewitch Seren Hawley-Plows, which uses myths, folklore and old rituals to help you reconnect with nature.

** There will even be a demo of how to create a herbal ritual bag. **

A FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT

Tales of gods and goddesses told around a crackling fire. The light of the rising sun streaming through an ancient site on a solstice morning. Hot cider poured over the roots of apple tress to wake then for the Spring.

The Ancient Ways is an empowering guide to reconnecting with the natural world in order to live a happier and more purposeful life.

The event will include a book signing.

About the Book

This stunning book will deepen your connection with nature through mythology and folklore ancient traditions based on the land and the seasons.

Hedgewitch Seren Hawley-Plows explores how, in the past, humans’ lives centered around the rhythms of the natural world and how this can help you lead a more connected and fulfilled life.

The Ancient Ways is structured around the seasons and pagan festivals, exploring the history of equinoxes and how they are celebrated, how to rewild yourself through knowledge of plants and nature and how to benefit from these ancient traditions in a modern world.

Whether you live in the countryside or a bustling city, The Ancient Ways provides a slice of calm, belonging and connection – the perfect gift for yourself or others.

About Seren

Seren Hawley-Plows is a second generation new-age traveller who was raised as a hedgewitch, with a deep connection and love for the natural world. She was taught herbalism and ancient practices from an early age by her parents and their community, and spent much of her youth travelling around festivals, full moon gatherings, and attending ceremonies at sacred sites.

She is now on a mission to reconnect people with the natural world, by demonstrating how using ancient practices and discovering forgotten knowledge can be beneficial on a journey to re-establishing our relationship to the land.
