Seasons of Magic Interviews - Cecelia Conway

1) What Wiccan Sabbat are you writing about and why were you drawn to it?

I wrote about Ostara. I was born on Mabon and I’ve always been fascinated by the dichotomies between the spring and fall solstice days.

2) Tell us about your story
​
I wanted to write a story that was a mix of pagan practices and an allegory for mental health struggles. I work in the mental health field and struggle with my own, and I’ve found that it’s helped so many others by just talking about it more. So what better way than through a story.

3) Did you learn anything interesting while researching your story?​

When I first started researching the town where my story is set, Hazard Kentucky, the first thing that popped up was a chicken house that’s their big tourist attraction. The other thing they’re famous for, being the home of Dukes of Hazard.

4) If you could cast a spell (and hopefully it didn't go wrong!) what spell would you cast?​

Right now I would love to have a spell to help me keep thoughts about work at work, and be able to focus on other things while I’m at home. I’m getting better at it, but it takes a lot of work and focus, and by the end of the day I’m usually exhausted.

5) What are you working on next?​

I’m just finishing up a Paranormal, Cozy, Small Town Romance about a Selkie and a Human.
