OK you literary pagan folk...maybe you can help me out here. Tell me if you know what this book is:

I used to have a book which was "fiction" but the pagan author claimed the entire thing was channeling her past life. I am not very good at history so I cannot tell you what time is was in but the story was about a girl in a witch family in the country, being brought up in a group of family and friends who are all witches, discovering sex (and mushrooms) with her best friend, falling in love with a bard who came through town, being eventually captured by the witch hunters and then brutally tortured before she was killed.

Does this jog your memory? It was a beautiful, passionate, desperately heart-filled and well-written book with a very cheesy romance novel type picture on the front.

It is driving me crazy that I cannot remember the author or the name of the book, but that is pretty typical for me.. I loaned or gave the book away and can't even remember who to.
