Once upon a time, in a quaint little village, there lived a gentle witch named Maisie. Maisie was not like the other witches in the village. She had a kind heart and a warm smile that could light up the darkest room. While other witches used their powers for mischief, Maisie used hers for good. The villagers adored Maisie for her helpful nature. Whenever someone was in need, Maisie was always there to lend a hand.
“It’s very Jo March-coded,” Maisie says about ‘History of Man’. “You know, when she goes ‘oh, it’s so painful’. I can’t remember exactly what she says.”
But this song is about having the tiniest amount of wisdom and the tiniest amount of fortitude to know that whilst you could take it, you shouldn t it s about how awfully easy it is to sleepwalk into a life that shouldn t be yours. When I listen to this record I can t help thinking about the tweet format that recently made the rounds, pointing out that men need to take mushrooms, or go on a trip around the world in their twenties, or literally reach their deathbeds to have the same realisations that girls had alone in their bedrooms at 12 years old.
Whenever someone was in need, Maisie was always there to lend a hand. Whether it was healing a sick child or fixing a broken wagon, Maisie knew just what to do. Her potions were always effective, and her spells were always successful.

Maisie Peters’ new album The Good Witch explores the power and heartbreak that comes with taking “the very first Bambi steps into being a woman”.
There is something powerful and frightening about a heartbroken woman. I look back at my own heartbreaks over the years and the overwhelming feeling is not lethargy, but frenzy. I felt myself wrapped in a feeling of transformative rage – not really directed at anyone or anything, but white hot all the same.
Maisie Peters seems to understand this feeling.
Maisie's garden was a sight to behold. It was filled with vibrant flowers and fragrant herbs. She used these plants to create remedies and potions for those in need. Villagers often sought her out for advice on their ailments, and Maisie was always happy to help. She had a deep knowledge of the healing properties of plants and could cure even the most stubborn of illnesses. Despite her gentle nature, Maisie was always met with skepticism from some villagers. They couldn't understand how a witch could be so kind-hearted. They believed that all witches were wicked and only used their powers for mischief. However, Maisie never let their doubts bother her. She knew who she was and what she stood for - love, compassion, and kindness. One day, a great evil descended upon the village. A wicked sorcerer had cast a dark curse upon the village, and everyone was in despair. The villagers knew there was only one person who could save them - Maisie. They begged her to use her magic to break the curse and restore peace. Maisie accepted the challenge without hesitation. With her gentle touch and kind voice, she began to reverse the curse. She summoned all her magical powers and focused on bringing light back to the village. Slowly but surely, the curse started to fade, and a sense of hope filled the hearts of the villagers. When the curse was finally broken, the villagers rejoiced. They praised Maisie for her bravery and thanked her for saving their village. Maisie humbly accepted their gratitude and returned to her cottage in the woods. From that day forward, Maisie became a legend in the village. The villagers spoke of her kindness and bravery for generations to come. Maisie's gentle nature had not only saved the village but had also changed their perception of witches. The story of the gentle witch Maisie reminds us that kindness and compassion are the most powerful forces in the world. It shows us that we should never judge others based on stereotypes or preconceived notions. Maisie proved that even in a world filled with darkness, a single act of kindness can bring about a ray of light..

4. Jack - 2 stars - "The gentle witch Maisie" seemed like a promising read, but it failed to deliver. The story felt cliché and unoriginal, with predictable plot twists and a lack of originality in the magical elements. The writing itself was average, with nothing particularly striking about it.
