Craft earned her the respect and admiration of many around the world.
Raised in rural Alabama, in the southern Appalachians, Cora came from
a family tradition of folk magic and healing. She received a two-year

She held a ministerial certificate from the Covenant of the

Praise
for Cora Anderson
"Visiting Victor and Cora meant
stepping into a magical realm hidden behind the facade of an ordinary
suburban house. Victor would sit in his rocking chair; I'd ask
questions, and he would roam the galaxies in his answers. Cora would
chime in with warmth, wisdom and common sense. And then we might go do
magic..."
--Starhawk, author
of The
Spiral Dance
