The Trollwife's Tear
by D.J. Conway
"The Trollwife's Tear" was originally found by searching for pagan children's stories, and found on
www.ladybridget.com. The story itself was originally published September 1st 2005 by Crossing Press (first published August 1st 2005) in a book called "The Ancient Art of Faery Magick," by D.J. Conway, which explores the different types of Fae, including guided meditations and rituals. However, the story seems to be one out of a series of tales about a Wiccan-raised girl named Beth. The audio was selected and included as a segment in Kakophonos Internet Radio's 2012 Hallowe'en Special.
The text of a slightly different version of the story can be read at
