The Prickly Pear Lady | A4 Print

Folklore-Inspired Digital Illustration · Printed on 100% Recycled Chiffon Matte Paper

Meet The Prickly Pear Lady - a witch, a healer, a forgotten goddess from the imagined folklore of Gozo.

Part of the first chapter in a new series exploring feminist folklore, this piece tells the story of a powerful woman who brewed tinctures from prickly pear fruit that healed every ailment. When the king’s daughter fell ill, no doctor could save her - except the so-called “witch” living in the hills.

Her medicine worked. The girl lived. But the king, threatened by a woman with greater power than he, burned her home and her magic to the ground.

In rage and mourning, she cursed the village of Munxar for 200 years - and is said to still dwell in the caves of Sanap.
