Collection: April: The Midwife

In April 2025, subscribers met the Midwife.

The Midwife’s work changes with the seasons. In the winter, she keeps bedside vigils for those moving through fevers. In the spring, she assists with births. Her work is to aid those who are transiting between worlds, or embarking upon rites of passage, or enduring painful transformations. She aims to prevent and ease discomfort. When pain can’t be removed, she helps translate its thumping, opaque code into something meaningful.

She dabs the wingtips of the young Crows with quickened oil before their first journeys. Thus prepared, they can rise to the challenge of long, windy flights between worlds.  

The Midwife Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.
