Gwen is an accomplished and respected witch, having been trained by Nesta. She is also a Boatwoman in the Guild of Navigators, and a Tree Surgeon in the Horticulturalists.

An extract from The Siblings of Hecate: Gender and Witchcraft

The liberalising efforts of Gwen verch Morcant were considerable, and considerably ahead of their time.
