Andrews established himself in Inkpen, where he gained a reputation as an eccentric yet skilled practitioner. People from far and wide sought his remedies for ailments both physical and mental, and his treatments were said to possess a remarkable potency.

The Daughters of the Dragon

Around 1840, Andrews encountered a group of young women who would forever alter the course of his life. They were known as the "Daughters of the Dragon," a secret society of healers and mystics who believed in the ancient power of herbal remedies and spiritual practices.

Intrigued by their knowledge and beliefs, Andrews became a mentor to the Daughters of the Dragon. Together, they explored the realms of herbal medicine, astrology, and divination. The Daughters became Andrews' most trusted companions, sharing his secrets and carrying on his legacy.

The Herbal Legacy

Andrews and the Daughters of the Dragon amassed a vast collection of herbal remedies, many of which were passed down through generations. They believed in the healing power of nature and used plants to treat a wide range of ailments, from common colds to chronic conditions.

One of Andrews' most famous remedies was known as "dragon's blood," a powerful astringent and antiseptic made from the sap of the dragon's blood tree. The Daughters of the Dragon used this remedy to treat wounds, burns, and other skin conditions.

Spiritual Practices

Beyond herbal medicine, the Daughters of the Dragon engaged in a variety of spiritual practices. They believed in the interconnectedness of all living things and sought to align themselves with the natural rhythms of the Earth.

Astrology played a significant role in their practices. The Daughters believed that the positions of the stars and planets held clues to the past, present, and future. They used astrological charts to guide their decision-making and to determine the most auspicious times for healing rituals.

The Decline of Inkpen

By the mid-19th century, the once-thriving village of Inkpen began to decline. The advent of modern medicine diminished the demand for traditional healers, and the Daughters of the Dragon gradually dispersed.

William Andrews died in 1871, leaving behind a legacy that continued to inspire future generations. The Daughters of the Dragon's herbal remedies and spiritual practices were passed down orally, becoming a hidden treasure within the local community.
