Donan Woods -- Dedicated to Cassandra, the Witch of Donan Woods

Welcome to

"The Donan Woods -- things happen there!"

Latest Updates: 09/25/2002

This site is dedicated to the character of Cassandra, the Witch of Donan Woods, from Highlander: The Series, and, by extension, the actress who portrayed her, Tracy Scoggins. Below you will find links and articles on herbal lore, Celtic history, Wiccan and Witchcraft, original cartoons by our resident artist, Leah Rosenthal, pictures of Tracy, reviews of fan fiction, book reviews and more! The links near the bottom aren't all active yet but we are constantly working on them and updating the site. Why not bookmark us and check back often? If you would like to add anything to our site, please e-mail us! And please do sign our guest book while you're here so we know you stopped by to visit. Check out the main Ashton Press page for links to all of our sites, cartoons, photos, fanzines and more. Be sure to check out our Ebay auctions to find tons of long out-of-print fanzines (*Star Wars, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Forever Knight, Blakes 7, Highlander, Indiana Jones, Battlestar Galactica, and much more!), photos (including candid shots of the stars), books, videos and much, much more. I’m going to be posting some Highlander* cartoons and artwork, too. The Rysher Highlander Forum, for those of you who don’t know, is long gone, so if you’re looking for it and don’t know what’s happened to everyone, hop on over to the Holyground Highlander Forum. That’s where many of us are posting now. There seems to be some confusion about who to contact about what. *All* of our websites are maintained by me (Annie) so any website questions should be directed to me. If you are interested in artwork, including commissioning a piece, Leah is the one to talk to. Tracy Scoggins News I’m working on updating the site now that we’ve moved to our new server. Many of the links will be updated and/or changed. If you have any news to contribute about Tracy’s upcoming appearances on TV, the movies or at conventions, please let us know. I will be adding a lot of photos of Tracy that I took at the Highlander Reunion convention in Los Angeles. We met up with Tracy at Dragoncon in Atlanta! You can see photos of her there at our Dragoncon site.

We're also archiving any fan fiction essays and rants here, as well. We're working on the "Generic Cassandra Defense." If you'd like to contribute (for one side or the other!), please e-mail us. Tracy herself on Cassandra (from the September 1999 issue of Femme Fatale): "I think we saw her frailties as time passed...while that character seemed to be good and strong and kind, there was this sense that maybe she was getting a little bit tired of having been around for so many centuries. I think her heart had taken quite a few piercings and after all that time, it was pretty scarred."
	Ancient Egypt -- We haven't had a chance to put any original articles up at this site yet, but we've started compiling some great links on Ancient Egypt for you.
	Cassandra and Witchcraft -- Within the Highlander universe, Cassandra was shown to have very strong links with some form of mystical powers. Check out our new site devoted to Wicca, paganism, and mysticism.
